One of the greatest of Australian muscle cars, the GTR XU-1 built its reputation with motorsport wins and quickly became a favourite with collectors.

This car came into the family selling it now, over 20 years ago, spending much of that time garaged, awaiting attention. The owner has had the car carefully checked over and is confident that it’s the real deal, not a replica XU-1. A well-known and respected expert has verified this for him. The numbers show the car was assembled in GMH’s Queensland plant. Other early history is unknown. The car has its original build plates.

Its original engine was sold many years ago and another, period correct motor (verified 1973) has been fitted, with the triple carburettors and other correct fitments.

The XU-1 was registered until 2009, then deregistered and has passed inspection this year, being re-licensed on club registration.

The car was repainted to a high standard over twenty years ago, but it has not been on the road for most of that time, so presents very well. The bright yellow suits the car particularly well.

Inside the car presents very well throughout. A modern sound system has been installed recently, with no holes cut in the rear parcel shelf for speakers. The original AM radio will be sold with the car also.

Under the bonnet, in the boot and underneath the car also present very well. New tyres are on correct alloy wheels which show no kerb damage.

Considerable work has been undertaken recently to bring the car up to its excellent standard. Almost $30,000 has been spent doing this work. Much of the work done by a highly regarded expert workshop in these cars. The car has been serviced and dyno tuned – it starts instantly and runs very well.

It’s not going to be a concours winner, but is a very impressive example, which gets a great deal of positive attention when out and about. And it’s realistically priced.

If sold to a Western Australian buyer, the number plates MUSTARD can go with the car.
