1972 Ford Falcon XY GT Tribute Single Cab Utility - Lime Green - 351ci V8, 4-Speed Manual - Unregistered RestomodOverviewThe Ford Falcon XY GT represents a golden era of Australian muscle car manufacturing. Launched in 1972, the XY generation marked the final chapter of Ford's locally-built performance ute, combining raw V8 grunt with genuine utility. This particular example has been comprehensively restored and modified, emerging as a striking lime green restomod that captures the spirit of the original whilst incorporating modern reliability and drivability. The 351 cubic inch Windsor V8 paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox delivers authentic period-correct performance, whilst the extensive restoration work visible throughout suggests a build executed with genuine attention to detail and mechanical sympathy.This is not a museum piece.

The windscreen and rear window are clear with no cracks or damage. The black vinyl tonneau cover over the tray is in good condition with clean stitching and secure attachment points.

The driver and passenger bucket seats show excellent condition with no tears, cracks, or wear to the leather. The steering wheel is a period-correct wood-rimmed unit in good condition.
