The XA GS had Rally stripes that ran from the front indicators to the middle of the rear doors. It also shared many options as used on the GT Falcon, such as the 12 slot steel wheels with plain brushed centre caps, the three spoke, deep dished wooden rimmed steering wheel with rim squeeze horn and full GT dash instrumentation featuring speedometer, tachometer, odometer, oil pressure, water temperature and fuel gauges as standard. For the first time the GS model range was also available as a two door hardtop and was also offered as an option on utes and panel vans. A 260 hp (190 kW) two barrel version of the 5.8 L (351 cu in) Cleveland V8 was also available as an option on the GS sedans only. The GS could also be fitted with the Option 56 ‘driving lights’ grille which was standard on the GT, however, the GT bonnet with NACA style ducts was not available as an option on the XA GS.[1]
