very nice car. xf's are underated but have been the best selling falcon in australian ford history...
.quote "The Falcon XF sedan and wagon sold between October 1984 and March 1988 (modified to run on unleaded petrol from January 1986), with the Ute running through to March 1993. The handling and ride were described as competent, but the non-powered steering was heavy at low speeds with an overly strong castor action after performing a maneuver such as a U-turn. Power steering (and 4-wheel disc brakes) were made standard in 1986. It remains Ford's best-selling Falcon model to date; over 278,000 XFs were built. It was the first model since the XP not to offer a V8 engine." |

maybe if dicky had already passed on, and he had the almost maniacal following of brocky it would be a possible investment... and the end of the day its just a tidy xf, with $1000 worth of rims, $1000 worth of front seats and $500 worth of headlights. also if its virtually undriven since 98 then theres gonna be lots of tuning issues, they hate not being used. and i like xf's. |

so why are peter brock cars so valuable? Ok hes dead maybe thats why. but really isnt dick johnson as collectable as brocky? Theres no signature series on the xf but the signature is present on the log book. Brocks cars dont have this unless of course you go to his early personal collection and he may not even then have bought these from new. Johnsons xf is a real example of ownership. The price is something the guy wants to cash in on but not all of us can say we have a car that was owned by someone famous from new. I would love Elvis's pink cadillac he bought from new that would cost a mint compared to Dick Johnsons XF but it still has a special place amoung the Australian scene if you are a tru blu aussie.

the other thing is that brock had many different models within his brand. johnson did not. maybe one or two, but not much different to an svo, brock ford or others. it is hard to get excited about a brand, if they only produce 1-2 cars. the brock brand produced many and gives many people the dream of ownership, be they a vc, vk or others. the johnson brand does not have this lastly it is only an xf. so what if johnson sat his butt in it a few times. for a car to become collectible based on ownership, it probably needs to be collectible in the first place and an xf, no matter how good it was, is not that collectible |

Bit of mining, I know this is a very old thread but does anyone have any pics of this car, i missed the advert 10 years ago and google searches for piccys are coming up fruitless.
Btw certainly worth more than 15k these days, but I’ve seen front wheel drive Gemini’s for 10gs too…. |

Inter web search has produced and article on Pressreader that seems relevant but I can’t make the link go to the article, I tried signing up to press reader but still no luck.
Third link down the page, excluding videos, just in case anyone is interested. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=d..._AUoAHoECAEQAA Last edited by sirkwhyxf; 05-01-2022 at 03:49 PM. |
