![]() ![]() Most of the badges came straight from Ford’s American Muscle Cars. ![]() Only one exterior colour was available to the general public, GT Gold, with a black stripe along the door sills and boot. The wood-rimmed steering wheel came straight from the American Mustang and the Australian GT centre badge was stuck over the Mustang pony. The interior of the GT featured the black Fairmont trim, with full instrumentation. Servo-assisted 270 mm front discs and 254 mm rear drums provided the stopping power, while 14-inch steel wheels and 185 section radial tyres were standard. Of course it was necessary to re-rate the standard Falcon front coil and rear semielliptic, leaf-sprung suspension to improve handling. With a four-barrel carburettor and a low restriction exhaust manifold, better breathing gave the car exhilarating performance, 225 bhp at 4800 rpm which translated to top speed of 193 km/h.

It was felt that Ford had made an effort to get it right first go. The 4.7-litre V8 was not new to Australia but its use in a locally-made body now made it the cheapest V8 in the country and a favourite with buyers and the press alike. This new Yankee-built engine was one of three engine options, the others being two versions of the faithful straight six. A major feature of this model was the famous US small block 4.7-litre V8.
