oldskool Member 144 Member For: 19y 2m 22d Posted 21/10/09 03:06 AM Share Posted 21/10/09 03:06 AM no he is deaming, would be prob worth it in 20 years maybe.I doubt even current models will be worth as much as old 70's muscle cars are now. I thought the mulsce cars are worth what they are due to the rarity and image they have. The muscle cars people get good money for now are cars which were actually raced at Bathurst etc rather than the current racecars now adays. The only thing current v8 racecars share with the showroom model is the 'badge'. Its also people who loved these cars when they wre young and now may be lucky enough to afford these cars now.Back in the day there mainly was only Ford or Expensive Daewoo for the masses, now there is all jap and euro cars for kids to get excisted about.I think the only thing which may add value to the latest models is the possible end of the aussie made engines.

ronburgundy I love gooold member Donating Members 1,222 Member For: 16y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne (west) Posted 21/10/09 03:21 AM Author Share Posted 21/10/09 03:21 AM Limited or not, there is no way it is worth that much TODAY!!! I reckon he's about 20 years ahead of his time (if he's lucky).Other than the fact it is a 'commemorative' model is there anything special about it? That's a legit question, I'm not too familiar with that model.For example, and maybe not the best example... the W427 had something special about it. It had an engine that was not offered on any other model at the time. I'm assuming this BF doesn't lay the same claim to fame?

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/10/09 03:56 AM Share Posted 21/10/09 03:56 AM It is not worth it now or in 20 years time.There is nothing special aside from a limited edition badge of 200 made. Just like the Cobra they are sticker specials.If you read Unique Cars, you see a heap going for the $60k mark along side the dreamers wanting $90+. The expensive ones are there month in month out as they will not sell.People know how much they were new and would/could have bought one then. The speculators are the ones trying to make a profit on them, but have failed as there was not enough demand to maintain the price.The W427 was menat to be a limited edition of 427 cars, but they stopped production at less than 200 as nobody wanted them. Anyone who buys a new car to make money on is a fool.

timbos99 Member 300 Member For: 16y 6m 2d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 21/10/09 04:35 AM Share Posted 21/10/09 04:35 AM I think it was a once off where Aussie muscle cars were an investment. It came about from the kids dreaming about those cars an 20/30yrs later we hit the 'cashed up tradie / Gen Y' era we have right now. I sure as hell would not be looking at a new limited edition model for an investment... if we still have oil and fuel in 20yrs I may eat my words, but I doubt it... rant over Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/62882-would-you-pay-over-100k-for-a-bf/#findComment-945457 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A GTHO is not worth $500000 whichever way you look at it.
