Ford Falcon/Fairmont XR-XT market review
The first Falcons built in Australia with V8 engines are now difficult to find and becoming expensive.
Six-cylinder XR and XT cars are getting up there as well, with vendors of six-pot XR Fairmonts able to generate more than $40,000. XTs of all types remain underpriced when compared with the XR but can’t stay that way forever.
| Buyer’s Guide: Ford Falcon XR
XR-XT V8 Fairmonts attract the most attention in this grouping, with XRs making slightly more money than XT versions.
However, asking $100,000+ for a V8 XR, even in excellent condition within a booming market, isn’t going to attract hordes of buyers. XR-XT panel vans are rare and worth up to 50 percent more than passenger versions.
XR Falcon $24,045 [12]
XT Falcon $19,030 [11]
XR Fairmont $40,250 [2]
XT Fairmont $28,665 [3]
