Auction - Real deal ESP 351 four speed

[Pedro]

Just saw this on Survivor Car Facebook ... https://www.facebook.com/SurvivorCar...296659/?type=3

That will pull some $$$$$

[Pepscobra]

That is awesome. No doubt will pull a big figure.

Side note: Remember the fake mud in a bucket you could buy for your 4WD?
SuperCheap should invent fake 'dust in a can'. Barn finds seem to be the current craze.

Seen this and was pretty keen to add it the collection at the right price but they dont have an online auction option that i could find which makes it hard

[CJR09]

whats big for these in todays market? 40-50k?

[jmack]

Not with those ks and a stuffed motor and who knows what else

[gossy]

This may help.

Some cool cars for Auction.

[wodahs]

yer I might go check it out seeing they got a wheelbarrow there for sale

edit :~

7hp Sunshine stationary engine, wheelbarrow, 1982 XE Ford Falcon Ghia esp 5.8L 4 speed not running water in engine oil

[GASWAGON]

Awesome find!!!

And its Red (Not Silver like many we're) and 351 + Manual too.

And it appears that ALL original parts are still there even the ESP Wheels !!!!

Just spoke to the agent. He seems to think it will go for over 50k, had over 600 people interested.

People coming from Perth melb and Sydney

I think the 7hp stationary motor would like great in the shed .

[NGN 351]

one recently went through auction and was as new and made $40k

[Falcon SXR8]

According to Facebook it went for $111 000 not sure if true

[Pepscobra]

If that's true, that's just insane.
Don't tell me we're in another muscle car boom?

[Rob 351]

I just heard 111,000 also.

[EDManual]

yes its true, saw the video

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FFa lconGTClubGeelong%2Fvideos%2F570863100014102%2F&sh ow_text=0&width=267" width="267" height="476" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

that didnt seem to work!

Go to facebook and look up "falcon gt club geelong" they have the video on there.

[gossy]

That is madness.

[FPV414]

There's a couple of videos floating around. Confirmed - this one did do $111,000.

This one seems like much better value now. $87k.. 77,000KM unrestored.

[Sep 97 EL XR8]

Would love one but not at that price.

[Sep 97 EL XR8]

I wonder how much to get the car going after spending so much?

Heaps.

Does anyone know who bought it?

[Pedro]

My OP information was from Survivor Car and checking their website today confirmed the car sold for $111,000 and that a bidder with 4 of these cars pulled out of the bidding at $60K.

[Sep 97 EL XR8]

Is there anything special about the car (other than Esp 5.8 4 spd with power windows and premium sound)

The car has definitely got all the options, but wS it owned by Moffat? Engine limited edition HO? Etc

I know the car was not going to be cheap (I thought 40-60k) but not 111k

Is there anything I’m missing

111k plus what - another 50k to restore it?

I hope the new owner isn't looking for a return on investment anytime soon, but then again, who knows...

[FPV414]

Also keen to know if there's some history behind this car that we're unaware of. In comparison to other cars recently, this one has totally gone beyond the realms of what I thought was a realistic value. It will now possibly set a precedent for the old '51 XE's.. considering the other one I put up was $87 in original, mint condition.

[xxx000]

There was obviously at least 2 people interested and prepared to pay around $100K for it
Amazing price
