1/18 Scale Diecast Cars

Late in 1970, Ford replaced the XW range with the new XY range. As with the XW, a GT was also released. By the first half of 1971, a GT-HO, the Phase III, was released.
This GT-HO was a true supercar and with a top speed of over 140mph was the fastest four door sedan in the world at the time. Approximately 300 XY GT-HO Phase III Falcons were produced. This new XY had more subtle side striping than the XW, but it lacked none of the aggressive look people had come to expect. A functional, as well as decorative, air-cleaner assembly with a scoop protruding through a hole in the bonnet was standard. Ultimately this scoop assembly would become known as a 'shaker'.
The driving lights, bonnet pins, bonnet blackouts and red wall tyres fitted to five slot or the five star rims, enhanced the car's appearance. The car was available in many colours and three trim colours, black, white and saddle.
As with the XW GT and the XY GT and previous GT-HOs, the Phase III had the top of the line interior with a centre console, a sports steering wheel and a sports dash with a 140mph speedometer and an 8000rpm tachometer.
The 351 cubic inch four barrel Cleveland engine was retained from the Phase II. Though the Phase II looked different from the Phase III, mechanically they were similar. The most significant engine improvement on the Phase III was the introduction of a full extractor exhaust system. A 780cfm Holley carburettor with a manual choke replaced the 750cfm Holley used on the Phase II. A few internal modifications to the Phase III allowed the engine to produce more horsepower.
The Phase III brakes were upgraded with the introduction of a brake vacuum reserve tank and new PBR front callipers. Not all the Phase III Falcons had the PBR callipers as standard, with many being fitted with the 'old' Kelsey Hayes type.
The XY was such a beautifully built car, with awesome power and handling to match.

Classic Carlectables Holden HQ Monaro GTS Coupe Russet (350ci Engine) 1/18 Scale Diecast.

New from the ground up and with the best of US and European design, Holden's design and engineering team delivered a new era in Australian made cars - the HQ. When the Monaro was released it was commended for it's eye-catching pillarless coupe roof line and its wrap-over rear window, the forward reaching front and deep grille looked to be devouring the road ahead. Holden's long experience with Australian conditions meant the design improvements didn't stop with exterior looks. New levels of structural strength and safety, rough road stability and grip and a totally new rear suspension.

Classic Carlectables Ford XA Falcon RPO83 Coupe Wild Plum 1/18 Scale Diecast.

Early in 1972 Ford released the XA GT Falcon in sedan and hardtop versions. It was the first Falcon to be totally designed by Australians, as production of the Falcon in the US had ceased some 18 months earlier. The XA was the biggest Falcon yet, with the boldest styling, designed for wider appeal with its less aggressive look and creature comforts.
Ford built 891 hardtops between July 1972 and September 1973, including the construction of 129 RPO83 coupes. The GT Specials - that's their official title - were Regular Production Option 83 on Ford's options list for Falcon GTs.
The biggest change on the RPO83 to the normal GT was the fitting of a huge 780cfm (cubic feet per minute) four barrel Holley carburettor and (hidden away under the V-banks) fabricated exhaust extractors. These added 30-40bhp to the existing 300bhp for much improved performance. Other changes included a modified sump with additional baffles and a manual choke. They used most of the bolt-on engine components intended for the Phase IV GT-HO - the 'Supercar' killed by political and public pressure before it went into production in 1972. The new model could run the quarter in the high 14s and had a top speed of around 140mph (225kph).

1:18 Scale Ford Mustang GT - DNA of Mustang Celebration Livery - Designed by Tristan Groves

Limited Edition Number: 240

Product Specifications: Die-cast model car with detailed interior and opening parts. Includes numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by Tristan Groves.

About This Product:

In 2019, the Ford Mustang GT made its return to racing in the Supercars Championship and its success was immediate.

After winning on debut at the Adelaide 500, the Mustang went on to race for four full time seasons by some of the biggest teams in the sport including Shell V-Power Racing Team and Tickford Racing who enjoyed the most success with the make.

From 2019 to 2022 the Mustang took the challenge right up to rival Holden teams, and in many cases, eclipsed them, winning 54 races, 181 podiums, 82 pole positions, 2 drivers championships and taking out the biggest race of all, the Bathurst 1000 in 2019. Star drivers to win races in the Mustang during that time included the dominant Scott McLaughlin who led the Mustang charge along with Cam Waters, Fabian Coulthard, Will Davison, Anton De Pasquale, Chaz Mostert, Jack Le Brocq and Alexandre Premat.

Authentic Collectables are proud to present this special collectable scale model, the DNA of Mustang Celebration Livery celebrates the racing achievements for the Mustang in the premier category of Australian motorsport, featuring a livery on this edition by renowned designer/illustrator Tristan Groves.

"When you think of Mustang the iconic pony badge and graphic imagery instantly comes to mind, so it makes total sense for the design of this celebration livery to be largely centred around a stylised pony which looks fast and aggressive" said Groves.

"That combined with the colour scheme, Ford / Ford Performance logos, the statistics and years on the roof with the winning drivers list on the boot make this a really special edition celebrating the Mustang in Supercars from 2019 to 2022, one I hope Ford Mustang fans will love adding to their collections".

The livery speaks for itself and as an added little nod to the storied history of the Mustang, we have decided to model the car using the originally approved for racing rear wing design featuring the larger end plates which was eventually updated later in 2019 and into 2020 due to category parity concerns.

Ford fans, this model shouldn't be missed.

This 1:18 scale model has been produced in high quality die-cast with detailed interior and fully opening parts in a limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the livery designer, Tristan Groves.
