FEBRUARY 1996 FORD XA FALCON GT RPO83

The XA GT RPO83 provided a glimpse of what might have been had the Phase IV GTHO survived. Regular Production Option 83 XAs had the massive 780cfm Holley carb as fitted to HOs plus extractor exhausts and some cars were supplied with disc-brake rear ends that would become standard with the XB model. Only 20 sedans were built in Yellow Glow and this one with its optional Globe wheels looks very tidy. Five years ago the value would have topped six figures for an excellent return on outlay.

SINCE THEN: These cars are the closest living relatives to the revered G THO Phase IV and potentially worth far more money than the market currently offers. Watch for continuedgrowth.
