I had a 1969 XW GT Falcon, Diamond White with black interior. I bought it for $2000 off a guy who had it under a tarp in his back yard which was next door to a house I was building... Sold to me as a GT look alike it wasn't until I got it home and started stripping it to repaint that I noticed the model number and rang Ford. Turned out I had a genuine GT that had the original auto swapped out for a 4sp top loader.

after rust repairs and repainting the XW I was in at Supercarz in Brissy looking at trading it in on the Street Machine "HQ for You" but the original winner has thrashed it so I was looking over a Yellow XYGTHO with black interior that was for sale at $15,000 (same price they wanted for the HQ) but would only offer me $5000 for my XW. Another customer heard I was interested in trading and offered me $7000 cash for it, sold it to him on the spot and went in and offered the yard $13,000 cash for the GTHO and drove away in it about an hour later. I traded the HO six months later on a SS A9X I found at a Holden dealer on the Moorooka Magic mile.... XW/XYGTHO were overrated as the A9X was a far superior car in every way.

currently have a 1944 wwii Ford GPW jeep sitting in my container at a mates place in Brisbane.
