2023 Market Review - Ford Falcon/Fairmont XA-XE V8
Fifty years have passed since the XA Falcon was launched, yet these uncomplicated Fords remain very suitable for regular use.
They are also cheaper when compared to XY versions of the same car. XA-XC V8 utilities generate high prices, some even more than a 5.8-litre Fairmont sedan, but they also suffer serious rust issues and survivors are scarce.
The same goes for XA-XC Hardtops which in usable condition cost around $100,000. XD-XE V8s remain usable and European Sports Pack models, especially the XE 5.8 four-speed, are $100,000+ prospects.
The money paid for ESPs influences other XD-XE versions and helps keep demand for these bubbling. Spend $30-35,000 on a 351 Fairmont in nice condition.
