2023 Market Review - Ford Falcon XR-XY GT/GT-HO
One outstanding GT-HO Phase 3 offered at over $1 million and a pretty ordinary one sold for under $500,000 combined for an average that seems realistic in a tighter market. Even as we go to press, another car with suspect history is being readied for sale and we will report on it next year.
Phase 2s at around $300,000 offered value for enthusiast owners, as did basic versions of the XW GT. The average for early XR GTs finally climbed above $200,000, but $175,000 for an XT GT looks hard to sustain. Also excessive is the $300,000 being sought for some XY GTs; with vendors holding out for overblown prices even when the buyers think otherwise.
If you want the sizzle without spending $300K on a local Shaker XY, Fairmont-based 351s repatriated from South Africa are easy to find at under $170,000 and lots of ‘tribute’ cars are available at $120-150,000.
