This car was the first official FPV ever sold to the Australian public, it's a unique & historical car with it's SIDO number published in the first Blueprint mag. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to sell this car.?

What colour is it.
How many kays. What options. Unique Cars Magazine may be a start, but these cars are Hardly collectables yet, regardless of their build date. Unless its only got delivery kays on it and its mint you'll find it hard to get anymore then market value for it.

Not saying your wrong but why wern't #1 and #2 Sold?
I thought FPV only used the cars with E.g P#001 for press cars, Etc Doubt you will get much for it over all the others at the moment mate, pity you have to sell it could be a collectors item in the future. |

I don't think 1 & 2 get sold until further in the run. Might be wrong??

I think Outer limits is saying that it was the very first sold to the public numbers 1 and 2 were probabbly the press cars, so they weren't sold officially. His would be the first privatley owned car.

#0001 I think is in the Ford Museum and number #0002 was held for press release only. #0003 was the first sold directly to the Aust Public

To be honest mate i really don't think that you could use the fact that it was the first available for sale to the public as a selling point... GT #4389 (as an example) may have been the last BA GT offered to the public, but you wouldn't expect it to command more $$ just because it was the last. If it didn't have a build plate you wouldn't even know if it was first, second or six thousand'th GT sold and hense you would expect to receive the same $$ as everyone else. At the end of the day its a used car and far far far from collectable.
Regardless, all the best with the sale. |

I am in agreeance with your thoughts on the first point made RE first car sold to the publice..... but if The last Monaro sold for nearly 200K, surely the last GT would attract a price premium over 'normal' stock ?? Particularly the case if the shape was to change with the next model. Personally I'd be a little reluctant to buy an ex press thrash car build # 1, 2 whatever, yet alone pay more for one. But the last one made, well that's another story.

As for the "LAST" Monaro it is a collectors item as its the last of that model for who knows how long... ![]()

I disagree with most of the people here, I think the car will almost certainly be worth very big bucks in a couple of decades and therefore there will be someone out there with enough foresight to pay more than the normal market value of a BA GT. The best you can do is at least try to get a big price for it - what have you got to lose?

I responded in two parts to a previous post that suggested that 1. First Gt would be worth no more @ sale 2. Last Gt would be worth no more @ sale I said 1. Agree with first point. 2. Suggested that the LAST GT would be worth more. Re Read.

I thought I read somewhere that the first person to take public ownership of a BA GT was a women who purchased a Citric Acid one with black stripes. Obviously I was wrong. Is it worth more than another BAGT I'm not sure. It may do to a collector but I wouldn't imagine we aren't talking big money at this early stage. It may however make the car more desirable to someone who is looking for an 03 GT anyway, being a little more special in terms of history. The last Monaro was a bit different to this senario. The last Monaro is likely to be the last 'Aussie' built Monaro for a very long time. The last BA GT was simply the last of a model cycle but a new model has followed.
Getting back on the topic, I reckon the best place to sell it would be: This forum (and other Ford forum’s) Aussiemusclecars.com.au Carsales.com.au eBay Via FPV related car clubs

Would $50K be a crazy price. I just want to see it go to a good home to someone that is going to look after it and benifit later, don't want to be greedy

As a collector if it doesn't pay off, it's not like someone paid a few hundred thousand for the car in the first place, it's only going to fetch somewhere between $40-60k I would imagine now. Most collector of these type of cars need to be in it for 30 years+. I sold my XB GT when it was 24 years old at approx triple it's original value. Now 31 year old the same car would fetch 5-6 times it's value. ![]()

BA GT build no.1 was sold about 2 months ago in a fleet company tender in Melbourne.It was a silver auto with about 60000kms if I remember rightly and was someone's company lease car.It sold to a dealer for somewhere in the mid to high 30s and I'm surprised that it hasn't been advertised for some absurd figure since.At the end of the day it was just another 3 year old BA GT with more mileage than most.Most of the blokes who looked at the car couldn't justify paying over the odds for the car just because of the number on the console.
If anything,the first cars in any production run are usually the ones with the problems and I certainly wouldn't be paying any more for one. |

This has become an interesting thread. At the moment we have 2 different colours for P001. Sorry to hijack your thread Outerlimits.
