Looks so much more French doesn't it? Those steel wheels are also basic, yet so delightful in their own right. Certainly the nicer of the two.

After being held up at Durham due to a westbound Piedmont service train hitting several downed trees near Cary, Amtrak/NCDOT's eastbound Carolinian No. 80 is now an hour and a half late as she departs the Selma station led by AMTK P42DC No. 108 wearing the intermediate Phase VI livery from Amtrak's 50th anniversary.

Yes, they had a model with a Star Trek uniform on :)
Phase One were kind enough to lend me one of their cameras for a few projects. This was shot with an IQ160 which is of course, an absolutely outstanding piece of equipment.
The Ford XY Falcon GT is an Australian built car based on the Ford XY Falcon. Released in 1970 with the GTHO Phase III released in 1971. 1,557 units were produced from September 1970 to December 1971 with 300 GTHO Phase IIIs produced from May 1971 to November 1971. It was the fourth in the initial series of Ford Falcon GT muscle cars. A limited number were exported to South Africa, wearing Fairmont GT badging. This model is starting to increase in value as genuine GTs become harder to find.
With the rev limiter disabled it was capable of 228 kilometres per hour (142 mph) and would pull 7,000+ rpm in 4th gear. The rev limiter was set to 6,150 rpm. [not as ex factory/production then]

GTHO Phase III
The Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III was built for homologation, it looked almost identical to the GT. The modified version the Falcon GT built in 1971 with a heavily upgraded engine, a 4 speed top-loader gearbox and Detroit locker 9" differential. It was also equipped with special brakes and handling package, plus a 36 imperial gallons (164 litres) fuel tank.
Winner of the 1971 Bathurst 500, driven by Allan Moffat, the Phase III has been described as "...simply one of the best cars in the world, a true GT that could take on Ferraris and Astons on their own terms..." by Sports Car World.
The GTHO's 351 Cleveland engine output was understated as 300 bhp (224 kW) to satisfy insurers. It is generally accepted to produce in the region of 350-380 bhp (265 kW -283 kW). Initial cars were equipped with an electrical rev limiter which came into effect at 6,150 rpm. With the rev limiter disabled, the engine was reputed to pull in excess of 7,000 rpm, even in 4th gear. The Phase III GTHO was Australia's fastest four-door production car.
Performance:
Top Speed: 228 km/h (142 mph) @ 6150rpm 0 - 60 mph - 8.4 seconds 0 – 100 km - 8.9 seconds Standing 1/4 mile (400m) - 15.4 seconds
Value
The Phase III GTHO is in incredibly high demand with collectors and investors. Good examples have been sold for prices in excess of A$700,000. Due to this demand, a small production run, and 'fewer than 100 remaining' there been a flow on effect into values of the lesser XW and other XY Falcons, particularly genuine GS and 'standard' GT models. Other models that have also benefited from the appreciation of the GTHO include the XA and XB GT hardtops, the earlier XW GTHO Phase 1 and 2 and the XC Cobra.
A Falcon XY GTHO Phase III was sold at by Bonhams & Goodmans at auction for A$683,650 in March 2007. The car had only 40,000 km on the clock. The buyer of the car said it will be garaged, and that it won't be driven, but that he will be "keeping it as an investment". The sale price set a new auction record for Australian muscle cars. Whilst in June 2007 another Phase III sold for A$750,000. Shannons national auctions manager Christophe Boribon blames the global financial crisis for the collapse in values. "We reached an artificial high a couple of years ago but then the GFC hit. Now it is back to reality, " he said. "There is only a limited number of buyers out there for a car like that. "The car is a very rare car. The car is the holy grail of Australian muscle cars."Falcon GTHO Phase III
Price new 1971: $5300 Value 2007: $683,500 Value 2008: close to $1 million Value 2010: $331, 000
The Phase III GT is one of the few cars ever made that appreciated in value from the moment it left the dealership - even in 1975, four-year-old Phase IIIs were fetching prices equivalent to or higher than the on-road price of brand new XB GTs from Ford dealers.
Successor to the GTHO Phase III
In 1972, the XY series Falcon was replaced by the XA Falcon range. Production of approximately 200 XA-based Falcon GT-HO Phase IV cars was originally scheduled to take place in June/July 1972, but this was terminated at 'the eleventh hour' due to what became known as "The Supercar scare". The Sun-Herald newspaper had run this as a front page lead article (with banner headline in large capital letters) on Sunday 25 June 1972: "160mph 'Super Cars' Soon". (not) A copy of that front page is shown at the start of a Phase IV documentary.
Only one vehicle had been completed when production was cancelled. Three standard GTs were also at various stages of conversion into GT-HO race cars for the Bathurst 500 in October 1972. These four vehicles were later sold to specific individuals and/or dealers by Ford Australia. The Phase IV was never officially released.

i am the red in the rose,
the flowers on the blankets on your bedroom floor.
and i am the gray in the ghost that hides with your clothes,
behind your closet door.
i am the green in the grass that bends back from underneath your feet.
and i am the blue in your back alley view,
where the horizon and the rooftops meet.
if you cut me,
i suppose i would bleed,
the colors of the evening stars.
you can go anywhere you wish,
'cause i'll be there,
wherever you are.
i will always be your keys,
when we are lost in the technicolor phase.
i am the black in the book,
the letters on the pages that you memorize.
and i am the orange,
in the overcast of color that you visualize.
i am the white in the walls that soak up
all the sound,
when you cannot sleep.
and i am the peach in the starfish on the beach,
that wish the harbor wasn't quite so deep.
if you cut me,
i suppose i would bleed the colors,
of the evening stars, my darling.
you can go anywhere you wish,
'cause i'll be there,
wherever you are,
my darling,
wherever you are.
god, i love this song.
In my Alexandria Virginia Studio with Emma and Caitlin.

A picture from circa 1967. Walsall Corporation, Sunbeam trolleybuses 337 and 336, and Guy Arab II motorbus 210, parked up at the back of Birchills Depot after withdrawal from Traffic. 336 and 337 had been taken out of service in 1966, and had slowly been cannibalised for spare parts for other similar trolleybuses. For reasons unknown, 336 was never repainted out of its 1950s two-tone blue livery, and is just about evident from this under-exposed view.
210, was one of the ten Wartime Guy Arabs that had been rebodied by Willowbrook of Loughborough in 1953, the original wartime utility bodies on these buses being in a poor state of repair and in need of replacement. All three of these buses had been sold for scrap prior to the WMPTE takeover in October 1969.
