Have you ever wondered how rare your Falcon GT is? Perhaps you've pondered which Ford dealership it was sold new from? Or maybe what particular options it was ordered with?

Now you can find out all this and more, with an ACCHS report (pronounced ‘axe’ – short for Australian Classic Car History Services Pty Ltd).

Whether you already own a Falcon GT, or are in the market to buy one, then do yourself a favour and get one of these - they're like a birth certificate for your pride and joy. 

“An ACCHS report is the best way to verify a Falcon GT,” says racing legend Allan Moffat.

As the keepers of the flame, Australian Classic Car History Services provides a detailed certificate outlining a Falcon GT’s production specs sourced from the official factory production records, similar to the Marti Reports available for the Ford Mustang in the US.

The ACCHS report shows detailed information such as options and relevant statistical data, including how many other Falcon GTs were built just like it.

For example, your car may be one of many built in a particular colour, but one of only a few built with the same colour and trim combination. The report will also show how many other GTs the Ford dealership sold besides yours.

“The best way to find out how rare a Falcon GT is with an ACCHS report,” says GT Historian, Mark Barraclough, who started this service in 2012. “At this stage we provide reports for the Falcon GT and XC Cobra hardtops, but we’re working on other popular models which we’ll be announcing soon.

“Finally, enthusiasts can find out all the information on their car’s production history, it’s the perfect way to add value to your Falcon GT when on display at car shows.” In short, an ACCHS report is a birth certificate for your Falcon GT, which verifies its production history. 

A Deluxe ACCHS Report is $99.00. Visit ACCHS for more information.

Spotting chrome bumpered classics from the back seat of a 1978 Toyota Corolla as a child, his knowledge grew from basic brands and models to more details and specifications as a teen. He began buying and collecting magazines, reading them cover to cover absorbing as much information as possible. Primarily following local motor racing – and the cars they were built from, Aaron would watch the Bathurst 1000 coverage each year from start to finish. With a broad passion for all classic cars, his specialty is locally built and assembled muscle cars, whilst keeping an eye on the oddballs. Hunting for old cars and the stories surrounding them is a lifelong obsession, often finding them in the most unusual places or via the most unusual people.
