Wouldn't you prefer a GT or a Sprint or something?

like fordgirl said, im not sure why you'd be so keen on getting an ED XR8 to put away...
they've got the same 165kw V8 as every other falcon of the era, thy werent really a perfomer without ripping them apart and modding the engine..

look around for an EB or EL GT or an ED XR8 Sprint as a put-away vcar
they will become valuable in the future, no question

BACK ON TOPIC

what sort of budget are you working with??

05_ENFORCER · 19-01-2007, 01:32 AM

TICTRAK go with MADNC 8's proposal and try to pick up a cheap ED sprint or an El/EB GT, given time they could nett you some dollars.

TZAKHAMMER · 19-01-2007, 01:38 AM

Now that this thread is cleaned, lets try and stay on topic.
05_ENFORCER: Please think before you post next time

Poetic Justice · 19-01-2007, 12:20 PM

I'd be looking for:

ED Sprint
EB GT
EL GT
NL FBT

Failing that, a clean EL S2 XR8 pref with a manual trans would be good... or even a clean as hell EL V8 Ghia would be good too.

Depends what your ultimate intentions are.. If you're after an appreciating asset one out of the list above is going to do it for you.. but if you want something that's a good cruiser a couple of times a year that wont just be a rust bucket after 20 years and worth nothing then perhaps the XR8 or a Fairmont would be good for ya...

Though if I wasn't going the appreciating asset route, I'd be looking for something more in the EL range then back at the EB/ED range...

It could make a good base for a project.

i gather he meant 4 or 5

TZAKHAMMER · 19-01-2007, 04:04 PM

nah i did mean 4.5 , jokingly of course, theres five of them, but mine got hit so theres only half left

LUXO_8 · 19-01-2007, 04:23 PM

ah ok...... if you're going to be rebuilding her, there is a place in melbourne which reproduces the kit.

im sure the details wouldnt be hard to track down

BI6TIM · 19-01-2007, 05:01 PM

Make that six or seven Brock's. There's at least two that I know of in north Brissy.

I also think a ED XR8 Sprint would be the best option. You can still get them for a decent price but probably not for long.

I'd agree, get something that will increase in value. Then it will be worth your while.

Interesting : is or has there been a list compiled of the cars to watch in regards moving forward or does that list cover it all ?

I see a few current rides holding value moving forward.

The T series AU
au xr8 111 ( im sure will hold for some time in good nick )
the Ba MK2 GT

but could be wrong

Jason[98.EL] · 19-01-2007, 05:23 PM

if you are going to put it away and only drive it on certain days a ED XR8 Sprint wouldbe the way to go

good luck with the search

the ba falcon gt will be worth nothing pretty soon. they are just too common. like the xr series, every falcon i see is an xr6.

where the e-series xr's they are quite rare, and so hold there value, at about $2,000 above the rest.

EDXRSW · 19-01-2007, 10:29 PM

i'm doing the same thing with my ed xr6 wagon,it just sits in the shed and i don't care if it dosn't go up in value cause i just think it would be cool as hell to be able to take it out with my son when he's 18 for a drive, only thats only 11years away oh well i'll just keep it forever!!
