GT Colours by Number
The following statistics are supplied by Ford Australia based on the summary sheets of Falcon GT production. The XR figures are extrapolated from production numbers and known special colours. A lot of gaps exist in the recorded codes.

N.B. Not correctly recorded are a number of Brambles Red, Surfer Orange, and Vintage Burgundy etc. The HO 1.5 numbers are based on the March/ April production as opposed to the 50 figure which looks to be the post Bathurst December run of Phase 1 351’s.
