And a few more at that price could i suggest? Looks nice though. Collectable..........hardly, but who knows? Find a genuine DJ XE Grand Prix Turbo though, and you'd be knocked down in the rush. I remember in the 90's, Supa Carz, Buranda (Brisbane) use to get the occasional one in and they'd sit there for months. Now you'd give your left nut for one.

A DJR GP is a sweet car, and IMO will be interesting to watch its value given Dick wont be racing for ever and its basically what the XR6T is now (with a bit more flair).

[IEAT8S]

It would have some collectablilty though, wouldn't it? It does have some pretty good factory options from factory.

IMO at the end of the day its a moddified XF Ghia...so currently worth very little.

Be doing well to get $5k. While the seats, rims and steering wheel are nice they dont add that much value, and the only "DJR" thing about it is the delivery docket...

[Jim Goose]

Not collectable?

Ummmm.... ok if you think that Dick Johnsons ex personal car which is unmolested etc ... isnt collectable? ooook.

Probably not worth $15g however, but still it appears to be all orginal (complete with factory sterio, hope it works!) and certainly will never find one again like it?

[last fairlane]

At that price he could have bought some self tappers
and held the steering collumn cover together
instead of black tape
or even got another one if the screw holes are stripped
it was a common prob on XFs I know first hand
and yes if it was the turbo model
it would sell in an instant
pity Dick didnt go that way

Very neat XF Ghia no doubt about it, but do not see the 15k worth of appeal

[burkie_21]

john bowes old el gt prototype 2 is for sale on carsales for 35k an its been there a long time. 15k for a xf is dreamin

[sprint347dave]

tell him, he is dreaming

[Bossxr8]

Brown interior yuk. Horrid.

Is this thing a turbo, cause I don't remember the airflow meter being over the exhaust side on the XF. I thought the intake piping went over the top of the rocker cover and come onto the passenger side?

Nice recaros though.

Nah looks like standard EFI crossflow fare to me.

[Nikked]

Can't be too many XF's running around in that condition with those options...

Shame its not one of his SVO turbos...

I think your right.

I just remembered the airflow meter on the other side for some reason, maybe because I remember my brothers XF Ghia from over a decade ago but that was on LPG, which is maybe why it was on the other side, due to the conversion.

[ZDI-970]

only good bits are the sunroof, wheels and front seats... its got some other good bits as well but not 15k worth..

[IEAT8S]

What would you pay for it?

[IEAT8S]

I'd be happy parting with maybe $4k maybe 5k.

[sprint347dave]

$1k max

I do however think $5000 is more realistic than $15000. He obviously doesn't want to sell it as it has been on carsales etc for years. The market says $15000 is way too much. If the seller doesn't want to lower the price, then respect the market and remove it from sale.

[P6LTD351]

Furthermore, if it wasn't owned by DJ, $2500 - $3000 would see it out. The seats aren't original and neither is the sunroof as they were not factory options in XFs. The tape around the steering column and worn steering wheel would turn me off, together with the non factory paint. Still a nice straight XF.

[Deaks]

Seeing that i am currently looking for an XE at the moment, my thoughts are that yes it is over priced, but having said that, 2-3k seems a bit low ball. The car looks great, has great wheels, a sunroof, nice paint, the whole DJ link means nothing value wise to me, it may to others though. Id say around the 7k mark. But its entirely dependent on one thing, a willing buyer.

[4stanger]

The colour is not a colour the that came out on xf's, but back then you could request fleet colors such as Diamond White (Qld. Police) Gilbarco Blue just to name a couple, this would have been an extra cost item. I remember seeing this car at the back of the pits at Surfers International Raceway back in November 1985 for the Surfers 300. I think I might even have a photo of this car some where. It had DJR 17 number plates and was something to drool over then and it didn't have the xr6 headlights on it back then. Dick was racing the green Mustang back then, I think he replaced this xf with a Black Sierra as a personal car. Members keep commenting on the price, Hypethetically, what would a 1985 VK group A Commodore(or that hatchback one he brought over from Germany) owned By P. Brock would be worth in simular condition and simular options?

That's neither here nor there.

This thing has been on and off Carsales for years. The only way this thing is worth $15k is if the owner can find a buyer willing to pay that much. And that hasn't happened yet.

[Ford_The_Win]

That interior is pure gaudy 80s, how revolting
