Ford leaves Holden in dust with $1.15m sale – Queensland Times
A legendary Ford has reclaimed bragging rights over Holden, snaring the title of the most expensive Australian-built car to sell at auction.
It’s got no aircon, no ABS and definitely no CD player, but a 1971 Ford XY Falcon GT-HO Phase III now has the record for the most money spent on an Australian-built car at auction.
Toppling a record set by a Holden just two and a half weeks ago, the pristine Ford sold for $1.15 million under the hammer, with the buyer also having to cough up a 5.5 per cent buyer’s premium.
Slattery Auctions asset manager Steve Waterman said the car was bought by a lawyer representing an anonymous buyer.
