Ford XA Falcon GT-HO Phase IV

In 1972 the new XA GT was released and a GT-HO model was required to supersede the XY GT-HO on the race track. Three XAs were sent to Howard Marsden and his team at Ford Special Vehicles, Fords’s internal race division.
Racing rules at the time dictated that 200 standard Phase IVs had to be produced into road going versions. The media published a story of the supposed ‘160 mph supercars on our roads’, this started a mass hysteria that eventually led to the government stepping in and demanding that all production cease of these road going race cars.
Ford was in the later stage of building the Phase IV prototype racecars, but only one of them was completed, the Moffat racecar ‘XA-1’. The Ford Special Vechicle factory never finished the remaining ‘XA-2’ and ‘XA-3’ phase IV Falcons, but they did continue to have a life with new owners.
Our model is based on XA-3, originally delivered to Max McLeod, the car remained unused and stripped of parts. XA-3 was eventually restored sourcing as many original parts as possible.
