Chicane Auctions is proud to offer this 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT Tribute Ute — a striking example finished in brilliant Red Pepper and GT styling, complemented by a matte black flat tonneau cover. Sitting strong on Street Pro wheels, this tough Aussie ute captures the unmistakable spirit of a modified “you beaut” V8 GT ute, with a clean, muscular stance that’s guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes.
DRIVELINE Beneath the bonnet sits a healthy 351ci Cleveland V8, paired with a FMX automatic transmission delivering power to a 9-inch differential equipped with a Trutrac limited-slip centre. Power steering enhances drivability, while a large GT-spec radiator ensures the big Cleveland stays cool even in Australia’s harshest conditions. The engine bay is immaculately presented with correct GT-inspired detailing, offering an authentic and visually striking appearance. Performance is further elevated by renewed suspension, featuring a heavy-duty front sway bar and Koni shock absorbers. Together, they provide the car with a purposeful GT stance and sharpened handling on the road.
EXTERIOR This Tribute boasts a complete XA GT-style front end, including the signature GT bonnet with twin NACA ducts, GT guards with integrated indicator repeaters, GT grille, genuine GT driving lights, and a front spoiler — all combining to deliver an unmistakably aggressive GT look. Finished in brilliant Red Pepper with gloss black GT striping, the bodywork gleams with showroom-level presentation. Riding on Street Pro wheels, the ute commands an ideal street muscle presence. Importantly, it was built on a corrosion-free, non-worked country car, ensuring the utility tub remains in exceptional, undented condition — a testament to the quality of the base vehicle chosen for this build.
INTERIOR Inside, the cabin has been carefully restored with factory-style W2-code white vinyl trimmed with black inserts. The seats, door cards, and interior details present beautifully, complemented by a perforated white roof lining that enhances the authentic GT-inspired atmosphere. Overall, the interior reflects the same meticulous attention to detail seen throughout the build, blending comfort with classic appeal.
SUMMARY This 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT Tribute Ute represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a superbly crafted, high-quality Aussie muscle ute. With the right visual impact, a strong and authentic driveline, meticulous detailing, and a corrosion-free foundation, this Tribute is ready to turn heads — whether at a car show or on a weekend cruise. A very cool ute.
