Why this car matters

The Ford XW Falcon GT-HO Phase II is one of the most important muscle cars in Australian motoring history. Built to dominate touring car racing, it featured a 351 cubic inch V8 and was among the fastest four-door production cars of its era.

This #53E entry was driven by John Goss and Bob Skelton in the 1970 Bathurst 500 at Mount Panorama. The race helped cement the Falcon GT-HO’s reputation as a true racing icon and a symbol of Ford’s success in Australian motorsport.

The race livery captures the bold look of early Bathurst competition and makes this model a standout piece for any diecast car collection.
