Ford Falcon GT & GT-HO: The Total Performance Years captures the excitement that these powerful cars generated half a century ago. The XR Falcon GT literally broke the mould in Australia because nothing like it had ever been offered for sale to the general public off a showroom floor.

The Falcon GT simply got bigger, more powerful and ballsier from then on to the point where the XW and XY GT-HO’s were the fastest production four-door family sedans in the world. Who can forget that famous photograph in Wheels magazine where the big GT-HO was screaming down the Hume Highway at a tad over 140 miles per hour? It was the stuff of legends, Australian legends.

You want to know the differences between one model and the next? It’s in The Total Performance Years. You want to know who drove what car in a particular race and what the result was, you will find it in The Total Performance Years. It is by far the most comprehensive book on the history and achievements of the famous Australian Ford Falcon GT and GT-HOs ever published and will stand as a landmark book on the subject.
