This feature is more than just chrome and horsepower. It’s about passion, preservation, and the connection enthusiasts have with iconic Ford GT machinery that helped define Aussie muscle cars.

Ford Galaxie Convertible – Big, Bold, and Built to Cruise

Graham’s Ford Galaxie Convertible is a standout example of classic American-influenced Ford design, blending size, comfort, and effortless presence. With its long body lines, wide stance, and unmistakable open-top cruising appeal, the Galaxie represents a time when cars were built to make a statement.

In our interview, Graham explains what drew him to the Galaxie and why convertibles hold a special place in classic car culture. The Galaxie isn’t about chasing lap times or trophies – it’s about enjoyment, cruising, and appreciating a beautifully engineered classic car. It’s the kind of machine that turns heads at any car show and reminds people why they fell in love with classic cars in the first place.

XW Ford Falcon GT – A Numbers Matching Aussie Icon

Sitting proudly alongside the Galaxie is Graham’s XW Ford Falcon GT, a car that needs no introduction among Aussie muscle car fans. As a numbers matching example, this Falcon GT represents authenticity at its finest – a critical factor for collectors and enthusiasts who value originality and history.

The XW Falcon GT played a crucial role in cementing Ford Australia’s performance legacy, bridging the gap between road cars and motorsport dominance. In the interview, Graham shares what it’s like owning a genuine GT, the responsibility that comes with preserving such an iconic vehicle, and why these cars continue to climb in desirability and value.

From its aggressive styling to its unmistakable GT presence, the XW Falcon GT is a reminder of a time when Australian manufacturers weren’t afraid to build bold, powerful cars for the road.

A Childhood Dream Realized

For the current owner, this XA GT is more than just a car; it’s a lifelong dream come true. At only seven years old, he remembers sitting in the car for the first time. Unbeknownst to him, that seemingly ordinary moment would turn into a personal journey intertwined with the Falcon’s history. His family worked at Westland Autos in the Goldfields, where they also serviced this very car—a connection that has only strengthened his bond with the vehicle.

The Transformation of a Classic

Originally finished in the rare factory shade of Wild Violet with white trim, the XA Falcon GT later underwent a transformation. Due to paint fading over time, the car was resprayed by Melville Motors in Perth in Onyx Black with silver accents before it was sold to its third owner. The vehicle was put away in storage by its fourth owner, who kept it hidden from view for over two decades, leaving it a hidden gem until its fifth owner brought it back to life by restoring the interior and detailing the exterior. The sixth owner then completed the look by respraying the bonnet and side mirrors, finalizing the design initiated by Melville Motors.

Despite the modifications, this XA GT remains a true survivor—a numbers-matching vehicle with less than 80,000 kilometers on the original engine. Remarkably, the car’s interior remains mostly original, with only the carpet, hood lining, and seat covers replaced due to wear during its extended stay in storage.

A Piece of History Preserved

While the XA Falcon GT isn’t currently registered—preserving its low mileage—the owner has big plans for it. A full concourse restoration is in the works, aiming to return the car to its original factory specifications. In the meantime, it remains a hidden treasure, rarely seen by the public. Aussie Garage is honored to have been given a rare glimpse of this iconic XA GT and to share its story with fellow enthusiasts.

This XA Ford Falcon GT is a reminder of the timeless appeal of classic cars and the passion of enthusiasts who work to keep their stories alive. We look forward to seeing this Wild Violet gem restored to its former glory and appreciate the owner’s generosity in sharing this beautiful piece of Australian automotive history with Aussie Garage.

The post Hidden Treasure: An Original 1972 XA Ford Falcon GT Resurfaces After 20 Years in Storage appeared first on Australia's Home of Classic Cars, Muscle Cars & Automotive Events.

A motors expert by trade, Mick’s passion shines through in his Camaro. It’s no surprise he’s dropped a big block engine into the car, paired with a Turbo 400 transmission and a 9-inch diff combo. Originally equipped with a small block, Mick felt that wasn’t enough to satisfy his need for speed and power. Over the years, he’s also updated the interior, adding a trim kit with new foam, making the seats more comfortable while giving the interior a sporty look—all while retaining the original seat frames.

On the outside, the front has seen fresh paint, but the rear still boasts its original finish, giving it a unique character. Despite this mix, the Camaro presents beautifully in its vibrant orange, and the 15-inch Centreline wheels complete the car’s classic muscle look. It’s a stunning ride, with plenty of muscle under the hood to back it up.

But that’s not the only car Mick has in his garage.

He’s currently working on a genuine, matching numbers 351 XB Ford Falcon GT—a classic that he plans to flip. This particular XB came to Mick through a friend who couldn’t close the deal, so Mick swooped in a few months later. It’s an extremely rare model—one of only six produced with its specific colour and trim combo. The B2 interior features a fabric and vinyl combination, while the exterior sports a striking Mulberry colour.

Mick’s XB Ford Falcon GT currently rolls on a set of globe wheels, though he’s held onto the original 12-slot wheels to keep it as authentic as possible. He’s still putting the finishing touches on it, but it may already be on the road by now. We can’t wait to see this one fully restored and tearing up the streets.

Thanks for tuning in to Aussie Garage—stay tuned for more interviews coming soon.
