STAMPING SEARCH

THE  FORD FALCON XY GT & THE X NUMBERED 351C  The real eye opener  was Harry's ULTRA WHITE non HO  1971 built XY GT FALCON.. Making contact with Harry owner of the Ultra white XY GT at the Monbulk cars show years back  during the  focus on INTERCEPTOR search  was Harry's car on display with a boast board of the engines top speed thru the gears well it was the first time I saw  the stated top speed thru the gears besides motor magazines  They were not far different from the  Police variant XA 351 FALCON GT car it was then that Harry mentioned the engine was an X engine we both looked around and could see and X stamp  I did take photos but nothing like an X  seemed to be visible, Someone contacted  us on the Facebook group and wanted to know about the X engines and sent a photo  of her friends XY GT to my surprise  on describing the car I realized I had seen the car as it was a friend of Harry's  clearly the X stamp was there and I rechecked my photo it was still hard to make the stamping out I realize that one has to look carefully through different light to see the X stamp  So the search was on to look in that position on non GT-HOs 

THE NEW FORD FALCON XA  Lets us begin with the 1971 December built XA GT FALCON PILOT CAR .. Making contact with the owner ended many years of INTERCEPTOR searching. This was a FORD 3999 Press car stories  and photos of this GT were used in GTHO PHASE 4 magazines lets find out more
