Have a look at this:

http://search.newsmotoring.news.com....2&make_id=FORD

or if you can't be bothered here is what it says:

FALCON XR8 97, factory chipped, p/ built for Jacques A Nasser, met burg, heart rims, w/grain+ lux, reg 02/04, $21, 950 Ph 0411 286 155

Is this BS or could this be true?

Wouldn't Nasser have been in the United States at that time? Or not long after anyway. Sounds like an interesting EL!

Nasser needed a car when he got back from the US to visit Oz.

Troutman · 08-06-2003, 00:14

That's a point. Well it should be a low km example then.

gadgetman · 08-06-2003, 00:15

That is true. There was a 1 off EL XR8 built for Nasser during one of his local visits and yes it was Regency Red

Barefoot · 08-06-2003, 00:18

wouldn't it be worth more than that then?

Christ, its only a Ford Falcon, not a Porsche.

Im suprised he wasn't putting around in a jag.

Barefoot · 08-06-2003, 02:51

its just the fact that its a one off from the factory really which make me think it should be worth more.

Ahh mate, its only my opinion, Ill probably eat my own words now, haha. I just don't get how some people can perceive extraordinary value from some "common assets", although some people seem to make a bit of money on licence plates for instance.

I dunno what special options it has, but I reckon in most cases you'd be pushing shit uphill with a pointy stick trying to get much extra value on it, beyond what you could account as standard factory options.
Personally: Built for Nasser = :wgaf:
