    my uncle says he purchased a green xa gt phase 4 in hobart tasmania from the ford dealership, he only got it because he put a deposit down a week before release and subsequent ban. he sold it when my aunty became pregnant, (sooo stupid) he has photos of it, green with white interior, and the original purchase receipts.i have told him it must be an xb but he swears black and blue it was an xa.can you help put an end to this family feud, as i reckon his papers must be wrong. thanx

    Even rarer was the Bill Brown's (factory engineer i think) GT Falcon that had a 426 in it as an eval vehicle. I saw it once and it was a brute. It would light the tyres in three gears easilly. i saw him do it in Queenscliff Vic
