Replica, Genuine has just surpassed $1,000,000 as a regular base price point now which is a bit too much lol. 
 

Can’t wait to pick it up !

 

Solid bucket list vehicle for me and @Mrs Jeturbo as XY GT’s have always been that one bad ass bus. I mean the engine sticks through the bonnet and that’s cool as sheet ;)

yeah, but you're a cich runt who can afford the $1m pricetag as an investment :stirthepot:

 

yeah, definitely a great vehicle. Since it's a replica, a Barra would go great guns in there :spoton:

hahaha of course they sound great, but they're slow compared to a Barra... but if all you're doing is cruising around with a decent exhaust system then the v8 is the way to go.

Yeh I’m happy to go slow in her, nothing else like a good cruiser if she makes the right sounds

dayum. Both my parents had XYs at one point or another when I was growing up. Not GTs though. Just regular Falcons & Fairmonts, worth pennies at the time. I've always wanted one but prices are just getting beyond me now.

Yep indeed it was a decent outlay but it’s now or never really so on the train we went ! 
 

Anything old that’s had some kind of restoration or kept in good shape is just fetching silly money these day’s and unfortunately the covid bubble doesn’t really apply to these so much as they’re always just going upwards. 
 

That said I can’t wait to take that iconic picture that the XY GT was famous for, mind you I won’t be doing that speed haha

And from a nostalgic perspective, our first proper date was in an XY GT... and we’ve wanted one since then. 
 

Definitely a car to keep forever ❤️

Haha a turbo barra and it'll go way faster than that... Whether it's safe is another matter altogether... Still, whatever engine is in it, it would be fun to try that sort of thing out on the non-speed-limit roads.
