From our AMCS archives, a 2011 video. Follow us on this in depth look at the legendary GTHO Phase 3 in this informative older video. These cars are even more special today in 2018, and we can still find you one, just give us a call! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I like the warning sticker next to the glove box. " CAUTION .Do not lower the windows at speeds in excess of 100 mph."
Thanks to the presenters. I enjoyed to hear about all the unique history and mystique around the famous GT HO.
Brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this & learning all about the GTHO!!! Thanks
god I love both ford and holden to think in australia we built such amazing cars.at 40 i am lucky to own a 2017 holden ssv ute my first v8 ever holy moly im addicted to v8 now
Beautiful car!
Amazing walk around and complete run down on this Y. Evene the history of the vehicle given by the new owner is exceptional . Thank you guys. You should do more of these COMPLETE RUN DOWNS on XW & XY GT's & HO's you get in.
Best muscle cars everrrrrr!!! That era was unmistakably the best for making solid thick beasty v8s and will never be matched!
Didn't realise 4 door taxis where muscle cars..
@@hoey3510 oooooo what a burn mick 😂😂
@@hoey3510 correct.
thats an amazing car
Its big and its beautiful and goes like a Bullitt
Thanks for your article. In addition I believe most cars that were Bathurst Specials 250 were made and they had to sell 200 to the Public and the 50 ended up at Bathurst with the only Mods. were Blueprinting and Balancing the motor. Didn't know they made 300.
Other - 36 Gallon Tank had a Ball inside which would block the Fuel from leaking in a roll over. I think they went with a larger 15" Wheel to give it longer legs down Conrod Straight.
What a Car with an unbeatable sound.
Only the last 100 of the 300 could be optioned. The Globes were homlogated in '72 following the supercar scare which left Ford without a series production race car.
Australia has fallen, there's to many restrictions in Australia and with so many restrictions it's impossible for Australia to grow.
Beautiful GTHO, I'm happy for you mate 👍.
281km/h 🤯 that's balls of steel.
That car would have had to have been mechanically perfect to hit those speeds and not crash.
changed from high output to handling option for the insurance companys.r/t charger 6packs did allright down straight a bit quick down 1/4 mile.(factory)
The restoration is spot on I would like to have the same people work on the car Holden spend top dollar
Loves that word - "homologate" LOL.
Wasn't there something about the tyres rubbing on the ball joints which prompted the change to the globe rims ?
My dad had one exactly the same as the one in this clip... he sold it in the late 70’s because it wasn’t suitable as a ‘family’ car. Safe to say I’m sure my dad holds deep down resentment, not only for having to sell it, but more so for the fact they’re worth over a million bucks today! Doh! Where’s Marty and Doc Brown when you need em? Lol 😂
A track Red XY GTHO Phase III sold for $1.3 Million in 2018
a great investment if you brought 1 brand new
overpriced 4 door taxis
Lucky duck
There is a PhaseIII in perth that has a factory FMX in it.. AUtomatic baby! ;P
congrats on getting front page of youtube creator on the rise
More of them today then back in 71 lol
Replicas
@@glennthorley9050replicas and rebodies
Anyone know the serial or production number of the John Goss Ph3 that ended up in NZ?
I think Rod is a Speedway Midget Team owner as well
It's got the wrong sump, that one is of an XA GTHO.
Is this still available?
Nice replica.
They were under rated they actually have 513 horsepower. Then you have the super Ford xy Falcon which has 615 horsepower with fuel injection
Hi this is Wally. If you load the gear stick you will destroy the Top loader $$$ .I hope this is helpful. Thank you Wally
Love the engine but the gearbox it's in a league of its own bolt on HP no need to change internals except for a bearing or to
Don't know why Ford Anglias are talked about, never a big volume seller in the few years they were sold here.
Perhaps he meant the Ford Cortina GT models than won Bathurst for three years in a row. 1963, 64 and 65. The XY only won in 1971.
Cortinas sold very well for a long period here. My estimate twenty times more than Anglias that never were the factory race cars here.
Even the HR Holden comparison is from four years and three models earlier.
The XY stands up well without distorted comparisons.
The Moffat GTHO’s did not do 175 mph, they were clocked at around 140 mph. Even in 1978 the Cobras only made it to 158 mph.
The fastest in '71 was 153 mph by a driver who's name I cannot recall but he wasn't a 'name' driver. Obviously the 6150 rev limiters were all disconnected.
The worlds fastest 4 dr sedan in 1971 was a Dodge Coronet 440, 727 ,3.23 sure grip police car
I'd very much doubt that - a 440 Charger was only a mid/low 14s quarter mile car at best from factory - 4 door Coronet police pack was significantly heavier so must have been significantly slower (Mopar fan/owner)
It's true the police package Dodge 4 Door had a higher top speed.
There were a few faster 4 door cars prior to 71 not to mention the cars that were not a package & could be optioned up with big motors & tall gears.
The XY is fast for what it is I give credit to this owner for saying it is one of the faster 4 door cars from the time.
I have always been told that "GTHO" stood for "GRAND TOURING HIGHEST OPTION"
I believe the HO part stands for "Handling option".
yes handling option. For insurance it was cheaper than High Output.
It was meant to be High Output, but the insurance premiums were too much so they changed it to Handling Option.
A family 5 seater, why are they such a big deal??
I had a XW ute, 351 Cleveland ,with everything,decals, superoo, Think it may have been a rare HO?? Let me know,just sayin'
The brakes on these car had a contain abstotos and copper and castiron
lately it seems like phase IV RPO's are all over the place, i thought only 4 were made, there must be close to 70 RPO's..what gives?
Two different things. 1 x Phase 4 and 3 race proto-types built in June '72. 250 x RPOs built in Aug '73. Broad difference in specs. Cheers.
Eat your heart out Holden ....
I’m a holden lover but these are hotter than hot. My dads mate had one of these and drove it a few times said you could do the speed limit in first gear
Awesome Cars my brother has one and on the Highway one night no other cars on the road, we were sitting on 100mph amazing feeling.
Nothing like a GTHO Phase 3. Go Ford.
@@hoey3510 lol 😂😂 how Old are you. Either young or couldn't afford one. 😂😂😂😂
i would never sell it no way.
The charger E49 is quicker to 100 mph and it's a six
victor petroff here we go again..blah blah mine is faster than yours😪😪😪
mick he I've heard over the years blah blah blah how good the ford ho is with little regonition for the charger well I'm sick of it the E49 is a great car a six so I will blah blah blah it deserves to be up there with the ho
victor petroff nothing wrong with e49 chargers.. they never got as much recogisition because of the tavo fuckwits in the valiant community who constantly refuse to see any value or pay market value for any valiant
victor petroff the valiant chargers never won Bathurst.... Maybe that's why the gtho has more recognition than the charger.
Aidan Lambert Chrysler was a small team and had no where near the money that ford put into its race team tho they didn't win Bathurst they got close a gallant effort considering the E38 to E49 had less time for development than the ford given more development and Money who knows but that doesn't take away how good the E49 is as a car people are now starting to realize it and are willing to pay big money for one
373 bhp my arse over 400 more like it
The V8 LJ XW-7 GTR Torana would of left a Phase 3 in its Wake.
@Frank. T
Harry Firth's HDT tested the Yellow LC HDT V8 Torana Prototype at the 1972 Easter Bathurst and Won, Tested at the AIR race track and Calder on the 14/4/1972. Unlike the Phase 4 was never tested on a Race Track at all. Harry was miles in front of Ford in Testing that is for sure.
@@666theninja The Torana was great because of how light it was, put all that LC gear into a Monaro, then compare it to this beast.
@@caratcranker5874 The Monaro was not up against the Phase 3 or Phase 4, the Torana was the New Weapon at Holden.
your just one eyed... thats all.. blah blah.. i like all old classics.. cant stand one eyed mentality..would rather listen to my dog
If 1972 wasn't wet and the phase4 was let loose on the mountain moffat would have eaten those torana's for lunch like he ate those monaro's in 71'.
Holden is a dead Brand!

^ PROOF YOU SHOULDNT IN BREED WITH YOUR COUSIN.. illiterate dropkick.
Has too many doors to be a muscle car.

Diamond White was the original factory colour.
