Aussie muscle cars continue to rise in value
The current growth in values of Aussie muscle cars looks set to continue, if the results of last Saturday's Lloyds auction are anything to go by.
Result of the day was $170,000 for a 1970 Ford Falcon XW GT, which the auction house says is a record price for that model. If you were ever going to pay that much, this was the car that justified it as it was a well-presented one-owner vehicle.
Meanwhile a clean XT GT went for $62,000, which represented solid buying.
So too was an exceptional 1976 Holden Monaro HJ GTS 308 four-door, which went for $52,000.
Top bid for the day was $255,000 for a 1970 HT Monaro GTS 350 auto, which was a little under reserve. However it seemed certain that car would go to the same buyer who paid $310,000 for a near-identical car in the previous Lloyds event.
Meanwhile bidding has opened for the company's first auction in Victoria, at the Shepparton Motor Museum. Some 60 lots are on offer, including classic and muscle cars from most places, plus a movie star ute (lot 47)!
