I reckon its a scam if i had a car worth that much i would either have it insured for 200k or locked up in a safe and the last place i would sell it on is ebay.

XW GT engines were only 351W and then 351C. The engine ID shows it as a 302 2 barrell carby windsor, which it is although it does appear to now have a 4 barrell carby. It is a genuine Suferoo and IMHO it makes no difference whether its been bastardised with some extras. How many "genuine" XY GT's and HO's are REALLY all genuine, not many as most a some repo parts !!. I know of a few XY HO's that now have Fairmont bodies :hihi: tricked up etc etc, but they were genuine in every other way. Just the bodies were a tad crumpled at the time :hihi: Whether its actually worth $50k depends if someone wants it etc and I hope they do as it would be a shame to lose these historical cars. I'm sure he would not wreck it as he could a more realistic cash offer for it as it stands. |

Looks like he doesn't really care what it sells for as it has no reserve. Reading some of his responses, I don't this guy had his weeties this morning.

This whole wrecking the car if it doesn't sell is a bit of a scare tacted hoping someone will pay what he want, thinking they are saving a rare car.

Ford did build `em, dunno how many. they were in an old car mag my father had lying `round a few years ago...genuine original is an exaggeration though, they were GS spec...also wont give compliance number out, says all No`s are there to verify. compliance would be all that`s needed to verify, why keep that a secret? bullshit mock-up...good job but still mock-up. me thinks he`s spent so much on body/trim that he wants the $$$back...

Hmm... interesting. Generally auctions are still around up until 90 days afterwards to view
This listing (120049022742) has been removed, or this item is not available. * Please check that you've entered the correct item number * Listings that have ended 90 or more days ago will not be available for viewing.

Even though the link keeps coming up as link not found - 404, Im sorry, this IMO just a scam, NO ONE in their right mind, if their car doesn't sell @ 200k would wreck it & sell the parts. NO ONE. Might as well finish it if need be, park it & wait for the demand, cause looking at the past, it will come.
I mean did the guys who owned phase I, II, & III faclons say, if it doesnt reach 500k at auction, im going to wreck it? I doubt that very much.......... BBII

Sorry if i've missed this or if it's been said in this thread, but what model Falcon was this? What was done to it that made it worth so much (apparently)?
