How Just One Man Destroyed Australia's Greatest Muscle Car
How Just One Man Destroyed Australia's Greatest Muscle Car On 3 October 1971, Allan Moffat crossed the Mount Panorama finish line in a Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III. The car wasn't just a sedan. It was the fastest four-door production car in the world, the machine every Australian tradesman dreamed of parking in his driveway. Three hundred were built. All sold. But on 24 June 1972, Sun-Herald motoring editor Evan Green phoned NSW Transport Minister Milton Morris. Morris gave him five words: "They will be bullets on wheels." Three days later, Ford MD Brian Inglis shelved the Phase IV. Four prototypes sat unfinished on the Broadmeadows factory floor. Today, one of those four sells at Shannons for over two million dollars. This is the story of how a phone call killed a car, and what that says about moral panic in Australia. This is not just the story of a shelved muscle car. It's the story of the demand that became a ban without ever being one. #GTHOPhaseIV #FordFalconGTHO #AbandonedFactories #LostFactories #IndustrialDecline #AustralianManufacturing
