Umm, I think it's that price because it's old and damaged. And still overpriced.

Every model of falcon goes through that stage. Yes the AU's time is coming, but at the moment it's securely owned by e-series cars

Yes well...good point. We bought our XC-Update Fairmont GXL for $1800 in excellent condition around 1990, sold it in 2000 for $3500. I've seen them advertised for a lot more than that these days.
I'm also old enough to remember XY Falcons with V8's selling for under $2000 in registered very good condition. My wedding car was a friends XY-GT that he bought for $4100 in 1980. It was only that price because it was in exceptional condition and came with a fully retrimmed interior and new paint.

Refer to the thread about "Future Classics" on advice of how to peer into the automotive crystal ball...with varying success...

Can see why they took it out of the tree now, looks like it was slowly falling out of the tree from the rear.

I think the front end of the actual W427 leaves a lot to be desired, as to why people would want to replicate that look is beyond me, haha.

Driving in Townsville today we saw a black Holden Sportwagon with a Chev badge on the tailgate.

Me: Check out the Chev badge on the Holden - If I had my camera, I'd get a photo for the Fail Thread.

She Who Must Be Obeyed (Whos is not across the whole Chev badges on Commodores thing): Why does it have a Chev badge on it?

Me: Because it is a fail.

SWMBO: But why would they put it on there?

Me: Well, if it's a V8, the engine will have been made by Chevrolet and they think that makes it cool to have Chev badges on there.

SWMBO: But who was the car manufactured by?

Me: Holden

SWMBO: So why did they put a Chev badge on it?

Me: Because it's a fail.

SWMBO: Oh yes, back to the original statement - I see now.

Me: HAHAHA

If I take a pic for this thread:

She says: "why are you taking a pic of that?"
I say: "to put in the fail thread"
She says: "why?"
I say: "because if everyone had your attitude there wouldn't be a fail thread"
She says: "you're an idiot"
I say: "move your head, I can't quite get the cannon in the pic".

Anyone else had that chat?
