Certainly a nice car but they are only worth what someone is willing to pay.

It is so mint that you couldn't drive it anywhere.
Cars like that have become, collectors items like artwork.

The fastest 4 door in the world back in 72, just beating the Mercedes 300sel 6.3 V8. Dream garage would have both.

I wouldn't mind owning one but not that one, the history and condition bring a burden of responsibility that I wouldn't want to carry. I'd rather have one that I could give a few loud dollars without having to worry too much about breaking it.

as much as i like the car i can't but help thinking you could build one hell of a nice DYNACORN MUSTANG for that.mmmnice injected motor with all the goodies stuffed into a brand new 67 mustang fastback shell.

nice car for sure. but $495,000. really! I don't see the half a mil value in it at all. I'm sure this would have been a $49,500 car just a few years ago.

I said fastest not quickest, Merc was 221kmh, Wheels managed 225kmh in the GTHO back in the day. Add a 911 RS to that while ya at it.

edit, 144mph from the xy in 1971, which is 230kmh.

I agree yes its special but I would not say half a million reminds me of that the 1 million dollar master craftsman Camaro.

They're going for close to that in Aus between $300,000AUD (sold) and $425,000. "A Falcon XY GTHO Phase III was sold at by Bonhams & Goodmans at auction for A$683,650 in March 2007. The car had just 40,000 km on the clock.The sale price set a new auction record for Australian muscle cars. Whilst in June 2007 another Phase III sold for A$750,000."

the muscle car bubble has well and truly burst though in aussie. However, with the current exchange rate an aussie buyer could be found i reckon.

i worked for Ford when the XY GT was introduced and it was called the Shaker because of the hood scoop,maybe it was a throw back to the 69 Mustang. Aussie tended to follow U.S.A trends.awesome car in the flesh,mean as cats piss.
