The GT started life as a Limited Edition, but demand was so strong that more GTs were built. The last XR was assembled in February of 1968. The GTs future as a model in its own right was assured.
The launch of the XT in March 1968 kept the Aussie muscle car alive. The XT was made even more potent and attractive and was now available in a range of colours, a step up from the XR that was only offered in GT Gold. New colours for the XT included, Springtime Yellow, GT Silver, Polar White, GT Gold, Candy Apple Red and Zircon Green Metallic. The XT interior was only availiable in one colour, black.
The Falcon XT was to be Ford’s answer to Holden’s two door coupe, the Monaro and the two would fight it out on the Bathurst race track for superiority. This was the real beginning of the Ford - Holden rivalry that still persists amongst the manufacturers today.
