My car isn't listed but I still want an ACCHS Report, how can I get one?
We can only provide details for vehicles that were recorded on the factory production data register. From time to time, we have encountered the odd 'phantom' car which isn't recorded but fits into the production sequence. Unfortunately, the information we have is limited and there may be no way of verifying a 'phantom' car however we will endeavor to pursue every avenue available to us to investigate this for you.
How can I be sure the information you provide me with is accurate?
The details we provide you for your vehicle enquiry is sourced from official factory production data at the time of manufacture. The records are considered accurate in most cases, however there may be the occasional factory anomaly.

My Falcon XW GT is a rare color (Surfer Orange) with only a few known to exist however the ACCHS report states it is 1 of 115, how is this so?
There are certain colors like Surfer Orange and Brambles Red that were designated fleet colors when the car was ordered. The official factory production records will either have the fleet color recorded or as in most cases, the color code was left blank on these records. ACCHS can only inform you of how many fleet colors were ordered combined, without providing the exact number of a particular color as this information is not available.
Will the ACCHS Report add value to my car?
An ACCHS Report may add an intrinsic value to your vehicle, depending on how unique your vehicle is; it's engine, transmission, color and trim combination; and how many other were made just like it. Shannons Auctions order an ACCHS report for every Falcon GT they offer for sale, as it helps to reinforce a potential sale of the vehicle.
Why does ACCHS have limited information on the 1967 Ford Falcon XR GT?
Official Ford records started for car sales on or after 1st January 1968 (not build date) and the ACCHS records for XR GT's may be limited (no dealer or option details - STANDARD REPORT) if the sales date was prior to 1968.
Why is the I.D. plate image on the ACCHS Report not specific to each model?
We have selected only (3) three different styles of I.D. plate images for the ACCHS Reports which are the small data tag for all Falcon GT's built between 1967-69 (XR/XT and early XW GT models), the large I.D. tag image for all Falcon GT's built from 1970-1972 (late XW, XY and early XA GT models), and the twin I.D. tag image which is generic to all Falcon GT's built from 1973-1976 (late XA and all XB GT models). These (3) three different I.D. tag images represent each model generically rather than specifically.
