ELGT #1 for sale

by **Russ.** » June 3rd, 2009, 12:23 pm

I stumbled on this earlier today (haven't seen it posed on boosted yet)

I thought about posing in For Sale section but since I'm not the one selling it i thought that may not be appropriate, but mods feel free to move if required.

I thought it was good for a look.
Enjoy

Nice car, but I doubt it would sell for $87,000... Imagen the kind of EL you could build for that much money!

Generally EL GT's seem to be around $40,000, I doubt people would pay double just for P001... hell, you could buy a GT for 40k and then buy an EL XR and build a monster with the remaining money...

Futhermore, who with that kind of money to blow even thinks of E-series?

wow!!! would be interesting to see if someone actually was willing to pay that !!! for 001.

by **ClassicAU** » June 3rd, 2009, 1:26 pm

Its a press bitch, sif it hasnt been thrashed by everyone who got in it! It's the Lindsay Lohan of GT's!

by **BROCKYB8** » June 3rd, 2009, 3:07 pm

Well im suprised that ford havent tried to hold onto something like this . being the first one .

by **StockEB** » June 3rd, 2009, 3:31 pm

I reckon David Bowden owns it, if thats the case then he doesn't give a shit about making money. I could be wrong though...there is another collector on the Sunny Coast, but I can't think of his name...?

Then again if Bowden owned it he would probably keep it, but he is known to keep vehicles in the condition they came from the factory or the race track.

by **SnyperEB** » June 3rd, 2009, 3:44 pm

I reckon that might be a little expensive!

by **-jjM-** » June 3rd, 2009, 4:37 pm

something about gts that really gets me off my seat, even if you had money to shower from a skyscraper, you wouldnt pay that much for a ELGT even if it was 001

by **Nikk O'lass** » June 3rd, 2009, 5:38 pm

i want an el GT :cray:

by **ClassicAU** » June 3rd, 2009, 6:45 pm

I am pretty sure I saw someone start a thread somewhere on AFF about this exact car, and what its worth to sell. Somehow I don't think it was Bowden though!

by **67rce** » June 3rd, 2009, 6:55 pm

It is Bowden selling it

by **Sunboost** » June 3rd, 2009, 7:00 pm

IIRC "P" cars were never used by Ford for testing. These were the ones given out to the press for thrashing and used for photo-shoots in the beginning.

The original test cars were codenamed HGT1-HGT4, and came in various guises from a bodykitted EL Fairmont to a cosmetically standard EF with full EL GT driveline.

It's all in the Project 064 EL GT magazine. I own a few copies.

by **Nikk O'lass** » June 3rd, 2009, 8:01 pm

The 'P' cars were pre production, totalling 11. The rest were labled GT1-GT239.

The p cars were largly used buy the press for evaluation.

P1 was left the ford line on the 3rd of feb and finished on the 18th by Tickford.

One of the Test cars was a Silver Fairmont...

Sunny, can you chuck some scans of the magazine up?

by **Mr. CVE** » June 3rd, 2009, 9:44 pm

I was under the impression the P cars were 'Pilot Build'

by **StockEB** » June 4th, 2009, 8:18 am

The car belongs to Chris Bowden (David Bowden's son)and was apparently GIVEN to him by his father. I have heard he was given an EB GT too.

...Must be a hard life.

Just found this while looking on carsales, didn't wanna make another thread.

I wonder if it'll ever sell, i'd love to own something like that though, it's soooo mint.

by **nstg8a** » November 13th, 2010, 10:34 pm

a few crazy numbers there.

204kms from new...

$115000...

by **rhys** » November 13th, 2010, 10:47 pm

Its nice, too bad about the front grille though. Now I know where they got the idea for the AU1 forte :doh:

As with the above posts this is even more over priced. In case ad is removed he is asking $115,000. For those kind of dollars Id be thinking more European.

Similar Money will get you 1994 348 Ferrari with only 25,000 on the clock.

The same guy designed the ELGT and AU.. lol..

If I had the money, id buy it, its in the best colour too!

by **rhys** » November 13th, 2010, 11:03 pm

He should be shot then. Must have been someone else who did au2 / b series then. With the revamped front end it has similar lines to ba. Too bad they didnt change the head lights earlier and square them off like a non xr b series.

by **EF ECTIV** » November 13th, 2010, 11:37 pm

I love the el gt as much as the next guy but 115k is crack prices. Although I guess it only takes one rich collector...

by **slammdeb** » November 13th, 2010, 11:53 pm

everyones havn a crack at the prices but look how you pay for a xa or xb gt or even xy ive seen some go for as much as 1 mill you think about it if you bought no:1 and left it in your shed for the next 20 years how much would it be worth or even number 87 mate if i had that kinda money i would have bought it along time ago and as for ferrari well there worth fuk all really and never will be worth more than what u pay now well the enzo maybe

pretty sure the record for a phase 3 was 750-800k, and theres no way in hell a el gt will ever fetch that sort of coin.

you can get a good xa or xb for much less than that #87, even good xy gt's can be had for less. theres a very nice rhino xy gt on aff now for 60k.

prices have come back a lot in the last 18-24 months.

by **slammdeb** » November 14th, 2010, 12:01 am

yeh but still u hold any one of these cars for 20 years in a shed and dont drive the thing and you would be getting more than what you ever expected for it

by **nstg8a** » November 14th, 2010, 12:06 am

i honestly cant see the el gt going up much more than current prices, and thats a lot less than that el gt.

the eb gt and el gt will always be collectable, but that doesn't necessarily mean high prices.

if you had 100k floating round to play with, and wanted a return in 20 years there would be better options.

me, id wanna drive the sucker, and that will ruin its value.

Pretty unlikely mate. What has the the el gt ever done? nothing. Nobody cares and people would probably just think youve put a body kit on unless they know there fords.

The reason the phase 3 is worth so much is because of its racing pedigree.

Being rare or old does not always equal being valuable, its gotta have some sort of history.

slammdeb wrote: and as for ferrari well there worth fuk all really and never will be worth more than what u pay now well the enzo maybe

Hmm you need to do some research mate. Ever heard of the Ferrari daytona? The list of ferrari's that have gone up in value is probably 10 times longer than fords.

Also please find me a proper ferrari that is worth less than an equal age ford? Apparantly they are worth 'fuk all' and I wanna know where this is???

Tricking himself but an awesome looking car though

by **[Sterling]** » November 14th, 2010, 9:56 am

You **** are crazy. I think the look amazing! Its over the top and pretty different from every other falcon. <3 EL GT's

by **Sunboost** » November 14th, 2010, 9:57 am

I think I'd put $115k on it if it was mine.

Too many armchair critics here. They say that's a rip-off, but they'll want to sell their EB S Pack 5 speed with pacies for $6500 with no RWC tomorrow.

by **Sunboost** » November 14th, 2010, 10:11 am

P.S I just noticed EL GT's don't hv a bonnet lining.

by **pHaT`eL** » November 15th, 2010, 5:18 pm

Probly cos of the bonnet scoop/engine cover

If I was a loaded ass collector I'd probably knock him down to $90k.

by **SnyperEB** » November 15th, 2010, 9:04 pm

If I could afford it I would not hesitate at all to buy it
