The Shannons Winter Online Auction wound up last night, with some interesting results that shine a light on what Aussie muscle cars (and their replicas) are going for in the current post-boom market. We’ve picked our items of interest below; see the full list here.
VK Group A tribute: $86,000
This lovely Blue Meanie replica went for more than many were expecting in this market, perhaps reflecting the fact that it is jam-packed with genuine HDT goodies.
VH Group 3 tribute: $30,000
This VH SL/E in Group 3 dress-up was closer to what we’d expect to pay for a nice, non-HDT early-girl Commodore in this market.
HDT VL Group A: $134,000
In terms of genuine HDT cars, this lovely VL Group A #222 fetched decent coin for an honest car that has been used as the maker intended.
HK Monaro: $72,000
Bargain HK Monaros aren’t going to start appearing any time soon, but this base model will provide a sound foundation for a restoration or hot-up job.
XW GT auto: $160,000
Same goes for GT Falcons!
XB GT hardtop: $96,000
Likewise, XB coupes. This one will need a stack of work to get it back to show condition, but it still brought in the bickies.
Ford Ranchero: $15,000
At the more affordable end of the Blue Oval market, this 1960 Ranchero looked like good buying at $15K plus BP.
FPV FG F6: $33,500
This rock-stock Viper Purple F6 was showing just under 100km on the clock.
1968 Dodge Charger: $105,000
While Ford guys are paying almost $100K for resto-ready GT Falcon hardtops, Mopar fans can drive away in one of the most iconic shapes in muscle car history in much better condition.
Datsun 1600: $19,000
Someone has got a bargain, picking up this super-sano Datto for a song.
R34 Nissan GT-R M-spec Nür: $332,000
On the other hand, this GT-R well exceeded the guiding range, showing there is lots of life left in the high-end GT-R market.
Subaru Brumby: $20,500
Brumbys are having something of a moment, as the price achieved by this little beauty demonstrates.
