PRELIMINARY AUCTION NOTICE: Private Classic & Collectable Car Collection Auction
Sunday 2nd March, 2025

Burns & Co are excited to have included into our January 2025 Classic & Collectable Car and Motorcycle Auction a piece of Australian motorsport history. This 1970 Ford XW Falcon GT-HO Phase II competed in the 1970 Hardie-Ferodo 500 at Mount Panorama being piloted by Kym Aunger and John Walker.

This sleek 1970 Ford XW Falcon GT-HO Phase II ran for 18 laps before unfortunately needing to retire from the race with bearing issues. Aunger won a touring car race in this car the following week at Mallala, setting a new series production lap record before the car was then laid up.

This car has been recognised by CAMS with a gold certificate of description, recognising its origin with full line of history and period correct mechanical specification and livery. Not easy to obtain, a Gold COD from CAMS includes a car having an unquestionable provenance and full details of prior ownership with no gaps or any unsubstantiated entries and original mechanical specifications.

2018 saw this beauty return to Bathurst, 48 years after its last one-off appearance, where it took part in the Heros & Legends Marquee as part of celebrations around the final year of Falcon competing in the historic race.

This is a very special car that we are sure is going to generate much interest. Keep an eye on the Burns & Co website and Facebook page for updates as the auction draws closer.

You can view photos and videos of the car here.
