Last Mitsubishi 380 went for 100k, you would hope the last Falcon GT would go for much, much more. I'd like to see them both crack $200k and #500 to approach $350k.

Owning build no 001 would be awsome for the following reasons:
* Your car has already made front cover of many magazines and newspapers.
* Your car is the first GTF that majority layed eyes on.
* Your car gave many erections accross australia.
* Your car will be featured and pictured in Fords history museum and books.
* Memory of the reveal day of the final GT will be remembered as yours.

That would be sexist against woman, only way to have one for prostate cancer is if there were at least 2 for breast cancer. Ain't equality grand.

When I first saw the "pink is the new blue" I was hoping for a wild plum GT-F...


I wonder if the GT-F 500 bid is higher because its not built yet, and not the one flogged by road testers? Or is it just for being the "last of the last"...

OK .......

What is the most paid for a brand new, Australian Made car direct from the factory? Will Number 500, the last GT, be the most expensive AU new car to date?

Or someone that just had a dream and had the cash and wanted to own their dream for once..
Either way it’s a fair price for a GT-F and shows how much they mean to some people.. lucky sole who ever it is, I’m jealous.

I can't decide if 157k and 236k are a bargain for the buyer or not?!?
I think #1 is on the money. Will be interesting to see the buyers and their intentions for the vehicles in the media commitments.
