Actually in total only 4 cars were built. Three were scheduled for the 1972 bathurst - one for Allan Moffat, one for Fred Gibson and one spare. All three were Brambles Red in colour, a shade close to Vermillion Fire as to be indistinguishable. The forth, by sublime contrast was Calypso Green. Its specification was more suggestive of a healthy optioned Fairmont than a purpose-built race car. But there was an even more significant distinction between this phase IV and the other three. Its compliance plate was stamped GTHO, why? Because this car was built on the Ford production line as HO, where the other three were standard GT's, plucked from that production line, transported to Ford Special Vehicles at Lot 6, Mahoneys Road to be transformed lovingly into race-ready GTHOs.
There has been no shorter production run in history . Just one Phase IV GTHO completed the due process at Ford's Broadmeadows assembly plant.

Info from "Car Australia" magazine December 1987.
