Melbourne auction ... four Falcon utes etc

[xkxlxm]

https://burnsandco.hibid.com/catalog...rne-victoria/?

This Sunday, 6 Dec. Four Falcon utes, some Falcon sales brochures, Falcon parts, Leyland Mini parts. The utes are pretty amazing. I'd like to bid on/buy one of them but it's probably not a good idea.

There are 12 pages of stuff and the utes are on page 12.

Pretty strange that XR ute having green interior and red seats and door trims

Been restored and had a few changes along the way would be my guess. Brown vinyl floor mat under the carpet.

[FERG_51]

Sure did like his blue Utes, I like the home made heavy duty rear bumpers on the XF and G's

[marty351]

Anyone notice the ryobi 5 speed drill press at $210?

Old man picked one up for about $150 20 years ago.

[Aussie Falcon]

Have to admit I felt sad browsing this guys prized processions. Made me wonder what would happen to my stuff when the time comes.

I really like those xf rear bumpers. i would have bought one for my pano if they were for sale. Clever design.

[au2000]

tbh i've been looking at 1 of these for myself.. the xg with the canopy, but i've since discovered its been re sprayed from it's original silver to the current baby blue,
Ive gone and seen it in person, it was a full respray so will need a motor out , fully stripped to be put back to silver

the xf is immaculate... i believe deceased estate of a batchelor

if i get one more than happy to pull it off in exchange for normal bumperetes

[xkxlxm]

There are some rear bumperetes in the auction. I guess they would be from two of the utes. I looked thru all the pages yesterday. However, I didn't note what page they were on.

[stoodoo]

Blown away by this. Who the hell kept all of this sort of ****, from so many years ago???? Looks like original sales paperwork and everything. I get it that people over the last 10 or so years have maybe kept paperwork for their pride and joy more upmarket gt's xr8's etc. But from 1967, 1995....for "common-issh" everday standard type falcons??????

[Sprintey]

Bless this gentleman. That's how you treat cars. If a deceased estate, heaven is going to have to do a spring clean to be ready for him.

[au2000]

Im sorry but .. 68,000 for a XF ute?
I know it was 2,500 ks but seriously?
Almost 10 grand difference between it and the xr ute with 8,000 miles!
Jesus just watch all the xf xg xh guys start demaning 30 grand for their 4.1 GL 's

[DJR-351]

$206,500. Not bad for 4 old six cylinder Falcon utes

[Tassie f100]

And so many things changed on the XR.supposed to,be green,now blue.bought as a 200, but has red 170 rocker cover and aircleaner and I am certain it would have been bought with green interior not that red/ brown that it has been retrimmed with.

68 grand for an XF ute... WTF

Yep. And the outback for 20 grand was the 1 i was looking at for myself tbh..i went to see all 4 last week prior to auction. The outback was supposed to be silver yet it was stripped and copped a full respray in that blue which threw me off tbh.. i wonder in the buyer realises its gonna need a full respray?

[Citroënbender]

Great results, financially. I hope the past owner also enjoyed having them as he obviously preferred.

Only if they Don't like Blue..

Those prices are nuts

[78xcgxl]

Prices on everything is so crazy inflated. $310 for 3x XF ute taillights that are stuffed with cracks and holes sitting next to ford boxes. They are probably the old taillights that were removed from one utes and replaced with NOS ones. What kind of drugs do you need to take to make a purchase like that.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t genuine Ford seeing they were in Taiwanese taillight boxes.Presume they are still available new for $30-40 each.Then $1600 for pr of XB sed taillights.Think people get this,you won’t beat me metality,but it backfires on them when they stop tp realise what they have just done

How about the pair of XB sedan tail lights for $1600? The Ford parts boxes in the photo with them are two different sizes and I'm pretty sure those lamps are used...

On another note though, the old chap was obviously very fustidious. One of the lots is an Electrolux vacuum cleaner identical to one my mum had in the mid 60's. The one in the auction pic still had the cardboard box it came in. That thing is 60 years old!

Just amazing how well he looked after his gear. May he rest in peace.

Don't forget the 16.5% Buyers premium gets tacked on top of those Prices..

[sammo1]

Only takes 2 people to really want something, 'auction fever' takes over, and next thing your paying over 68 grand for an old falcon ute...

[LTDHO]

I watched this auction, I was floored with the prices that the items were selling for. The haters will hate but our Falc's are sky-rocketing in value!
