I have always had the "hate the /love the" comments with my AU but everyone who drives it is always genuinely suprised at the performance, handling & how tight the car is. What were they expecting I wonder.If in 20-30 years time, people still like buying & fixing old cars (which I can't see changing ever) just by weight of numbers, a nice clean genuine 220kw AU will be worth plenty. Real GT's from the 70's were first to go crazy. Then it was mock up GT's. Now it's any clean car from the 70's. 6 cylinder XY Falcon 500 in poor cond up to $10,000. So based on this model, I think AU's will be very desirable. The reason I love them so much is that they look unique. Newer model Fords & Holdens often look very similar but the AU XR shape not only looks very different to the other Falcons in the stable but it looks nothing like a commordore. The Bathurst AUXR8's were possibly the greatest looking Ford touring cars since the Falcon Coupes of the 70's. Long live the mighty Ford Falcon.
