The GTHO Register - Book Series
Sub-Editing, Design Consulting, Proof Reading
Officially licensed by the Ford Motor Company, this book series celebrates the Falcon GTHO. Jam-packed with everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the Falcon GTHO, even the exclusive top-secret Ford GTHO factory production records are revealed for the first time ever. Inside each reference book you’ll find the build specification details for every single Falcon GTHO built, including each car’s paint colour and trim combination, the factory options each was fitted with, the final assembly and retailed dates, unusual build anomalies and one-off Falcon GTHOs. Turning each page is like watching a kaleidoscope of GTHOs on the production line, as each files past one by one.
The first book released was an instant sell out, focused on the XY Falcon GTHO Phase III.
Subsequent books for the XW GTHO Phase 1.5 and XW GTHO Phase 2 have been produced, with another currently being assembled for the XW GTHO Phase 1.
The first copy of the 1971 Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III Black Edition book – signed by racing legend Allan Moffat – was sold for a record sum of $16,000 to raise money for Dementia Australia. Surely, a record price for a book written and published in Australia, and no doubt the most ever paid for a book about old Australian cars!

The latest project has been the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GTHO Phase IV register, and 1978 Ford Falcon XC Cobra Hardtop Register. Both books are available to pre-order via this link, for a limited time only. Once they are sold out (just like all of the others in this series) you will not be able to buy them or add them to your collection!
