Is that an FGX colour?
Looks great with the black stripes. I saw a blue GTF with white stripes and I'm not sure the combo worked.

You think Ford could have thrown in the interior boot lid trim for these. I find that shocking to look at every time I open our boot. It just enforces the whole downmarket reputation that the Falcon seems to have now. The same goes for the loose carpet that lines the boot.
Anyway, I'm not trying to bring the thread down. It looks great other than that!!! |

naddis01 I assumed they had not put one on yet, I think they should have got one standard. Helps to stop it sounding like a garden shed every time you close the boot haha.

Interior looks like normal GT seats from the head rests.
Console also looks standard, I believe he has a custom plenum cover.

The first ever Ford Falcon GT was Gold with Black stripes and the Last ever Ford FPV GT-F is Gold and Black Stripes!
Great combo history in the making.

Nah man, I like that gold, but I think I still would've picked Octane even if the Victory Gold was an option.

Well done mate, in time you can be one of those that can tell the tale to your grand children and they can be proud that a family member once worked on the GT Falcon’s and the last one at that.

very nice , however disappointing that it is not a colour that was offered to the rest up us. I got white and wanted a gold stripe but was told no options available. saw on fb white with gold stripe and sunroof(owner stated that he used to work for ford and got stripe he wanted ). What next will they offer a ford gt in the fx series and say oh no they were the last ever fpv gts

Well they deserve it....certainly will go down in history as the rarest Falcon surely....maybe Bill Bourke's car being the other exception.

Man how tempting (even though you would get in trouble) would it have been to leave just a little bit of rubber on the way out.
