Something about the past screams "Individualism" to me. Like back in the day the world somehow knew that people wanted things that reflected themselves in a way and options like wild colours and style for the EVERYDAY person, not just the super rich were available. Now, its like the world wants to remind you if you are NOT rich, you are more or less a cog in the machine who needs a regular A-B car to give you enough just to get you to work. I mean can you imagine, working at a factory, or farm or any kind of labouring job back in 1971 and at the end of the day, drive home in one of these? I know people may disagree. But I feel the world has done all it can to take the fun out of the every day man's life. Be it Lock outs at bars and pubs on Saturday night. Next to no city parking without paying high fees for it. Something about today just feels too bland. Am I wrong?

A very dear friend, school day pals, work colleague and team mate in an Escort BDA Rally car, Andrew Cave and I worked together at Ford Motor Company of South Africa in the Competitions Department. Andrew bought from the company in 1971 a Fairmont (Saffer model name for Falcon) GTHO Phase 3 which had been a specially ordered and built in Melbourne for Product Evaluation in FoMoCo South Africa. For obvious reasons it was not approved for production in SA. The senior Management who evaluated the car were still hyperventilating an hour after a test run with one of the Product Specialists who was a saloon racer in his spare time. Andrew purchased the car with about 2500 km on the clock. It was the same colour as the car in this video but was equipped with a sunroof. I am not sure that the engine was the same spec as the car in the video, as Andrews car had an engine spec which I believe was producing over four hundred bhp and was one of 18 or so team cars built with that engine spec. The car would run the 1/4 mile in the low 12's on a roughish country tar road with proper timing equipment. in early 1972 Andrew and I travelled back from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth a distance of about 725 miles in 7hrs 10 min including a 30 minute coffee stop with Andrews Mum in Cradock about 150 miles from home. No stupid driving as we left Johannesburg at noon which was after the normal week end traffic back to the coast on a Sunday afternoon. Andrew cruised at 210 km/h where possible and the car was comfortable at that speed. Also there was no major Law Enforcement in those good old days. We had checked the cars top end some while before outside Port Elizabeth on a highway and it ran a few decimals over 260 km/h through a speed trap. The car was sold and has been in Australia for a long time now. Sadly my old mate passed away in 2017.

A message to all those XY GT HO Lovers, This Friday over in the good old USA at a place called Monterey, California Mecum held its annual Monterey Auction. On Friday California time Lot F144 crossed the block & sold, I urge you to google Mecum Auction Results for Monterey some great cars for sale. Here are the specifications for Lot F144. 1971 Ford Mustang Fastback Mach 1 with a Factory Number Matching 429 SCJ. Factory 4 speed with Factory T Handle Hurst Shifter. Factory 9 inch rear end with LSD 4.11:1 ratio Gold Judging Specifications Rebuilt 429 SCJ with Drag Pack Dyno 416 HP. 1 of 531 with 429 SCJ engine / Drag Pack Less than 100 miles since ground up restoration. Only 2 Drag Pack 1971 Mach 1 429 SCJ Mustangs had this color combination and only 1 to have Factory fitted Magnum 500 Wheels ( so 1 of 1 ) Full Marti report, Absolutely stunning looking Mustang highly recommend everyone to check it out. So how much for this beautiful Mustang, I hope you XY GT HO Phase 3 lovers are sitting down $52,250 USD that's right $52,250 USD. So if you had $100,000 Australian you can fly to California have a 2 weeks holiday live it up, buy & cruise you Big Block Mustang, load it up into a container, fly back home & await it arrival then go XY GT HO hunting all day everyday blowing any XY GT HO into the weeds whilst looking beautiful in a stunning 1971 Fastback Mustang. Secondly if you were to sell it you probably make a profit out of it here in Australia if not make your money back in USA without a doubt. For $600K you can buy say a 1970 or 1971 Plymouth or Dodge Pony Car either Challenger or Cuda with either a 426 Hemi or 440 Six Pack, 4 speed with a Dana 60 arse end & both these cars are desired all over the muscle car world & they never loose value, instant recognition & a hell of alot sexier & gorgeous than a XY GT or no GT. My point there is better buying atm out of USA than there has ever been everyoje off loading there muscle cars & there are some great bargains to be bought. You look at a XA GT RPO 83 Hardtop in my opinion the most beautiful Ford to be built in Australia, these Hardtop's should be head & shoulder over any XY GT HO alo day every day without a doubt, there is no comparison between an XA to an XY. Yet a XA Hardtop is fetching over $150K & that is justified in my opinion yet a 1971 Ford Torino GT with a 429 CJ with a 4 speed you can buy for $30K at Auction over in the states similar body style to the XA Hardtop but bigger. Still prefer the XA. I have a 1970 VG 770 Hardtop Hemi Valiant which after 3 years of painful restoration is about to be back on the road. I have been offered $60K once I finish it, but why should I sell it & let someone else enjoy my Valiant after all my hard work, yet I can sell it do over to the states buy a 1969 Dodge GTS with a 340 cubic with a 4 speed for $30K USD in excellent condition. Something to think about

Hi Louis i just had a look at that car very nice car for the money it was very cheap even drag pack 4sp hurst argent and blue metallic nice colour combo's even with our $$ at 70 cents US it's still a cheap muscle car i'm surprised that's all it went for .It definitely makes a gtho look ridiculously over priced for a 4 door car doesn't it also take a look at my channel and leave a comment on my old 73 there's 2 videos of it.. cheers Mick

Definitely not original, unfortunately the left hand door mirror is in the wrong spot. Now you’re gonna have to remove it, weld up the holes you drilled in the wrong spot, respray the top of the passenger door and put the bloody mirror in the right spot. FYI the left door mirror is placed further back ,than the mirror on the drivers door.
