$40,000 ............... sheesh.

I havent seen the car so cant comment - but that does seem a hefty price on it.

But hey - it might well be worth that.

It seemed ok from my very limited knowledge, has a few spots here and there that need fixing up (bit of rust by the look of it under the chrome strip area around the window - passenger side), also what looks like a bit of a stress fracture type thing (similar to what my car has) on the rear end near the tail lights. Interior needs just a little tlc (IMHO) and the engine bay was a bit ho hum but you get that from a car sitting.

It has a story behind it also, apparently belonged to the guy that used to own Bryan Byrtt (spelling could be wrong) Ford many moons ago and had this car as a donor car for his coupe but his daughter got him to restore it in 1997 (so paint is apparently 10 years old).
That is about as much of the whole story thing that I remember

Basically a good looking machine but unsure about the price personally, but then I guess people who want it desperately are willing to pay those sorts of prices, maybe it is truly worth that... seriously no idea

40K for an XC Yipes!

Used to be able to get a good second hand one for approx $8000.00 back in 1980 lol

Who would bother with one these days, may as well buy a New XR6 Turbo.

Wow! For that price i would expect the paint/interior to be pretty flash-spending $20000 tidying up paint and interior and engine bay is pretty realistic bringing the coupe up to a $60,000 car......It'd want to be a Landau for that money!! :

Cheers Fiery for the info - great work.

And look like every other ba/f driver on the roads

$40k doesn't surprise me from a caryard.

If I was able to afford it, I reckon I wouldn't mind buying it :

[loony888]

$40K for the XC, I'd expect it to be pristine for that money.

[banarcus]

What about a Landau thats in parts(no motor, gearbox or diff) and primer almost complete for $1k? Does this sound reasonable?

[savagE]

If its a Coupe then Hell yeah.

Nah, there was a mint Landau on ebay a few months ago, gold colour, didnt get near that, only around $28k if I recall. One owner, well looked after, according to the blurb anyway. Looked it though, paint and interior looked flawless.

[Neeek]

This one, right?

http://www.autotrader.com.au/iteminf...ubs_Used+Cars_

I've passed by it a couple of times on the way to somewhere else and often wondered how much the dealer was asking... but $40k is silly money. It's "only" a 302 as well!

I guess it's just another guy trying to cash in on the muscle car boom at the moment. Only a fool would buy that car for $40k, but as they say, a fool and his money are easily parted..!

[flappist]

Then on the other hand the best part of a million dollars for and even older falcon and so many rave on how it is such a good investment.

Any of these things are only worth what someone is prepared to pay for them and the reasioning for buying whatever is almost always emotion rather than logic.

Aha!! That one was on fordmusclecarsales.com.au not long ago for $30K. It wasn't advertised for long and I remember thinking the asking price was about right. Looks like someone doing a quick flick and make a few bucks. Not worth $40K in my opinion.

[ZA-289]

Looks pretty tidy. not worth $40,000 to me, But someone will pay it no doubt!!

If you dont want it, let me know and I'll take it!

[rag top]

It is also listed in October edition of Unique Cars for $45,000 (page 209), under the JBC Cars Ad.

[cowboy]

Yeah, i saw it advertised a while back and emailed them. Price then was 45k. No takes i guess. It's clean but not that clean. The XC cobra on ebay for $8700 is much better value, lol.

[f6 typhoon]

i personally would not buy from that car yard heard some very dodgy stories about them

[Super Roo 1970]

A good clean honest genuine V8 XC coupe is worth around 20 to 30k IMHO.
If this is the same car as on the muscle car website, then the asking price was 30k, which would have been on the high side of being right. The asking price may not have been paid, and since its back for sale so fast, I would say either it was snapped up for a fast buck by the dealer, in which case I hope they own it for ages and it costs em heaps to flog it, or someone bought it, and found it had big dollar issues and flogged it, or is flogging it through this dealer.
For 40k, the thing would wanna be immaculate with no issues at all, and a matching numbers 351 gs fairmont coupe.

[nb_351]

you also have to take into account the markup for caryards... he may have paid 20 for it, so hell sell it for 40... lol may go down to 35...
how often do you see cars like that at caryards anyway?
