Maybe its 26,000 miles then, in either way a 1971 Genuine GTHO III will be worth as much as a house, even more, lol

That it was built as Moffats personal driver... I'll make some enquiries and see if its right or wrong.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeh

Doesn't really matter - its still a 1971 GTHO III with 26,000klms or miles on the clock in concours condition.

Absolutely, if its got a genuine 26,000 miles on the clock and still has its original engine and its in perfect condition its going to fetch big $$$

If it is as claimed to be Moffat's personal car it will attract a premium though..

That'd be awesome to see in the metal ... that's for sure.

KOUPE76 · 21-01-2007, 02:53 PM

NICE, so what price do you guy's think it will go for? I'm thinking 500k plus as a HK Bathurst Monaro recently sold for 300k :togo: at auction so surely the Phase 3 is worth more?

Mick.

**Sorted** · 21-01-2007, 02:57 PM

Didn't a black GTHO with a sunroof sell for $400k

SO I would think more than that............

But as the Rich people have seen that these will just increase in value and they will buy to store somewhere and sell at a later date

More like $600k I would think

KOUPE76 · 21-01-2007, 03:02 PM

Damn, so you think 600k plus? Probably go to a unamed collector.

Interceptor · 21-01-2007, 03:04 PM

i'm betting $800k+

The Monty · 21-01-2007, 03:34 PM

Ill say around $800 000 myself. I think that people will pay anything for one these days.

**TUF_302** · 21-01-2007, 07:08 PM

Who wants to buy that for me!

Bucknaked · 21-01-2007, 03:37 PM

I reckon is will go for Gazillions.

ltd · 21-01-2007, 04:23 PM

Methinks just south of the 1 million mark. Well into the 900,000 anyway.
Didn't some guy in Melbourne buy one last year for 1.2?

Blue Oval Mopar Man · 21-01-2007, 04:56 PM

My prediction is it will go for more than I can afford !!!!!!

The original Phase 1 was developed by Allan Moffat at his Toorak workshop.

The second paragraph

The famed G.T.H.O was developed for racing and is the ultimate Falcon GT. The prototype was built by racing legend Allan Moffat in 1970 and prepared for the long distance race at Bathurst. Moffat went on to achieve back to back victories in phase II and III versions of the car in 1970 and 1971.

Is only a general comment about the history of the GTHO's it is not saying that this[U] car was raced or built for racing or prepared by Allan Moffat Racing.

I was talking to Allan this morning and he wasn't aware that this car was up for sale. He was supplied with aroad car by Ford Motor Company in 1971.
I will be seeing him tomorrow so I will get any updates.
