The launch of the XT in March 1968 kept the Aussie muscle car alive. The XT was made even more potent and attractive and was now available in a range of colours, a step up from the XR that was only offered in GT Gold. New colours for the XT included, Springtime Yellow, GT Silver, Polar White, GT Gold, Candy Apple Red and Zircon Green Metallic. The XT interior was only availiable in one colour, black.
The Falcon XT was to be Ford’s answer to Holden’s two door coupe, the Monaro and the two would fight it out on the Bathurst race track for superiority. This was the real beginning of the Ford - Holden rivalry that still persists amongst the manufacturers today.
