1968 FORD FALCON XT GT TRIBUTE – AUTO

This is a superb restoration of a Falcon sedan done as a GT tribute.

Presenting in Silver with Black interior trim.

We hold the original handbook showing it was delivered new to a resident of Whyalla SA on the 18th of March 1968. It still wears the original SA number plate #RSJ903.

The current owner has embarked on a major transformation of this car and his words are probably the best to give you an accurate idea of the car’s current status:-
