Hello from Australia, the home of the XY FALCON/FAIRMONT, this is an Amazing restoration, credit to you boys, every detail, spick and span, have been poured into this car, once again well done, keep up the good, master craftsmanship.

[@masteryoda498]

What an amazing restoration, well done you did an absolutely first class job bringing back that old Ford Falcon back to its former glory.

[@Steve19105]

That is really good work, well done. Many sleepless nights, late hours, and lots of cash into that. You took great care of attention to detail.

[@TorqHub]

[@davehamlyn3097]

[@paulmassingham550]

Great Effort - Well done, good to see a Rhino restored to original, not mocked up as a falcon.

[@jasonwyman5096]

tony grace built my 1968 falcon into the car off my dreams 351 auto

[@lukealsmith]

Can we ask how much your total build cost?

[@classiccarhuntersa4465]

Over AU$50k at the time (2015) excluding the cost of the car......

[@dannycarpenter1144]

Nice, but should have put a set of headers on it.

[@classiccarhuntersa4465]

Was a factory resto, so no mods unfortunately.

[@mattlindsay-eb4oq]

BULLCRAP, THIS DIDNT NEED A RESTO, WHAT A JOKE, ANY FLOG COULD PAINT ALL THIS CAR AGAIN, NOTHING WAS FUCKED, IT WAS A DRIVER, FFS, PLEASE,

[@angusiannucci9751]

didn't show first start... only idle... kind of disappointing

[@anthonyhardingham2815]

Shame u turned a Fairmont into another GT faker nice car otherwise

[@classiccarhuntersa4465]

This was an original GT.......MS33

[@garyjones1549]

Maybe a rebate for South African market of a U.S. falcon in Australia where they were made a gt phase 3 did 170mph with a 4 valve Cleveland your one sounds like a 2 valve Windsor a genuine phase 3 is worth 500k to 1. 5 m

[@classiccarhuntersa4465]

I never said its a phase 3. Its a genuine XY GT, 4V Cleveland. No cleveland ever had 4 valves. The 2V cleveland and 4V cleveland denominations refer to the intake manifold and not the number of valves. The 2V cleveland was fitted to the XW GT.

[@smiddysmidton8313]

"170mph with a 4 valve Cleveland" 170mph . A 4 valve cleveland.lmao I don't usually bother but you're an absolute numpty.

[@montystruwig7301]

That engine is a 4V 351CI Cleveland, sir. It is actually quite easy to distinguish between the 2 Ford engine families.

[@garyjones1549]

Fairmont gt don't think so

[@classiccarhuntersa4465]

Was a GT, with both tags intact. Diamond black, manual with power steering...

[@randomdude4669]

It was sold in the south african market mate it is actually a fairmont gt

[@johngibson3837]

​@@classiccarhuntersa4465hey up mate it's strange how door cards on this SA Fairmont GT don't go all way up to the glass like they do on ozi Fairmont and GTs
