The bulletin was short and to the point. The new model would be "a high performance vehicle especially suitable for trial and stock car racing but flexible enough and luxurious enough for normal car use. "It will be available in one colour "GT Gold" with charcoal trim, have a high-performance, 4 barrel, V8 with 225hp, a floor mounted manual transmission with synchromesh on all four speeds, special suspension, wider rimmed wheels, radial ply tyres and a 16:1 steering ratio with power steering "optional" The bulletin continued . . . The price was $3,890, including sales tax. The XR Falcon GT was an instant success and the 596 units built between March 1967 and February 1968 sold as quickly as they were built. It quickly established its credibility with a convincing 1-2 in the Bathurst 500-mile classic, Harry Firth and Fred Gibson taking the laurels.</P><BR> <A HREF="gt_frame.html">Click here</A> <A HREF="http://www.3dize.com/"><IMG SRC="t.gif" ALT="" WIDTH=5 HEIGHT=5 <img src="cgi-bin/counter/index.html"> BORDER=0></A> </BODY>
