Here is a Falcon I had never heard of. Is this genuine? It appears to be according to the magazine reports

Don't know about the price tag but yeah they were genuine.
I used to have a book that was put out when the EA was released doing the falcon history up till the EA (when that was big).
It had photos and a brief bit about the Suferoo and yes Orange is the original colour too.
As a matter of fact it also had how the Ford Hardtop cobra came about, There was 400 hardtops that needed to be cleared, it was that simple, They also realeased a Cobra Transit van for the same reason, with the distictive blue stripes on white.

i've got a question it says "built to GT spec" i didn't think they had 302's, or was it the early model with the 302's

if it was the 4X4 version then it would really be a Surferoo.

[Sorted]

That car was even before the 70's lol

Man thats totally wild...................

and an F100, that matched :

It says that it was built by ford to GT specs... what a load of crap!!

I read the resto story of this car in unique cars years ago... It left the factory in GS spec, and the owner decided to spice it up with GT bits, as he had no intention of selling it.

The fibreglass tub isn't original either... apparently after the car was retired from the show scene, a tradie bought it, and hacked the wings off with a saw.

Yeah, its a rare car, but it has been bastardised and isn't worth anywhere near what he wants...

[1970galaxie]

I remember seeing a couple of these in the early '70s.
Certainly rare, but not worth 200k.....but really unique.

According to this guy, there was only 1 made?

[BeStRaFe]

that there be a concept car.....
verry nice.... would want a better engine in there though

[Falcon_Phill]

mmm seems a bit much just to put your surfboard somewhere.

[16wantsI6]

that would be even better than a panelvan lol.
so funkadelic.

Thats golds..

I have to saw, my personal opinion on the looks of the car is not a whole heap. Doesn't do a whole lot for me.

Hell Yeah !!

$200k

[R0BD0G]

but what a car

[XRLightening]

Wasn't the XW GT originally released with the 351 Windsor before the 351 Cleveland was introduced in mid 1970??

The ad states a 302 Windsor (but then its a prototype)

[Shonky]

*EDITED*

I cant read - shutup its been a long day.

I think the bloke is only saying that to justify the price!

I even knew a person who owned one many years ago.
Something very unique about them was the way the tarp fitted to the car.
They covered the back as normal, but around the wing, but it continued right up onto the sail panels and up to the top of the roof. A plastic screen was inserted into the tarp, so that the driver could see through the rear window.

[HOON69]

its real but def not worth the price his after thats for sure

Correct, they were released in GS specs only and more than just 0ne were sold !!!

[JG3282]

Wayne Draper, former Ford Mo Co designer just told me it is the genuine article

[BAFalconXT]

$50,000 starting price isnt that bad. Who would go to the trouble to make a fake one? Dont know why he would sell it on eBay, why wouldnt he get Shannons the sell it if it was that good and original. His statement about pulling it apart for parts if it doesnt sell seems a bit strange if it is an original.

[cupic]

Strange things have happened before you just never know

[SpoolMan]

I am starting to wonder how genuine this guy and his Ute sale are.
I asked him how does one value a Ute like this considering it’s a one off and how much does his insurance company value it at….. here is his reply.

''Hi, it is not insured as I have had it so long. This auction will show what it is worth hopefully.If it does not sell we will wreck it and sell the parts on ebay''.
.

[Scott]

For $200k you'd reckon he would finish the resto!

[EL_futuraistic]

ok that is very dodgey.

If its truly genuine, and truly Rare and truly worth $200k.

why would u wreck it if it doesnt sell??? surely there is better places to sell like to a private collector or something.
