1971 Ford Falcon XY 500 Sedan. Ultra-Rare RSL Cabs Heritage Vehicle. RSL3 No Plate
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity to Own a Genuine Piece of Sydney History
Step back in time with this exceptionally rare 1971 Ford Falcon XY 500 Sedan (Auto – 3-Speed – 250ci), finished in its unmistakable original baby blue with the iconic red bonnet and boot — a true period-correct RSL Cabs colour scheme.
This example is one of the very few surviving XY Falcons to have served with RSL Cabs in Sydney, making it an incredibly desirable collectible for Ford enthusiasts, taxi-history collectors, and investors wanting an appreciating Australian classic.
This is the third XY Falcon known to have been owned by RSL Cabs, and its authenticity, originality, and provenance set it apart from almost anything else on the market today.
Key Features & Highlights
• Authentic 1971 Ford Falcon XY 500 Sedan
• Factory 250ci 6-Cylinder – smooth, reliable and correct for the model
• 3-Speed Automatic – classic XY driving feel
• Original RSL Cabs Livery – baby blue exterior with red bonnet & boot
• Rare – Only a handful of ex-RSL XY examples known to exist
• Outstanding Historical Provenance – verified RSL Cabs ownership
• Body and paint present in genuine period condition
• Ideal restoration candidate or preservation-class collector piece
• Aussie icon – XY Falcons are rapidly appreciating in value
Heritage & Provenance
This Falcon isn’t just another XY — it’s a cultural artefact. RSL Cabs vehicles were known for their strict maintenance schedules and extensive service records.
Surviving examples are extremely uncommon, and those retaining their original taxi colour scheme are almost unheard of today.
The vehicle’s striking baby blue paint paired with the red bonnet and boot immediately signals its Sydney taxi heritage, making it a conversation starter and showpiece for collectors.
A Collector’s Dream
Whether you choose to:
• preserve it in its original RSL Cabs presentation,
• restore it to concours condition, or
• showcase it as a historically significant Australian sedan,
This XY offers exceptional potential and is guaranteed to draw interest wherever it goes.
Why This XY Stands Out
The Ford Falcon XY has achieved legendary status in the Australian car market, with performance models becoming multi-six-figure icons.
Period-correct base and mid-spec variants with real history are now being recognised for their importance, and taxi-fleet examples, especially RSL-owned vehicles, are among the rarest survivors.
This car represents:
• True Aussie heritage
• Authentic taxi industry history
• A unique colour combination tied to a specific fleet
• A limited-supply opportunity for serious collectors

Opportunities like this do not come around often.
