Ford Falcon/Fairmont XK-XP
Money being paid for pre-1966 Falcons climbed significantly during 2020 but they remain less expensive than Holdens of similar age.
If you want something from the 1960s that’s a bit different and not too dear, budget $25-30,000 for a Futura, Fairmont or even a scarce Squire ‘woody’ station wagon.

XM and XP models bring better money because they are seen as more robust and better suited to frequent use than XK-XL versions. The money available for XM-XP Hardtops has for some time been restrained and not even the $58,000 realised at auction by an exceptional car has helped push values for typical examples past $40,000. That number will be eclipsed though if you find a Hardtop with a V8 engine transplant.
XK-XL Falcon $20,395 [14]
XM-XP Falcon (Exc. H/Top) $23,465 [24]
XM-XP Hardtop $40,470 [8]
XM-XP V8 Conversion $53,500 [2]
XL-XP Futura/Fairmont $26,430 [7]
