Dan,

I'd estimate value around $5000 with reg and RWC.

Smooth car, drive more like an EF and less like a EB.

NA XR6 · 23-10-2006, 10:09 PM

2-4k i would say

Damo · 23-10-2006, 10:12 PM

nice sticker.

i'd say 3.5-4 k unfortunately people arn't willing to pay much for a decent Falcon these days.

niko · 23-10-2006, 10:16 PM

just motor and rims are 2k + it's clean!

mcflux · 23-10-2006, 10:21 PM

Wow that conversion looks tidy as. It's definitely towards the higher end of typical EB values. Unfortunately the buying public tend not to view mods (such as your XR6 conversion) as value-adding to the car. Well, not by much anyway.

I hope you get top dollar for it.

CaRtZ · 23-10-2006, 10:31 PM

id pay 4000 max... sure its ef in a eb n lowered but it still looks like a older car n 113RWKW is about stock 4 an ef....

it's an xr6 motor, head alone is worth 500

dansedgli · 30-10-2006, 07:33 AM

Is that special Niko prices :P

Ive bought 2 tickford heads for less than $350 each.

Still I would expect to get more than $4000 for that car. Its pretty mint!

Eh?

I sold the head for $350, threw in the rocker cover for free.

I think the rocker cover was working when it got sold as well.

Niko. I'm not taking away from the 'specialness' of an XR engine. But my $60 second hand wade cam makes 25rwkw more in a stock head, than what a stock XR head would flow. So why are they worth $500 again?

It's a nice car nudge. But in the end, the work you've put into it will only be appreciated by someone in the know. It's a standard car to someone who doesn't know.

original tikford item, bigger exhaust valves and better valve springs thats half the 500 there, usually rockers come with it and are around 100 in good condition so there is your money not even including the head itself

I'm sure the apprentice at tickford had fun spray painting the standard valve springs red

How much bigger are the exhaust valves? I have proof. You have hear-say without evidence.
