The Last Australian Ford Falcon Sells For Huge Money



In 2014, Ford auctioned off the first and last GT F examples, VIN 001 and 500, to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation. VIN 001 sold for $157,600, and although it wasn’t even built yet, VIN 500 brought in $236,100. The original MSRP for these cars was $77,900. The first car was painted Kinetic Blue, but Steven Clarke, the winner of the final car, got to choose his exterior color. He picked Victory Gold as an homage to the original 1967 Ford Falcon GT.

Ford even let him assemble parts of the engine and have his initials stamped in. Before going through the paint booth, the entire FPV production team signed their names onto the car. The only way to see those signatures now is by using an X-ray machine. Before handing the car over the Clarke, Ford painted a second Falcon body in Victory Gold so spare panels would be available.
