Don't you think that time is near on over, thats to say what the mid 20's of today on won't even care of them for starters but associate with the plastic GT's/F6's/Sprints etcetc....
Just food for thought for all you "experts" of old and I know better.
I grew up the era myself, none of my kids give a toss of the HO and in part to some the "GT" fable whilst at it, and believe me I have have talked and talked about the late '60's '70's being the golden eras but mean jack shi T to them.
Don't under estimate the future plastics (I6T etc) - don't care what they maybe worth but things like the HO may last forever (to a small minority) but most in the future won't give a damn.
Times do change - factory is closing for eg.

I'd better relay that information to my 14 to 17 year old automotive students who love the old muscle cars, and to the young grade 12 miss who bought a restored XK ute for her first car...

Oh, no doubt there are exceptions to the rule, minimal but true.

Watch this video, you have 7 days to buy one before factory shuts.

Watch this video, if you don't have a i6t or supercharged 8 it's now or never. Forget the old models, this is where it will be at...forever.

Nice power no doubt ans im sure a real handful to drive but collectors / enthusiasts usually look for absolutely stock or very mild modded cars. At least the mods dont effect the factory feel of the car. (Wheels, mild tune, stereo kinds of mods)

To them excessive mods is a bastard car (despite how impressive power or specs they have)

Collectors love the word genuine, original etc

G'day , I saw this video a month or so ago , yep some beaut examples for certain.. I WISH I could afford an FGX before October 7th.Much more mundane expenses such as eating , electricity , insurances, rates, house repairs and paying off my FG XR6 get in the way ..Maybe Tattslotto will give me one last chance tomorrow night..On the phone first thing Monday morning to buy one if that miracle was to happen...No joke either..In fact I'd buy two if I could find them somewhere in OZ..one of each XR6 and XR8 ..Ecstasy that would be.
If not my FG XR6 and AU ll will do me for a while ..Love them both.. Cheers Rod
