2023 Market Review - Ford Falcon/Fairmont XR-XY V8

Early in the year we saw some silly, six-figure asking prices for these cars, however commonsense is returning.

That means XR-XT Falcons with age correct V8s at $50-60,000 and Fairmont V8s at under $89,000. Later XW-XY models were scarce and some averages don’t reflect the money available for very good cars. A lot of V8-engined utes didn’t begin life with an eight-cylinder motor, so caution and checking of build plates is essential.

If you do find a genuine 351 (5.8) four-speed painted in its original colour though, the value could exceed $100,000. Well and truly beyond that figure and now very hard to find are authentic ‘K Code’ XY Fairmonts which have the potential to reach $200,000.

Scarcity is due in large part to witless former owners who destroyed the cars’ provenance by turning them into GT Replicas.
