Well, the SSS Blitz continues, with another spotted on carsales AU in Feb 2022, asking $35,000.. Seems to be the going rate for a good example, although I'd expect an immaculate original example to fetch over 40K..At the time this was advertised, the seller made the following comments: "1973 Datsun 180b SSS coupe. Original 1800cc motor, 5 speed gearbox, race suspension, weber carbies, cams...

And yet another 180B up for grabs - check it out here on Gumtree Australia, asking $35,000 AUD. This one was spotted in Feb 2022, and has undergone a decent restoration and also received some modifications including the popular SR20 engine swap.. Looks great. In the original advertisement, the seller made the following comments: Datsun 180b sss Sr20det Surge tank fuel cell Full bare metal respray...

Well we spotted another, this time on Gumtree.com.au, asking $20,000 AUD. The car looks fairly complete and solid but does need a restoration. At the time this gem was offered the seller stated the following: "Complete car but not running has a 200 b engine no rust resprayed 20 years ago been sitting in a carport covered since". That respray 20 years ago has probably saved the car from the crusher...

These used to be everywhere but now it's so hard to find one in good condition, that even the wrecks have become pricey. They are one of the best looking coupes of the 70s, but did suffer from tin worm and weren't exactly treated well by their owners it seems... This one came up on Ebay in February 2022 - 3 days to run and bids up to $10k. Despite the rust and extensive work needed to bring this...

This low km example of the BF GT Cobra is build number 078 of just 400 released. These were launched to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Moffat and Bond's 1-2 famous finish at the Bathurst 1000, and of course as a tribute to the 2-door hardtop Falcon Cobra coupe of 1978 - which itself had just 400 units produced. The one was advertised through a dealer in South Australia, and we spotted it on...

Getting another EL GT on the register - this one build number 178 of just 272 built, advertised on carsales.com.au in February 2022. The car has 120,000ish on the clock, and was asking $76,500 - most of these EL GTs tend to be $60k and upward. See the original ad here. At the time the car was offered, the seller made the following comment: "Ford Falcon GT 1997 Production No 178. Factory Sparkling...

Been a bit slack adding these GTs to the register of late - this is build number 55, and was spotted for sale on Ebay Australia with a buy it now price of $72,000 AUD. I absolutely love the bodykit on the EL GT - a bit more outrageous than the EB GT, and the rear end in particular looks so sleek and aero. This is one of just 272 EL GTs built (250 for Aus, 20 for NZ and 2 for South Africa). for...

I think this is the first Cobra we've got on the register - Build Number 372 of 400 ever produced. This is a Full matching numbers example which we spotted advertised on Ebay Australia in February 2022, asking $250,000. These cars have unsurprisingly shot up in value like so many others.. At the time the car was offered, the seller noted the following comments: "This Cobra is at the latter end of...

Spotted on Ebay Australia in February 2022, this Cobra pickup had a buy it now price of $95,000 AUD. Not really a bad price considering you probably wouldn't lose any value over the next 10 years, with the car having just 10,000km. There were just 100 of these Cobra utes built, and this particular example is build number 002/100. A piece of Australian motoring history. See the original...

Very rarely do you see these convertibles, and unsurprisingly this one has just crossed the $100,000 AUD mark on auction website Trading Garage. See the original ad here. With just under 15,000 miles on the clock and in immaculate condition, the car deserves that price. The sellers noted some interesting facts about its history: "The car originally started life as a Paris-built DS23 sedan ordered...

This very clean example of the 929 coupe was advertised on FB marketplace in February 2021, asking $12,500 - not too bad at all considering the low km and general condition of the car. These are a bit of a strange modern classic - and haven't taken off so much as some of the other 80s coupes like the skyline - probably owing to the fact that these were more of a luxury car than a sports car at the...

A few of these have come out of the woodwork recently - like most sellers, I suppose people are making the most of the exceptional prices they can achieve, while they can. Not sure how long these prices will last, but people seem to want over $40K for one of these now - something considered outrageous just a few years ago.. These are special cars - fitted with the same performance engine as the GT...
