[MrZiggywatson]

This car wood be the ultimate car for any ford fan! if not any car fan!

[MuzzDrifter94]

theHerald Sun is always complaining about something...

[gogogeedus]

We used to work on one of the phase 4's up in Queensland,it was the green one originally calypso green but had been resprayed a darker green color at the time.the guy that owned it used it as his daily drive car.I have read that this car has been repainted the original color by a collector from Sydney.

This car was unique as it was the only one to be built at the ford factory and the others three were all red.

[racer6583]

Funny thing about goverments here in the state we have nascar and they killed our version of the super v8's along with our gov,Insurence company's. It seems to me that to many People are telling everyone what they should do, what a shame good looking car keep your auto history alive

[leeenfieldsmle]

The late Greg Hansford had one of these.It was Kawasaki green and was modded for him. I was a friend of Gregs and remember him thrashing it over Settlement rd at the Gap in Brisbane.Before that he had a Gold Phase 3 which he sold to the late Rodney Murdoch who put it into a dentist's surgery opposite the Newmarket Hotel in the wet....very expensive. Don't know what happened to the Phase 4.

[X0ltare]

6 people bring toyota prius' to eastern creek

[Harakudoshi904]

@skirace its the phase 4 because the xw had a phase 1 the xy was the phase 2 and 3, and the xa was had the phase 4 prototype. 3 racing versions and 1 street version. Its a proper musclecar.

[paspax]

@Harakudoshi904

The "phase 1' or "Windsor HO" & the Phase II were both XW's.

Phase III was XY.

[skirace]

the 3 race cars were just purpose built GT race cars with plenty of PH3 parts .. why do they call them Phase 4's?

[Gavin84w]

Keen

Interest

Without

Intelligence

[RedOct74LH]

i remember reading a few years ago, that there was the 4 Phase IV's but also a Phase IV and 1/2 Hardtop, that was being built for a Sydney Ford dealer at the time, as prototype for the '73 season, while the sedans was for the '72 season. The Hardtop that Alan Moffit won Bathurst in in '73 was a IV in every respect bar name(RPO83), same with the XA Hardtop the John Goss won with the following year.

[gpartrt]

seriously! i like mk1's but i dare you to post the factory stats of the e49 vs the mk1! i think you will find the charger a little bit faster! just a little!

[X0ltare]

seeing a phase 4 and a cobra driving side by side gives me goosebumps

[Holden308]

Luffy should do more TV. The guy know's his stuff.

[reeceracing123]

This is the most awesome car EVER!!!

[GohanDragonBallz123]

its not ho. the only ho phase 4 is green and actually has plate saying its a ho.

[fomocoboy]

number 3 was the rally car that got written off.

[fjbutch]

nice...

[markyxr8]

ther only were made 5 of it not 4 but!! now it 4 of it cos 1 has crashed!! so 3 brambles red and 1 cylpso green! i loved the XA are the best!!

[JBofBrisbane]

Wasn't the homologation number 250 for Series Production and Group C? Group A needed 5000 of a particular car and engine, then 500 "sporting evolution" examples to homologate all the go-faster bits and body kit.

Great to see one of these running, though.

[eddie100]

I am a novice, but when I was young in the '60's and '70's, Bathurst was a race for production cars ie more than 500 had to be built and sold to the public, with the same specs as the race car. What has happened to that ideal? Considering what powerful cars kid's can drive around in today (they have the rights and responsibilities to do that), I reckon a production car race (stock standard), would be winner.

[wargasmnz]

@eddie100 Back in the 70s all they did was release the likes of the GTHO. and GTS350. Make the race car and then sell enough of them to the public to get the car in the series. The HO and GTS options even included road legal race tyres. So all you would do is force it back to the old days where they produce race cars for the public and then enter them in the race and end up back at square 1 pretty quick.

[natroy2245]

Ford made four Phase 4's. Three red one's, and one green. The green one was rally crossed and ridden off. I think it was by Leo or Ian Geoghan.

[bazzagc]

No

Two of the race cars still exist. One was rallied. The green one was a road car. The race car that was written off (lrn2spl) collected a Holden towing a caravan, Google is your friend.

[eddie100]

Square #1 is a good place to start.

As I said, the race was for production cars.

I can by buy one, my niece can buy one.

If you had the insurance, you could've driven from Melbourne, in your race car, and then raced. Did you need insurance about the ** then?

[Gassed250]

The cylpso green one was never raced or crashed, it was the only one to have gt-ho on the compliance plate

The first owner was a gentleman form Bowral NSW who drove it to Sydney and back daily, this fellow had the car repainted in zircon green as he didnt like the factory colour ,

The current owner is a dentist from Sydney and has had the car fully restored

[DaleC22]

Yep you can read the whole story in Issue 63 of Street Fords.

[2009bfs]

@natroy2245 the green one lives and was not writern off and has been restored to its former glory

[reeceracing123]

@2009bfs yeah there was 1 3 issue article about it in the Street Fords mag.

[gogogeedus]

@natroy2245 The green HO still exists it was owned by a collector in Sydney.I worked at a place that used to tune that car for its previous owner in Qld.

[idak12]

This car must be worth more than 1 mil if a p3 is worth 1 mil. The XA Falcon is the best looking falcon ever and 351 is such a gorgeous sound.

[TheHeroSam]

@idak12 1 mil? HAHA a phase 3 is around that and there are alot more. this would be worth WAAAAAAAAAY over that

[andgate2000]

Not sure id be driving a rare car on 40year old tyres, tyre have a fixed life even if theyre not driven on. Theres no way that car would stop from 160mph on 1972 brakes.

[666gunna]

There are some real goose's out there people! For those of you knocking these Fantastic Cars you should pull your heads out of your arse's. These's Cars are a piece of Australian & World History. They Deserve Respect! If you don't like them then keep it to your self. No one wants to hear your Dribble.

[Sasquatch279]

i have this on dvd, Serious V8's. Good watch!

[fpvshitsonhsv]

Fucken best car ever!!Goverment killed the GTHO dont forget it!!!

[tonynessa]

They cold have got rid of the Torana and the Commodore out of the shot @3.00. Spoilt the whole thing!

[atlast17]

wow 6000 rpm think if you did that to a 1972 350 chev, parts would be spread from Albury to Portland,

[Gavin84w]

Yeh right numskull, dig up what Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins did with smallblocks in drag racing and would turn them to 11000 rpm

[davembanks]

@Gavin84w I think you should call yourself a numskull, pulling 11,000 rpm on a drag strip for 10 seconds is NOTHING like circuit racing, how many laps of bathurst could an  11000pm engine sustain, probably NONE moron

[Gavin84w]

@davembanks I never said it was like circuit racing,read the post my reply was to, there was no reference to any form of racing what so ever just that a 1972 350 Chev would be spread from Albury to Portland if you turned it to 6000RPM. Now i give a little background to my comment by naming an absolutely legendary engine builder and his efforts with SBC.

I never said anything about your beloved roundy round crap or it,s comparison to drag racing so who is the moron hey champ?

[davembanks]

@Gavin84w This post is about athe legendary phase4 which was not built for drag racing, so an IDIOT (yourself) compares it to a DRAG racing engine builder. MORON stick to the topic.

[Gavin84w]

@davembanks I know the post is about the phake 4 but i will repeat again for the dummy my reply was at atlast 17,s comment (who in your world took it "off topic") by commenting that a 350 chev would blow up if revved to 6000RPM.How you get me comparing the so called legendary phase 4 to a drag racing engine builder out of what i posted in reply to a 350 Chev blowing up i am at a total loss to understand your thinking, take a breath, read it and understand it.

[davembanks]

@Gavin84w Stick to the topic DUMMY

[Gavin84w]

@davembanks Yor replies are getting shorter so it is encouraging to understand that by that you may, just may be understanding what i am saying, frankly i don,t give a rats about the topic i just hate seeing BS put on things like forums etc and if i chosse to reply to a comment topic related or not it will be with valid information as to why and just to humour you the only good thing in that phase 4 would be the 9 inch and toploader.

[davembanks]

@Gavin84w Lots of bulshit no substance, no supprise from a moron who can't stick to the topic and talks about straight line crap, who can't drive in a straight line, get a life

[Gavin84w]

@davembanks Well i thought you might have got it but i am mistaken, it is obvious all that going in circles stuff to find the finish line has messed with your head, you fogot to put moron in the big caps bro?

You sure your last name is not Bates and middle name Master?

Just like your phase 4 pal, over and out.

[davembanks]

@Gavin84w Giving up fag, you will always be mistaken.

If you had an education you would have learned to spell (EG: you fogot to put moron in the big caps bro?)

big caps, I think you will find it"s called upper case, (fogot), i think what you meant to say was (for got) dummy

[Gavin84w]

@davembanks Just for you one more time bro, like the whole time i have been trying to explain something to you and you do not understand, over and out means just that but you come back asking a question if i am giving up, over and out again for you (but i bet my right and left one you will reply)

[davembanks]

@Gavin84w You will never be cleaver enouh to play mind games that get the sought after result

[Gavin84w]

@davembanks Already got it!! see below in brackets where i said i bet the left and right one you will reply and you did and i will go double or nothing!!

[davembanks]

@Gavin84w Over and out how many times did you say, i can get you to reply as many times aeen hads I like, you have been had again and again,please reply to this, I dare ya

[Gavin84w]

@davembanks Double or nothing and i got ya, game over pal but i know your type, your one of these types who just has to have the last comment, you just can,t resist.

Oh and you might want to read a couple of your last comments and spell check them as you may have the same trouble i did putting a couple of words together, but hey your the genius around here, over and out bro.

[davembanks]

@Gavin84w 3 over and outs so far

[bradlez996]

If i won 1st division on Powerball, i'd probably try to buy 1 of these, or Bill Bourke's old XW-GT. The 1 with the factory fitted 428 Cobra Jet engine.

I wonder which 1 would more expensive?

[atlast17]

No buy the 40th anniversary edition gt, thats the one that turns me on !

[RobStaniford]

my dads building a xr faker gt. im gonna have fun :) (first gt falcon is the xr)

[krashdown102]

i'll never buy the herald again.

[paspax]

Only 3 of the 4 Phase 4's were red. They were being prepped for racing.

The fourth one was green with a cream interior & aircon. (may also have been auto with a sunroof, can't remember) It went down the line like any other production car.

A lot of the excess phase 4 parts left over after the RPO 83's were built, found their way into Fairlanes.

[bnz500]

If only Ford still made cars this good.

[54spiritedwill54]

freakin awesome! that is all.

[HoldenMotorsport]

im not gonna hate this car. the phase 4 falcon is an awsome car. very rare too (as you all know). im a holden man, but i still love the old fords. they sound fantastic, they look fantastic, and they go fantastic. would have been good to see it race at Mt Panorama.

[waynegrovs]

all you holden morons watching and caning this bloody idiots. No holden ever has been or ever will be as desireable or as valueable as a phase 3 or phase 4 falcon no 308 factory produced engine could be brought with the power of this car, holden needed to fit a 350 chev to get close and still couldnt get near it

[HoldenMotorsport]

correct me if im wrong mate, but didnt Holden use the 327ci (5.3L) which was 24ci smaller than the 351ci (5.7L) in 1968 and still won the race????

[dodgeboy71]

yeah up against a 302 cleveland [4.9] v8

[ozhardcunt]

302 windsor.

[mattforce400]

holden did build a straight 6 for the lj torana that flogged the xy

[XXXXShelts]

And remember Bruce Hogdson ripped through the bush in one of these as a rally car!!!

[XXXXShelts]

Would Des West have been having a qiuet ciggy down Conrod in one of these??

[GotLuv4TheGame]

im bored on cam

looking for friends YA

[INSINR8R]

you don't have to like fords to appreciate this car. I love my holdens, but this is an awesome car

[fulbore]

The best Australian sports car of the time. Had a GT Special years ago, didn't know what I had. Oh well... Such is life.

[swanny812]

=O  wow

[kjsh987]

one of the most gratest cars of the world

[iceking27]

Let's all be honest, everyone on this comments page is a blue blood at heart. I mean why else would you be looking up Fords anyway. Besides last time I checked the only way a Holden beat the new FPV F6 was by shoving a Corvette engine in it.

[leeroyAK]

and uping their 6.0lte engine to 6.2lte

[seamsy289]

i've met Bruce Hodgson who was the only person to race one

ford australia gave it to him and rallyed it in the southern cross rallys

[boofheadrules]

I had an XA GT back in 78. went like hell but the body rusted away.........

[sculder02]

phuk off holden lovers poofs, my GT was a weapon!!!!!!!!!! sure they were heaps but give me a ford heap over ur shite holden crap. ford had better brakes, diff, beta everything back then

[AUSSIEgunfreak]

This cars awsome but still the GT-HO, GT-40 and the Mustang are the only good Fords! the rest are shit!! now Holdens, every Holden is an awsome car

[rock2fackie]

Ford Falcon's were australian idols! more than u can say for those shit arse holdens.

we own an XA GT with a 351 7.0 litre V8 and it runs like a beast.

[falcongt351]

351's were 5.8 litres not 7 noob

[kpcart]

haha, caught out there!

[berserka]

can they be stroked to 7.0? ive herd of a XW Gt ONLY 2-3 made. that was a 7.0

some big name guy had one. 4got his name

[falcongt351]

they could be stroked, but then 'rock2fackie's 7 litre wouldnt be a 351 anymore, it would be a 427 or 428 something around there. clearly lying :p

[davembanks]

@rock2fackie the falcons were tooled and designed in USA you clowns

[Philx4xFar]

@davembanks - Not these ones! Ford built their own version of the Falcon well after Ford in the US stopped making it. The Aussie Falcon was in fact designed and built entirely in Australia, as it still is today.

[560287144602817]

@davembanks xa falcon was the first all australian falcon body everything before that were built from american designs.

[davembanks]

@560287144602817 If you aussies believe this don't look at a 71 torino, stop steeling USA designs and calling them australian

[davembanks]

@560287144602817 If you aussies believe this don't look at a 71 torino, stop steeling USA designs and calling them australian

torino in 71 and gt coupe in 72 get real you aussies

[gpartrt]

@davembanks and what iconic car has new zealand made lately or for that matter ever you arogant sheep rooter

[davembanks]

@gpartrt The reason you aussies have a bad name is because of people like you giving them all a bad name, no intellegent post from you I see, no supprise.

Do you know anything at all about cars (obviously not)

[gpartrt]

@davembanks the reason we dont like you kiwis is because you are jealous and willing to make comment on issues you guys cant back up, if you had iconic cars that were made in nz your comment would have some credit but obviously not! and yes i know about cars, just restored a valliant vh charger made in AUSTRALIA

[davembanks]

@gpartrt You still don't get it, australia did not tool or design these cars, all you did was to assemble them, are you to stupid to comprehend plain english.

Does restored mean you did the restore or paid some one to restore it, they are not the same thing

[gpartrt]

@davembanks the valiant charger was designed and built in the chrysler factory adelaide australia. the 265 hemi is only found in australia as chrysler australia designed and blue printed the engine with it only being sent to italy overseas to fine tune the webber set up. i did all the body work with only the interior and engine assembly paid for so if you think your talking to some stupid informed car nut you thought wrong champ!

[davembanks]

@gpartrt

Chrysler Corporation in the US had been working since 1966 on an inline 6-cylinder engine, called the D-engine, to replace the Slant 6 (G-engine) in Dodge trucks, but abandoned the effort. Chrysler Australia wanted a new six-cylinder engine for use in the Australian Chrysler Valiant, and so Chrysler USA sent engineers to work with Chrysler Australia's engineers to continue developing the D-engine.

Do some reasearch clown

[gpartrt]

@davembanks so you deny that the aussie charger is aussie built! swallow ya tongue mate you cant always be right!

[davembanks]

@gpartrt You should do some reasearch before flapping your gums and get the facts right

[gpartrt]

@davembanks im gonna leave this post now but i noticed you still didnt answer the question if you deny the aussie charger was a aussie produced car? i think i know why.lol

[davembanks]

@gpartrt Of course your gonna leave, tail between leggs and scurry off when argument is lost, it's the aussie way.

no we don't make cars but neither do you, usa tool and design all aussie assembled fords and holdens and have allways done and allways will.

Correct me if I am wrong

[gpartrt]

@davembanks im talking about the charger you retarded kiwi! the car you refuse to accept was australian made! im sure your able to read you welfare forms properly

[davembanks]

@gpartrt You have nothing intellegent here to say again, as for the charger the name dosn't fit, those slugs were beaten by the cortina, 265 cubes what a joke when will you get a real car, one made for men not pig rooting charger lovers

My last resto was my MACH1, a real car

[potaka79]

@davembanks come on mate, the ford territory is aussie designed and built. aussie six.............i can't speak for the red arrmy but ford aussie make there own motors and cars, have done for the last 60 yrs..( our v8 are imported, but they are pulled down and re tooled............

[JBofBrisbane]

@davembanks - Ford started local design of the Falcon from the XA model in 1972, retaining only the floorpan from the previous American-designed package. Okay, Project Blackwood resorted to Euro-sourced panels, but EA26 was completely local. Holden borrowed styling cues for its cars for years, until the VB Commodore. Valiants were all-Australian (except the basest origins of its engine) since the VH in '71. To my knowledge, the only "local" Kiwi car was a licence-built Sigma.

[JBofBrisbane]

@davembanks - Mate, back in those days we pressed all our body panels from locally produced steel. And we designed the XA Falcon here, unlike all the Falcons that went before.

[davembanks]

@rock2fackie 351 equates to 5.7 litre not 7.0

[67675656565655656565]

fuck u gotta hand 2 drivers like moffatt and bill brown 4 driving xy phase 3's.I dont no if they were either fearless or just crazy.Because those gt's were so dangerous 2 drive.Lucky no one was killed driving em.Goes to show that they werent a great car 2 drive and were incredibly dangerous aswell.

[dodgeboy71]

now im not too sure if this true but did they make a xa gtho phase 4 2dr coupe???????????

[blownfalcon]

nope. 4 red sedan race cars, + 1 green sedan which was the only production car with GTHO on the compliance plate.

[thedeathvalleygirl]

Yeah a million dollar highly desirable crap heap

And what the hell has 350 to do with a 2007 hsv gts?

Its arse hats like you that give holden a bad image

[67675656565655656565]

dam straght gt 's r shit u would have 2 b a dickhead 2 pay a fortune 4 em now

[the86er]

Phase 4 would have been the last 4door HO.

Phase 5 was well into the planning stage when

the HO program was shutdown and would have been a 2door.

[veyron2008]

1970w clearly has no idea what his talking about, the XC is nearly the same, the only difference is that the particular xc his talkin about is a 2 door, they made 2 door xa gts too, they just wanted to contiue the xy tradition of 4 doors on a gtho

[falconxf88]

you have to be an american to not appreciate this car... or a messed up aussie, no offence to the amercins or anyone...

[stevo351]

yeah i reckon i have an xa sedan that im gonna do up as a gt in calypso green.

some yanks import the XY GT's.

[67675656565655656565]

i agree gt s r incredibly overated and they were a shit car 2 drive

[churdude]

An insight to where motor racing was heading. The closest thing to these would of been the Police pursuit cars made for chase power. Even the old Mustang would of strangled to pace these, even Moffat switched to the GTHO, so as for it being a four door who cares. If you love the sound of V8's these are up there!!

[falconxf88]

just wondering, if your a holden fan y do u bother to even watch this?? just so u can start shit???

[alanwdawson]

what a beast,4 doors who cares it a piece of motoring history,you dont need 2 doors to be a legend.the xc cobra was only made to get rid of unused 2door falcon parts.

[1970w314speed]

The car is butt ugly, i dont care how cool or fast it is. Why is it a 4 door??? answer that.... The XC cobra looks way better and meaner.  Then Again almost any car looks better than that thing. GRANDMAS & GRAMPAS drive 4 Door cars

[stu22aus]

Well I guess if your average M5, RS6, E55, R8 and XR falcon owners are all Grandparents, where do I sign for Grandchildren?

[mitdy]

lol they only made XC cobra becasue they had 400 left over shells and only GRANDMAS & GRAMPAS drive 4 Door cars they had 410 hp so get ur facts right befor start talking bout shit u dont no and im only 15 years old

[mitdy]

that was for 1970w314speed

[Gassed250]

people with no friends drive 2 doors

[likemenooneis]

@Gassed250 lol Tools drive 4 doors think about it your friends are probably always using you for rides

[Gassed250]

@likemenooneis thats ok it gives me an excuse to go for a cruise

[reeceracing123]

@Gassed250 lololol

[bowmanation]

i went an saw this bloke about 2 weeks ago

he has the sweetest cars.

nice as pie as well.

i only got to see them cause my uncle is good mates with him from back in the day.

[tinaalwayswins]

what might have been

[ValSedans]

fuck holden AND ford. GO MOPAR!

[1970w314speed]

Whats the big deal on this car , its a 4 door ??

[soundog74]

so you can put the kids in the back mate.

[jas072]

Yeh Yeh what a weapon.What were they thinking baning the phase 4 falcon

[beniv8]

there are only 3 left, one was written off by a commodre towing a caravan!

[Freddy1Walker]

Absolutely Heart Breaking mate.

[hotcurry1964]

yea they existed mate...i can remember as a kid

i do rather like the chargers tho

[noithasntbeen]

Outstanding Ford! I never knew they existed, so thanks a lot for this video describing in detail what they were all about!

[bowmanation]

i'm going to see a bloke who has all the phase gtho's. I II III IV

the phase three is for sale for a mill, an the phase 4 is 2 mill. so i'm goin to see him before they sell

[akvette]

Well bowmanation , take your video camera and post up a clip as a reply to this video - just don't disclose the guys details or location.

[bowmanation]

i'll take some vids on my phone, i havent got a camera.

the phase three is for sale in this months unique cars for a mill

[antiwonggalonggalo]

i doubt the owner of the phase 4 is selling it dude......

[antiwonggalonggalo]

plenty of RPO's around that are almost full spec minus the factory race fitouts (ie: rollcage etc) and plus the options like air con etc... they sell for a good 70k+ now but 3 years ago you could still pick up a loaded one for 20k!.... fckn bs car prices.

[caliberracer]

i know that they went only went to phase 3 nut i have heard a rumor that a few phase 4s were put togeahter its not ignorance its just hoping to see a legend

[akvette]

Only 4 GTHO Phase 4's were ever built. With a couple of XY GTHO Phase 3's recently selling for over half a million dollars, it makes you wonder what one of these legendary Phase 4 cars is worth.

[caliberracer]

that sucks i thought it was gonna be an xy when i read the name

[XCGSV8]

Good tough old car! they don't make them like they used to!

[asusdragon]

Damn Goverment stoping ford from releasing this cars, back in the 70's Holden and Ford were both fighting for the most powerful and fastest V8 car, but when the acticle came out bout this GTHO phase4 the goverment said to both company that if these get released they would stop buying cars for the company (and seeing at the goverment is one of the biggest purchasers of cars) so a halt was put on the phase 4 and never released. quite a shame,

[antiwonggalonggalo]

it is stupid, coz they have better brakes, handle better in the wet, more money spent on design and handling features, like stock stabilizer bars etc...

a stock old car just doesnt compare to the muscle cars in drivability

[martymooseontheloose]

the best it just go's to show that ford was there to give it what the people wanted in the first place a true blue muscle car. the best!!!!!!

[Nicodemus1971]

What is so special about this car? It was never released, so therefore has no race history, by modern standards it is pretty crude. There are also plenty of hotted up XAs around with the same gear.

[4fuxake]

I love it. The saddest thing about though is that the remaining three cars aren't ever likely to be driven as intended because they've become so valuable.

[VanTerminatorX]

i think i just creamed in me pants

[showstoppahfromoz]

The 4th does still exist, its green and locked away in a shed by a private collector. It hasnt been seen in years.

[chris229508]

the car in mad max was a modified ford falcon , i saw it in a documentry about the film

[gtho4]

Thank you for putting this online. The "missing 4th" Phase 4 was written-off in a rally sometime in the mid-late 1970s. There are three and only three of them left; they're all sedans. Ford had the parts to build 200 of them, but stopped after those 4 were built. The parts and engines were used to build the XA Falcon GT (some of them were a Phase 4 in all but name). A Phase 3 was sold in Melbourne in the last week of March 2007 for $683,500. What's a Phase 4 worth?

[MrCriticOfAll]

i believe that the team boss of mclaren tried to buy 1 of these and couldnt because they are NOT FOR SALE these are museum peices and are classed as national tresures.

yep, they're not for sale. There's a rumour doing the roundsin Sydney that the owner of the only one that made it down the production line (it's the Calypso Green one) was offered $2.5m .. he kept the car (I would too).

Thank you for putting this online. The "missing 4th" Phase 4 was written-off in a rally sometime in the mid-late 1970s. There are three and only three of them left; they're all sedans. Ford had the parts to build 200 of them, but stopped after those 4 were built. The parts and engines were used to build the XA Falcon GT (some of them were a Phase 4 in all but name). A Phase 3 was sold in Melbourne in the last week of March 2007 for $683,500. What's a Phase 4 worth?
