Current exchange rate is around 75 cents, so 72.5 cents is what you get, so that makes the car $64,000 Aus . Add the amount for the wharf and importer handling fees of around $1000, now we are at $65,000, add 10% gst, another $6,500. Now the cost just to get the car into Australia is $71,500. A firm in Brisbane who specialise in right hand drive conversions quote a price of $44,000 to do a RHD conversion for a Camaro, so thinking HSV would be doing the conversion for a similar price the cost of will be around $115,500. Add too this registration, stamp duty, and dealer delivery costs and luxury car tax(?) The cost is a fair bit more than $90,000. Maybe the $90,000 was the HSV are going to charge for the vehicle landed in Australia. Then RHD conversion will be on top of that price.

No way. I remember seeing the cost book on a Eb 2 Fairmont Ghia v8. List price was about $48000 optioned up and the cost price to dealers was about $30000 too dealers plus interest and government charges. So that is about 40 percent off. These cars will be very close to mustang prices I think. A relative of mine worked at ford for a long time and he said the cost price at factory of a el falcon in 1998. It was $9000. Drive away price was about $30000. There is a lot of money in cars. Don’t believe the criminals that sell them.
