The EL 30th Anniversary GT commemorates the history of the Falcon GT's, starting with the XR GT, in 1967.
Succession of GT models has built on Falcon's strengths with a successful Motorsport history and their dominance has helped make the Falcon what it is today.
Over many years, buyer preference in this performance market has changed from the basic, performance orientation of the earlier GT's to the more refined "Grand Tourer", a vehicle with comfort, fine appointments, state-of-the-art engineering, and exceptional handling.
Ford Australia and Tickford Vehicle Engineering produced the 30th Anniversary Falcon GT to coincide with the release of the First Falcon GT in May 1967, the XR GT and the start of a legend.
It elevates Australian grand touring to a level never before achieved. It bears an impeccable pedigree and introduces exciting state-of-the-art technology.
