2014 Ford Falcon FPV GT F 351
Explore 2014 Ford Falcon FPV GT F 351: history, specifications, rarity evidence and credited photography.
The FPV GT F 351 marked the final named GT sedan from Ford Performance Vehicles in Australia.
History and purpose
The FPV GT F 351 marked the final named GT sedan from Ford Performance Vehicles in Australia. Its complete announced programme comprised 550 cars, with 500 allocated to Australia and 50 to New Zealand. Original custodial documentation records that whole scope and the supercharged 5.0-litre V8. The 351 designation refers to the engine’s kilowatt rating and also recalls an older Falcon performance association; it must not be read as the modern engine’s displacement in cubic inches. This profile keeps the published programme figure separate from an independently reconciled manufacturing tally. It also excludes the separately named Pursuit utility and avoids splitting manual and automatic cars into artificial editions.
Design and engineering
The blue photographed sedan carries dark contrasting graphics and a substantial performance stance within a conventional four-door body. That combination is central to the GT F’s character: it presents a practical passenger format with deliberate factory performance identification. Its supercharged V8 belongs to the modern FPV engineering era, while the name and graphics connect it to a longer Falcon GT tradition. The image shows body and exterior equipment rather than a documented power measurement. A catalogue can explain the 351 kW factory designation without assigning an unseen engine build, a particular transmission or the auction car’s individual number to the photographed example.
Identifying the original configuration
Keep Falcon, FPV and GT F together in the identity record. GT, GT-P, F6 and GT F describe different factory subjects and should not share an interchangeable caption. A genuine GT F file should connect its numbered identification with factory records, then document paint, graphics, cabin and mechanical work. The licensed photograph identifies a 2014 GT-F sedan, while the linked auction account supplies original custodial context for the programme. The photographed car receives no invented build number. National allocations remain part of the same edition, so a New Zealand example does not become a separate 50-car manufacturing programme.
Collector context and preservation
For collectors, GT F is most useful as the complete farewell sedan programme rather than as an isolated registration year. Preserve delivery material and service history beside clear whole-car and identification photographs. If graphics or mechanical parts have changed, record those events with dates rather than replacing the original programme description. The model’s published 550-car scope is evidence about its initial scale, not a statement about survival or present condition. A collection can place it beside other final factory performance editions while still explaining what belongs specifically to this Australian sedan and what belongs to Ford’s broader GT history.
Reading the evidence for this profile
The original source links below identify the programme and the historical statements used in this article. The photograph has its own creator and licence record, separate from the manufacturer’s vehicle history. Keep both when transferring this profile into a collection catalogue. A manufacturing tally describes how many cars belong to a defined original programme; it does not measure how many survive, how many are publicly visible, or how many retain all their original components. Those individual questions require dated chassis and restoration evidence. The reference year likewise describes the programme’s introduction or named historic configuration, while the supplied caption states the photographed setting and any established individual identity. This lets future research expand the car’s history without blurring the scope of the record already assembled here.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ford Falcon FPV GT F 351?
The complete original FPV GT F 351 sedan edition across Australia and New Zealand, not a 500-car national subset, a Pursuit utility or a 351-cubic-inch engine model.
What engineering defines this Ford?
Supercharged 5.0-litre Miami V8, rated 351 kW. Rear-wheel drive; six-speed manual or automatic. These are the documented programme or preserved-concept specifications. Connect an individual vehicle’s installed components to its own dated records before assigning a factory configuration to that particular example.
Why is 2014 the reference year?
It identifies the introduction or original historical configuration described in this article. The photograph can show a later example or a later display of the original subject. The source inventory’s original heading remains an identity alias wherever the date or model name has been corrected.
How should an individual Falcon FPV GT F 351 be documented?
Start with the chassis identity and connect it to dated construction, registration or custodial records. Keep exterior, interior, engine and underbody photographs together. Record changes to finish, equipment and mechanical specification as separate events, so the physical car’s history can grow without changing the definition of the original programme.
What rarity or archive scope is verified?
Complete original FPV GT F sedan programme: published 550-car figure, combining 500 Australian and 50 New Zealand customer allocations. Exact completed tally unconfirmed. The separately named Pursuit utility is excluded; no transmission or national subset is treated as its own programme.
