holy moly... its damn nice.. but you think they would have atleast given it a vacuum.

I can't see myself paying $89k for any car... even if it was a GT.. or a Phase3 for that matter. They're nice, but so is my bank balance.

Track red was a colour in the XY range.

*rayman* · 15-08-2005, 09:40 PM

yep, hence why the first biante 1:18th XY model they made was track red..... and now worth a LOT of money too.

FTR888 · 15-08-2005, 09:40 PM

Well then I guess you shall stand corrected because Track red was code H in the XY range with 141 GT falcon's sold and 23 HO's, totalled=164 and it was also code T in the XW range.

4th color down, there were a lot more colors in the XYGT range than you'd think.

probably a typo, tried to enter 351 in a field that should have been litres (5.8).

Unless the bloke has ripped out the original clevland and replaced it with a rover V8??

I doubt its worth 80k+, mid 60's sound reasonable.

GRNKPR · 16-08-2005, 01:13 AM

Rear spoilers were only fitted to Phase 3's, i believe they were a dealer option on later XYGT's
But like most XYGT's now they seem to have front and rear spoilers as well as 15" globes which were never an option on XYGT's.

TZENU · 16-08-2005, 10:47 AM

damn when i may be able to afford a genuine one in the next 10 years they will b worth probly 100gs!!!!

Apparently you have to be a "battler" to be a real GT enthusiast and anyone who collects, restores, looks after or sells them for top $$ is an investor and capitalist pig!

i noticed you didn't put "drive" in your list. everyone who reads your drivel here and other forums will understand.

REAL enthusiasts drive their musclecars, 4vman. not just talk about them.

My car gets driven when ever i feel like a drive. Its allways there in the garage beside my XR8 which gets driven daily.
I drive it when ever i feel like it because i can, weather its once a week or month or once a year it doesn't bother me, i own it and look after it, ive spend an enourmous amount of time and money restoring it, which was allot of fun.
Tell me, how often should i drive it to make you happy or be considered a REAL enthusiast???
