Ford Falcon/Fairmont EA-EL
A feature of the Covid-influenced market was strong demand for 1960s-90s Australian cars and early XR6s have done particularly well. Leaving aside one exceptional ED offered at $20,000, other cars from the 1990s and in apparently excellent order have sold at less than $10,000. EB ‘S Pack’ cars in average condition remain below $8000 but the money available for excellent originals is climbing towards $15,000.

Buyers who aren’t up for an XR6 will still find plenty of affordable choice among GLi and Futura versions which frequently cost less than $4000. EF-EL Fairmonts are relatively expensive but offer more equipment and power (4.0-litre engines delivering 157kW against the earlier EA’s 139kW).
