I notice on reading the ad, that the engine is described as "1 Cyl"...............
Hm.................. Severe economic slump in Oz at the time? Seven plug leads disconnected? |

Seriously over priced. Ultimately the market will pay what the car is worth as it always does.

I'm sure I've seen that car advertised many times over an extended period - either it has sold & the new owner is looking to "cash in" on the current market or that reflects the validity of the asking price.
Obviously being "#1" would add substantially to the price (& of course you would need to be very satisfied this was actually the case!), perhaps 50%? Apart from reasonably heavy steering at slow speeds, these are fantastic cars to drive (albeit I have only driven a non-HO XW GT) and a lot of fun. |

A 30+ year old Ford for more than the latest baby Lambo or Faz?

Cheaper to own really, servicing much easier & no depreciation. At that level though they can barely be regarded as a car though - ie as something you can drive / means of transport.

the bloke who bought that would have to be happy now, the market is falling that quickly that I hate to think how much less that would be worth now.

Well the ad is still there, now asking AUD$550k, which I am not surprised to see. I agree the market seems to be returning to more sane & sustainable levels - depending on the economic climate it may drop further!
