The Australian Falcon's most interesting versions, the iconic GT, GS and F6 models, are now fully completed at Ford's in-house facility, according to the company Youtube video press release.

"Ford Performance Vehicle assembly has moved in-house to Ford's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. Still built by hand, to FPV's exacting standards, the GT, GS and F6 range are now fully Ford-built. The last GT to leave the Broadmeadows Assembly Plant was in 1976 and in 2013, GTs are fully completed at the plant again. The iconic GT has come home," Ford of Australia stated.

While Ford Performance Vehicles is no longer an independent manufacturer since December 2012, their cars continue to be traditionally hand built.
