Not thrashed, just well run in ;D

[bangm001]

yeah build no 500 is the go. I wouldnt touch no 1 either (not that i can bid anyway). Black stripes on black for me (After powerball win!)!

Blue is for Prostate Cancer.....
More Deaths and More People have Prostate Cancer than Breast Cancer

It's a Tuff Man Car......

To me Breast Cancer receives a huge amount of support everywhere and it is starting to be a bit one sided.

Ford Blue - GTF Blue - Prostate Cancer Blue would be more appropriate in this instance.

I am not being morbid, it is just how I see it ALTHOUGH I am willing to be proven wrong................

They should advertise this more than having the auction start in 7 days............

I thought they were going to make a pink one

No different to what I would do to it if I owned it

Keep dreaming Nicholas keep dreaming

[XR Martin]

Lets hope it gets better figures than what the last Fairlane got at auction...

[bangm001]

What everyone thinking, 100K for #001 and 120K for #500??

[Bucknaked]

Number 500 is a significant number being the last. The final Monaro fetched a good price, so I'm thinking closer to $150k.

[Charliewool]

200k minimum, I'm thinking?
All would be tax deductable if it's a recognised charity..

Awesome and generous idea by Ford. Well done.
Although I think Ford Aus should be keeping #500 for their archives/museums but up to them.

Tax deductible? I don't think so. You're recieving a 'good' for your 'donation'.

I'd love to own #1. Having your actual car photographed, videoed and documented in all forms of media at the launch is priceless. I actually think it'll be very close in price to #500 for that reason.

[ozpacman]

I'll go out on a limb here with the final price for #500. Last ever GT Falcon - I reckon she'll fetch about $320K.

Yep, getting a bit sick of this to be honest. It's pink, pink, pink, everywhere. It's like moral blackmail and nobody can say no.
More men get cancer than women, prostate cancer is significantly more common than breast cancer, and in total bowel cancer is also more common.

Don't get me wrong, I lost my Mum and Dad to cancer, all but one of my uncles, and my brother in law. Not ONE to breast cancer.
One car each to Breast & Prostate cancer would seem more balanced?

[SpoolMan]

Guys if you want to start a discussion about what color is associated to what ever charity start your own thread in the appropriate area.

Having a guess on what they will go for will keep the interest going..

001 $175,000
500 $200,000

$115,000 would be a fair price considering its a press car and covered over 6,000 km.

But I think the GTF 500 will be the one to get. Brand new, Manual and colour choice of winner.

[Sprint347]

The rear wheels have travelled 6300km but the car itself has probably only done 500.

No - I mean GT Falcon. It's only really people like us that know them as an FPV GT.

To Joe Public or Corporate Clem out there who is looking for a promotional opportunity by buying the last one and commercially exploiting its star quality, it's the last GT Falcon - and that's why I reckon it'll go for huge money.

Just my thoughts though.

Yeah that's a good point. Just like 'the block' a few seasons ago.

[XR Martin]

GTF 15 has also had a thrashing as its the one that has done the dyno rounds.

[BadMax]

200k each.

BTW, if someone said hey, I've got an XDub GT number one build, but it was a press car...would you really care?
