1997 Ford XH Falcon Ute – XR6

This would have to be one of the cleanest XH utes on the road today. Reluctantly offered for sale, this extremely tidy 1997 Falcon XR6 ute presents in excellent condition throughout and is ready to be enjoyed or admired as an Aussie classic. The seller is only the second owner, further adding to the car’s provenance.

A true standout, the XR6 was subject to a full bare metal respray just two years ago in a timeless British Racing Green, giving it a distinct and refined edge. The body is completely rust-free, a testament to its careful restoration and long-term ownership. The exterior is complemented by American Racing wheels, a new tonneau cover, and a rear blind — subtle touches that finish the ute off nicely without straying from its heritage.

Inside, the cabin has been fully renewed. The retrimmed bolstered seats make long trips a breeze, with driver input taken care of by the wooden three-piece SAAS steering wheel. The door trims and roof lining have also been replaced meaning that the inside of the XR6 is a very nice place to be.

The factory XR6 example is powered by the iconic 4.0L Tickford inline six paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission — delivering strong, reliable performance that made these utes a staple of the era. Mechanically, the engine has had a recent top end refresh, with nothing left to spend. And with only 181,313 on the odometer, there is plenty of life left in the straight six powerplant.
