The final Falcon GT is a sellout – with a waiting list. Just days after details of the car were confirmed, all 550 cars – including 50 of them crossing the Tasman to New Zealand – were snapped up.

And there are some great stories about eager owners, including buyers who have demanded extra supplies of manual gearboxes and those asking for specific build numbers including 007, 017, 300, 302 and 351.

One collector with a stable of Falcon GTs and anniversar­y GTs – all build number 40 – has requested build 40 of the GT F sedan. An owner of a classic XY Falcon GT with the build number 75 has requested it again.

Another collector has bought a brand-new GT of every model since the EB Falcon and has one as his daily driver. He currently has 10 GTs, with most having build number 22 – so there is no surprise in what he wants next.

Ford says there has been an ‘amazing’ response to the final GT.

“The passion and enthusiasm being displayed by our customers for these vehicles is a reflection of the passion our design and engineerin­g team have brought to the table in developing and building these cars,” says Bob Graziano.
