I wonder if the current owner of the calypso green GT phase 4 is registered or a regularly visitor on these forums. Buddy, if you do visit or is registered here, please post some thoughts of yours about this remarkable car. Thanks!

According to Roy he does lurk & check things out.
Have a read of the phase 4 in the classic Falcon aread, it's a good read!

cars such as this speak for themselves, owners don't need to say much just park them and walk away then let all the "experts" talk their ****. the unrestored prototype owned by paul carthew does the same thing. the owners of these cars understand the importance of their vehicles which ensures they will be around for a while yet. hopefully in the case of the phase 4 it will get to see more sunlight in the public eye.

If I had the money, and they were available, I would have this and the Bill Bourke XW sitting side by side in my shed.......

Hello Ford XA falcon GT HO PHASE 4 CALYPSO GREEN ...In 1974 my friends Brother bought the XA from a car dealer on Parramatta rd...Myself along with The owners brother Alex Spiteri. I sat in the back seat with Trevor and Sharon in the middle. And we went off looking for a friend that had a GTHO Blue ute.to give him a run The was in Georges Hall. We couldn't find my friend in the HO UTE. So I told Alex's brother about a quarter mile stretch of rd Harley Crs Condell Park. I t was about 5 pm.He lined it up and away we went Looking out the back you could see the pipes light up. As he changed Gears the body would go forward then slam you back into the seat. Before we new it 130 mph...One problem came up we ran out of road.. Harley was a P shaped Cres..Turning to the left on goes the brakes still no more road let. We hit the kerb right hand front wheel, then air bourne for about what felt like 50 ft. We where lucky the factories had not been built at the time. We stopped up right. Apart from Sh-tting our self's. And Sharon Fingernails cut into mine and Trevor's wrists we where all OK . Only damage to the XA GT was the drivers stub axle. We where able to get it back to Georges hall. Just as My other friend Drove by in his GTHO UTE. This is all fair dinkum I think he still owns it. As I remember him living near Botany Bay and I think he was a dentist. Your B W HALL

Does anyone know what the badge on the side is (above the obvious 351 GT)?

That isn't the Calypso Green XA GTHO Phase 4...Sorry.

Who owned the GTHO Ute? Santa Clause? Did it also shoot flames out the exhaust?

feel a bit sorry for you Brent, you picked a pretty tough section of the forum to make your first few posts, but you have made a few pretty big claims!

Maybe enjoy some other areas of ford forums first, then come back here, it is the pub after all...
