Rarely does a genuine one-of-one Falcon GT come onto the market, and this isn't just any so-called "one-of-one" where the only difference is a tow bar. This is a true one-of-one vehicle—the only Falcon GT ever built in striking Bechtel Yellow.


Not only is it exceptionally rare and eye-catching, but it also boasts an impressive list of factory options:


 - Rare Bechtel Yellow
 - B2 trim (comfortable even after parking in the sun)
 - Power steering
 - Sunroof
 - Air conditioning
 - Power windows
 - Black bonnet
 - Radio/8 Track deck
 - Front and rear spoilers
 - Delete wax option


That's an impressive list for any Aussie Muscle Car.
 

This Falcon GT isn't just a showpiece; it's a road-ready classic that has been lovingly restored, driven and enjoyed. It's ready for you to take the keys and become its next custodian.
 

The panel and paint were redone to factory specifications a few years ago, and it presents beautifully with only minor wear and tear from its time on the road.

The original 351 engine block was rebuilt during the restoration and kept mostly to factory specs (it's running big port 4V heads which are a nice period upgrade, with the addition of an aftermarket carby and ICE ignition. The engine bay presents just as it did when it left the factory.
 

The factory FMX automatic transmission has been replaced with a 4-speed Top Loader manual gearbox, and all associated components have been changed to appear as a factory manual setup, even inc upgrading to big port 4V heads as per manual GTs of that time period.
 

The interior is in excellent condition and has been restored. During the restoration, the dash frame was cleaned up, but the padded vinyl was not refitted before reassembly. The owner intended to complete this but hasn't had the time. The rest of the dash remains as per factory specifications.

The GT comes with both sets of wheels shown in the photos, a set of 15x7" flat lip Globes (believed to be original, inspection welcome), it also comes with aftermarket 15x8-10" flat lip deep dish Globes with BFG tyres.

Currently on NSW Historic registration (non-transferable).

Additional photos are available upon request. Personal inspections by genuine buyers are welcome (Photo ID and a refundable deposit are required prior). This GT is located approximately one hour North of Sydney on the Central Coast. Viewing at a secure location can be arranged; however, please request photos of anything you wish to see prior, as the owner would prefer the in-person inspection to be the final stage of the sale. Inspection by any reputable pre-purchase inspection agent is welcome, and a hoist can be made available with prior notice as well.
