What years did they make the Falcon GT?
The Falcon GT was produced in two distinct bursts: the original Australian muscle‑car era spanning roughly 1967 to 1973, and a modern revival from the early 2000s to the mid‑2010s. In short, the iconic name appeared in two separate production windows: 1967–1973 and 2002–2016, with the GTHO Phase III standing out in 1971–1972.
Two eras of Falcon GT production
Original era (1967–1973)
The earliest Falcon GTs emerged in the late 1960s and continued into the early 1970s, becoming a benchmark for Australian performance. The period culminated with the legendary GTHO Phase III around 1971–72.

That era established the Falcon GT as a cultural touchstone of Australian motoring and set a high bar for performance V8s of its time.
Modern revival era (2002–2016)
The Falcon GT name was revived in the 2000s as part of Ford’s FPV performance lineup, spanning the BA, BF, FG and FGX generations. The Falcon line itself continued in Australia until 2016, with GT variants carried through this period.

During this revival, the GT badge carried forward the spirit of the original, blending modern technology with high‑performance V8 power until production of the Falcon ended in the mid‑2010s.
Summary
Across two major waves, the Falcon GT produced a lasting legacy: an original run from 1967 to 1973 highlighted by the GTHO Phase III (1971–72), and a later revival from 2002 to roughly 2016 that spanned the BA–BF–FG–FGX generations. Together, these years mark the full production span of the Falcon GT in Australian automotive history.
