In their ongoing quest to steal the Bathurst crown back from Holden after their original Falcon win at The Great Race with the XR in 1967, Ford released a new Phase II version of their race-ready GT-HO homologation special in August 1970.

From the outside the Phase II looked very similar to the original GT-HO, except it now ran 14×6” 5 slot rims with chrome hubcaps. Inside there was a top of the line interior with a centre console, sports steering wheel and dash, radio, floor mats, door sill plates and door trims with faux wood grain and chrome accents.

Mechanically, the new 351 cubic-inch Cleveland engine that initially made its way into the last of the Phase Is (replacing the trusty Windsor) was enhanced with a larger carburettor. While officially-rated at 300bhp, the Cleveland had the potential for much more, with the true figure closer to 345bhp.

After the privately-entered original XW GT-HO of Bruce McPhee and Barry Mulholland came close with 2nd place at the 1969 Hardie-Ferodo, the new Phase II helped Allan Moffat claim his first Bathurst win in the 1970 race with McPhee again second, giving the Ford Works Team a 1-2 finish.
