zoesgift · 06-10-2018, 09:57 AM

i hear you re the doors but find me a good 4V early xbgt and I wont complain about the number of doors!

**FairmontGS** · 06-10-2018, 07:05 PM

Yup. 'tis true

**73 4V XB** · 06-10-2018, 09:30 PM

Here’s something I might have missed. Why was it they made the P4 from a 4 door

i don’t recal any 4 door’s racing back then, the coops were all the rage

For those not following the auction.
It sits at $510k with 13 days to go.

**FairmontGS** · 07-10-2018, 07:42 AM

Because the coupe was released later in the XA range than the sedan I guess.

it would be nice to think they were going to offer the ph4 in both four and two door configuration

it has just cracked the million dollar mark tonight.

RHR · 12-10-2018, 10:42 PM

1.5 mill now

zoesgift · 13-10-2018, 09:58 AM

if I'm in a position to bid this sort of number, I'm pretty well off yeah? so I'm pretty good with my money yeah? ok that's an assumption. why would I, with days left in such an auction bid such numbers, when I could wait till the last hour to separate the men from the boys so to speak? id be interested to know how many of these bids are genuine bids from ppl who want the car?

HO 3 · 13-10-2018, 11:29 AM

I think many here have well underestimated how significant this car is in the scheme of things and how much it will eventually sell for!

Cheers Mick

Exactly.

Why in the world someone who has this sort of money and presumably brains would lodge a bid of 1.5m so far from the end makes no sense. You would have a limit and near the end if its not at it then bang. If its over your limit then reconsider or fold etc. Makes you wonder if there are vendor bids to get it up.

About 1.4 mil ago it sorted me, I'm definitely one of the boys, the men's pockets are waaay too deep for me

100% Mick. my opinion only, provenance is everything, im sure if any of the ph4s change hands, more information on their history will surface!

Having been to a number of auctions of various kinds, cars, collectibles, militaria etc, I have seen people do jump bids many times, just to lock people out and get the item.

I asked one of these jump bidders why he did it, his answer was very simple "I want it, I have the money to pay what I think it is worth, why stuff around waiting for low ballers?"

**73 4V XB** · 17-10-2018, 08:02 PM

yep it’s a X series falcon alright.

Nice bonnet gaps

pottery beige · 17-10-2018, 08:04 PM

race car gap

Channel Seven News ran a quick story on the vehicle, suggesting a price of +$3,000,000 !

I've seen the car up close, and the panel fit on it is pretty good. It's the narrow black stripe on the edge of the bonnet that makes it look like a Norm Beechey Monaro cooling gap fit.

Nice bonnet gaps

Ive had two Xbs and theyve both had bonnet gaps the same, bidding has slowed in the last day or so, I recken it might go for 2.5ml.

The thing I don’t understand is how a car with very minimal klm’s has such worn hinges, even the crud around the filler neck

An appropriate time for a screen shot

LG17 · 20-10-2018, 10:03 PM

The other GTs were passed in.

HO 3 · 20-10-2018, 10:03 PM

The seller would have to be happy with that. How much do Lloyd’s add onto that?

7.5% Buyer's fee ($150,000)

& they would be charging the seller a commission out of the sale price on the other end.
(I don't know how much percentage they charge.... possibly around the same again????)

That's not a bad double dipping fee.

GASWAGON · 20-10-2018, 11:44 PM

Who cares wot it cost.

Its the ONLY Phase 4 left.......EVER!!!!!!!!!!

I even saw an ad on morning t.v for it while watching the news before work the other day.
