$55,000 seems like a crazy price if you ask me. I called him and he tells me it is without a doubt the most immaculate of its kind available anywhere in Australia.
There are a few other 500 coupes on carsales at the moment for what seems like huge money as well. Did I miss something in the last week? Were they declared a national treasure or something while I was sleeping? I mean I love coupes and all but some of the prices I have seen lately have been huge!
Nice car! A neighbour of mine has the same colour RPO 83 sedan in as good condition, and occaisionally he leaves it out the front so I can have a perve. His has the CORRECT Globe wheels on it as well. I have exactly that same coupe in 1:18 scale!!:shrug:
OK, so it's a lovely XA coupe - no doubt about it. But as my countrymen might say, old Les there is "'avin' a giraffe" at that price! That's silly money - I'd want it perfect, original and brand new right down to the rocker cover bolts for that money.
It is not just a coupe, it's a GT !!! that makes it a national treasure, and it's worth what ever someone is willing to pay for it, they havn't made them for a long time, and one in that condition is rare, i have seen a similar XA GT Coupe for 75k, but it was an RPO.
It is a GT, people.. 1 of 55 with less than 100000miles on it.. Might be alot of money to some of us but a collector will snap it up reguardless of price, if someone wants to add a XA GT to their stable the $$ is irrelevant..
i know of 2 rpos sold at around 60k, full concourse condition rebuilds... some of you may know of them..... I would have bought them WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before this one.
I know of a very nice coupe at 29k now... and it's had big $$ spent and is just waiting for a buyer... red pepper.
Exactly, it would be a much better deal if supplied original without any sick modifications. There is no way that car is as desirable as an XW-XY GT in terms of being a collectable.
Seriously the XA-XC series coupe market is like the Sydney housing market with people losing their grip on reality.
But in this case if someone buys it for $55K then it obviously is worth it to them.
have another look at this car. this car needs a bit of work and parts to restore to standard. for that sort of money i'd expect it to be as it rolled out the factory:1poke:
just another greedy owner on the gt gravy train :thdn:
Amen! The guy will possibly get that kinda money for the car but he is fooling himself if he thinks a Yank will buy it for that kinda money. I've beat this dead horse before but sellers have to understand that there is no history to a Falcon GT in the US OR Canada. A Falcon GT doesn't ring any bells or tug at anyones fond memories of riding in their dad's Falcon GT cause we never had them! The only thing a "Yank" recognizes is the MM profile of the car. That's it. For US$45,000+ I could get a very nice Mach 1 or a pretty damn good Boss 302 (and a non-original but no rust Boss 429). Heck, a friend of mine just put a deposit on a 1967 Corvette convertible with a big block and a/c. Total price was US$42,000 and this car is a show car that has won in the concours class. US$40K and up buys a helluva lot of muscle car over here and a MM fan is only going to buy the least expensive car he can get because he is going to have to spend another US$6000+ just to ship the thing to a US port.
Maybe this is the famous, never seen Ph4 "Dentist" machine? and as the only one done and with the Ph4 HO markings it would be a steal.
if it is NOT ,...well then......

The dentist machine is a sedan. If he's chopped the rear doors out of it to make a hardtop he'll have thousands of angry people to answer to
