I'll be surprised if any huge number goes here but will be interested for the sake of it when the hammer hits.

says auto on webpage and is a manual. Surely manuals will be worth a heap more than autos in the future you would think.

Exactly. There are some brand new Sprints on carsales which have been for sale for many months by private sellers. I suspect these were purchased and stored to make some coin but nada so far:

I have a black sprint manual. It’s the best falcon ever produced. And will never be repeated. It’s not the best car ever but by far the best falcon.

Wonder what the story is, as there is also an XR6T ute with 68km and an XR6 ute with 54ks.

I was thinking the same thing too. Could be from a dealership that's closed down or maybe from a private collector.
