Tough, iconic, and unmistakably Australian the XY Falcon has long been regarded as one of Fords most desirable classic platforms, and this beautifully restored 1971 XY Falcon 500 Utility is a perfect example of why.

With a restoration and build investment well into the $100,000 range, this ute represents an opportunity to secure a seriously high-quality example without the enormous cost, time, and effort involved in recreating one to this level today.

Finished in crisp white over a beautifully presented black interior, the vehicle has an incredible stance and presence that instantly takes you back to the golden era of Australian muscle and working-class performance culture.

The ute has undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration with an enormous amount of attention to detail throughout, including a bare metal repaint with cavities professionally rust protected to ensure the vehicle has been preserved properly for years to come.

Mechanically, the vehicle has also seen extensive work completed, including a fully rebuilt engine, rebuilt brakes, and rebuilt differential, creating a classic that not only presents exceptionally well but is equally enjoyable to drive.

Restoration highlights include:

Full nut and bolt restoration
Bare metal repaint
Rust protected cavities throughout
Fully rebuilt engine
New Upholstery
Rebuilt braking system
Rebuilt differential
New bonnet
New headlights
New bumpers
New windscreen

The presentation throughout the vehicle is outstanding, with the bodywork, trim, and overall finish reflecting the level of care and investment that has gone into the build.

XY Falcon utes continue to hold a special place in Australian and New Zealand Ford culture, with clean, properly restored examples becoming increasingly difficult to find especially vehicles finished to this standard.

A seriously eye-catching Australian classic finished to an incredibly high standard the hard work has been done, the money has been spent, and its now ready for the next owner to simply enjoy.
