Looking for a US Ford? A Torino GT looks like value.
Ford US Falcon Sprint/Fairlane/Torino/Ranchero 1964-73
These are the US-made Fords that Australia didn’t see as new cars.
Most are recent imports and often have been left in original LHD form.
1962-65 ‘Compact’ Fairlanes were built here and apart from scarce two-doors are always RHD.
The 1966-70 Fairlane GTs were imports, often come with bigger engines than the local cars and cost only $10,000 more.
A couple of scarce versions priced at $65-70,000 affected the Torino value average however 5.8-litre GTs can still be found for less than $40,000.
A rare Talledega will probably need to come from the USA where they can make A$150,000.
For practicality at sensible prices consider a V8 Ranchero pickup at $25,000.
