Muscle Car Stables Listing

The story of the RPO 83 (Regular Production Order) Falcon GT is well known among muscle car enthusiasts. The GT Special, which was called RPO (Regular Production Option) 83, featured certain GTHO Phase 4 bits such as the 780 cfm Holley carburettor and the exhaust headers, but it did not have the camshaft and valve gear modifications of the Phase 4, or the special “finned” sump of that car. The result was a bit of extra power (about 330 bhp at 5400 rpm), most of which came in at the higher rev ranges, but the scope for race development was much greater than the standard GT’s. Some of the GT Specials featured four-wheel disc brakes, as did the last batch of normal XA GT’s, the advantages of these in racing being obvious.

With only 259 produced all together, RPO’s are amongst the rarest GT’s ever built!

This very special factory Falcon GT was ordered and sold new in Tasmania to a Doctor.  The Factory ordered drivetrain consisted of the 351 Cleveland engine producing (330bhp), 4 speed top loader transmission and 9 inch differential rear end.  It is finished in its factory paint code Z Wild Violet exterior with beige vinyl roof, making it one of only 8 built with that colour option.  The car comes complete with previous owner history. The car remains mainly unrestored and is a credit to it’s previous owners.

This marks a unique opportunity to purchase a true piece of Australian Muscle car history.  Rarely does an XA GT RPO 83 in wild violet become available, as in most cases they are held in large collections or museums.  This XA Falcon GT RPO 83 would make a perfect centerpiece for any collection, due to its extreme rarity and mainly un-restored condition.

The Cars plate codes are listed below:

Engine T – 351
Trans L – 4 Speed
Trim S – Saddle
Paint Z – Wild Violet
