Butto Member 352 Member For: 16y 1d Gender: Male Location: Kellyville, Sydney Posted 22/06/08 12:08 PM Share Posted 22/06/08 12:08 PM when the new HO comes out I wouldnt mind buying one and sittin it in a garage for about 10 years and just watch the value appreciate, even some of the 40TH anniversary Cobras are up for sale for a lot more than they were originally bought for and all they are is a different colour scheme and different badging and sticker upgrade.Cheif designer at Ford is saying the new GTHO will have to be a completely different package all together and I think the power figure was looking at being easily over the 450hp mark (I know theres a thread on this so dont quote me)If the Phase III Ho's were anything to go off thenew one is going to be a pretty solid investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't compare to the Phase 3 either, as it wasn't the badge that made that a legend. Ford would have to make the new on an absolute corker to give it the same status as the old GTHO phase 3.

Guest Guests Posted 22/06/08 11:31 PM Share Posted 22/06/08 11:31 PM In reality ford would have to do what Ford USA did with the GT (4o), bout the only way the new car will live up to the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon XR- Member 14 Member For: 16y 11m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sunny BrisVagas Posted 23/06/08 08:21 AM Share Posted 23/06/08 08:21 AM (edited) The Ford Phase Falcons of the late sixties early seventies were unique for two fundamental reasons.1. Ford made essentially a road going race car that anyone so inclined cold buy.2. The very same cars made racing history dominating the local touring car and general motor sport scene.Completely different time indeed. So I guess you could say current day Ford Australia have a fair task in front of them to produce a car of similar possibilities.

How can they justify the price of over double the price of a regular HSV. Its got no cred in my opinion. Its like Expensive Daewoo have looked through the motor catalogue and said "Yes we'll have that one. Itll bolt straight in" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
