Chicane Auctions’ October Classic, Performance and Rare Car Auction wraps up this Thursday, October 23rd at 8:30PM (AEST) — and it’s another standout collection curated for true enthusiasts.
From Australian icons to European precision and American muscle, every car has been photographed, detailed, and presented in Chicane’s Melbourne showroom.
AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE AND PERFORMANCE LEGENDS
1988 Ford GT40 by GT Developments
A beautifully engineered recreation of Ford’s Le Mans hero. Constructed by the renowned UK firm GT Developments, it’s finished in Azure Blue and powered by a 302 Windsor V8 with 5-speed transaxle. Period-correct details make this GT40 as authentic as they come — a driveable work of art with motorsport DNA and is Club Registered.

1974 Ford Falcon XB Fairmont GS Hardtop
Of only seven finished in Burnt Orange with Black Trim, this GS Hardtop was professionally restored in 2022 and driven just 111 km since. Featuring a long list of factory options including its factory GS Rally Pack, Air Cond and Power Steering, it’s a show-quality example of the coupe era at its finest.

1969 Holden HT GTS Monaro
Few cars capture the essence of Australian 1960’S performance motoring like the HT GTS Monaro. Powered by a 350 V8 and finished in full GTS trim, this beautifully restored example stands tall as a 1960s icon — raw, rare, and ready for the next custodian.

2014 FPV GT F – Build No. 357
The end of an era. This Octane Metallic GT F represents the final chapter in Ford’s GT bloodline — one of only 43 manual examples finished in this colour. Showing just 5,992 km from new and owned by a single custodian, this Build No. 357 GT F embodies everything we love about Australian performance heritage.

1976 Ford Falcon XB GT Sedan
A genuine, matching-numbers survivor — one of the very last GT Falcons of the 1970s. Finished in rare factory Code K Tango with parchment trim and just two owners from new, this XB GT stands as a timeless piece of Ford history and an increasingly rare collector’s prize.

1974 Ford Falcon XB Fairmont Hardtop
A tougher take on the XB Hardtop formula — fitted with a rebuilt 351 V8, C10 auto, 9-inch LSD and disc brakes all round. This Hardtop combines the style of 1970s muscle with the reliability and performance of a well-executed modern upgrade.

1972 Ford XY Falcon Panel Van (V8)
A true blue Aussie legend with personality to spare. This rare windowless XY Panel Van features a new and rebuilt V8 driveline, refreshed cabin and mechanicals while retaining its original patina. It’s equal parts collectible, usable, and unmistakably Australian.

EUROPEAN COLLECTABLES AND CLASSICS
1988 Porsche 944 Turbo
Turbocharged precision from Stuttgart. Powered by the 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo with Brembo brakes and capable of 0–100 km/h in under six seconds, this Azure Blue example features a cream interior and a full documented service history — a true modern classic with investment appeal.

1989 BMW 325is Coupe
The Australian-delivered E30 325is is a connoisseur’s choice — fitted with the factory M Sports Package, Getrag 260 5-speed gearbox and limited-slip differential. Finished in Diamond Schwarz, it delivers the perfect mix of balance, precision and collectible appeal.

1962 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 Manual Overdrive
The definitive British sports saloon. With its 3.8-litre twin-cam six, polished timber interior and Connolly leather trim, this Mk II represents the pinnacle of Jaguar’s 1960s craftsmanship — elegance and performance in one timeless package.

AMERICAN ICONS AND CUSTOM MUSCLE
1966 Ford Mustang Convertible (RHD)
An American icon refined for Australian roads. This right-hand-drive convertible pairs a 289 Windsor V8 with C4 automatic transmission, power steering, front discs and a power-operated roof. Finished in *red over black*, it’s the perfect weekend cruiser.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
1961 Ford F100 Custom (RHD)
A head-turning Aussie-built pickup that blends the best of both worlds — a Ford F100 cab mated to a Holden HZ chassis. Powered by a 308 V8/TH350 combo, it features an engineered conversion, bold red leather interior and stance that commands attention.
