An ultra-rare 1970 Ford Falcon XY GT in “barn find” condition recently sold at auction for $230,000 in Sydney, Australia. Over 400 bids were placed before the hammer went down.

I saw one of these on the street in Sydney in 1970 and remember thinking how can a FOUR DOOR Falcon be considered cool?? It did sound healthy though! - Bill W

He saw it driving down the street, turned around and followed the owner and ultimately bought the car. It made its way to Hinsdale shortly after that and was spiffed up a bit but was in remarkably good shape. I used to take it home for lunch (I lived 3 blocks away). As you can see it has one piece power side windows and a very custom one of grille among many other special features that you can spot when you pull up the Mecum add. Every day was fun at Classic Motors!

Have to agree Bill. I get supply and demand; but that car is just too plain and ugly to justify $230k!!!!
