Some of those cars had a spectrum coloured insert known as “Hawaiian pack”. There are believed to be only 14 XW GT / GT-HOs made with dark saddle trim and cloth inserts.

This guide provides a detailed outline of the XW GTs specifications and unique features. The performance specifications, racing success and relative scarcity of the XW GTs have made the cars highly desirable among collectors, particularly in Australia. An outright victory at Bathurst was achieved in the 1970 Hardie-Ferodo 500, with Allan Moffat at the wheel of a XW GT-HO Phase II. Ford’s efforts to succeed in motorsport culminated in the GT-HO vehicles which were produced in sufficient numbers to allow the cars to compete in Class E touring car events, and more specifically to win the famous Bathurst endurance race at Mount Panorama. The XW Falcon GT was based on the Fairmont trim specification, and received a number of performance upgrades to make the car competitive in Australian production touring car racing. However, CKD kits were exported to South Africa from 1970 where the vehicle was sold as the “Fairmont GT”. The XW Falcon GT was sold exclusively to the Australian market. The XW was the third generation Falcon GT, and the first to offer the HO (Handling Option) homologation model. This information guide covers the Australian Ford Falcon XW GT and GT-HO vehicles.
