Thread: Australian Falcons in Thailand

Hey guys.

In my travels through Thailand over the years I have seen a few Australian Falcons, and now living in the region for a few years I find myself in the position where hopefully I can track one down to buy.

For those who know what they look like, I've seen a quite a few XW's and XY's plus a few XA's. What I am after, and I know it could be a very long chance, is a Falcon GT of the XW/XY/XA/XB models. It doesn't even have to be running, I will look at anything that is sitting around, even wrecks.

Any help that anyone may be able to give would be great. As I said, I know it is a very long chance that there might be some out there, but if you don't ask you'll never know for sure.

Thanks.
Scott.

I thought you were talking about birds.

Dont think that there would be any falcon GTs in thailand.
Try asking ford of they exported any GTs.
Never seen a monaro either.

good luck

That looks like a cross between a Lotus Cortina and a yank muscle car... intersting.

Couple of hundred thousand USD and I can help you coz that's what they cost in mint condition I believe.

CAR collector Harry Christian has sold a Ford Falcon that cost $5000 new for a record $750,000.

i work in the automotive spares game these cars are like gold at tme moment along with monaro's had a few in my younger day's treated them like shit if only i knew.

Most expensive "ho" in the world !

theres a joint out here pressing new panels for XW/XY and fat ass coupes, i hear they looking to do full bodies as well.

As for actual vehcles, seen a few XR/XT coons around but never any later model ones.

There is a HQ Monaro Orange colour running aroud in Ratchaburi

I've seen a kingswood and a few comodes around Pattaya, not seen a Foul-coon though.

Long shot but two years ago there was a Falcon parked next to the police station in North Pattaya. It looked like it had been there a while, all dusty and dirty.

SAME HERE MATE ,,,MISS MY SHAGGIN WAGON,, SANDMAN PANEL VAN , PREM , TRICKED UP 5LTR, BAR IN THE BACK, LOVE SHACK ON WHEELS FRIDAY NIGHT, QTR MILE ON SATURDAY..MMM MEMEORIES

There is a mint looking XT coon for sale in Phran Kratai, drove past it today but did not get any pics it looked tidy though, can work out directions if anyone is keen.

Seen a late 70's statesman shell at a wreckers in Udon Thani.
I've seen FC holdens and Opals which holden copied off but never seen
a australian Ford falcon.


I wanted to bring this over.

An HQ monaro-thats amazing.

seen one Fairmont here - in Sa Kaeo province earlier this year, also a 2-door Falcon coupe mid 70s.
Two weeks ago stopped to look at an HG Kingswood near Chachoensgao, no sign of owner, appeared to be under restoration, lowered with huge fat mags, primer grey body in good shape. Stopped as i thought it was a 4dr Monaro - friend in NZ has one still (1974?) he bought 1979, 4dr with the 308 engine if my memory is right.

Yeh, been on to Ford Australia and they exported a few GT's over to Thailand but from what I have been able to work out most of them have returned. They have said that a lot of stuff was shipped privately as Embassy/Diplomatic cars but they don't have recordsmof these. So I'm hoping that there are still a few around.

Not worth that anymore as the market price has dropped. My XA GT (stored back in Brisbane) as dropped from an insurance market value of $160 000 a few years back down to a more reasonable $60 000 now. Good for buying but not good for selling.

Yeh, I'm following the progress on these new bodies and waiting to see the first ones as to how good they are. Could be worth buying one of them and working on it.

Hi. Would be really interested in the Falcon Coupe if it's still around. If your ever that way again would love to get a few photo's of it and contact details of the owner if you could? Would much appreciate it if you don't mind. Thanks. Scott.

we live SK, back there in a week or so - if I see it again will try for some details. The coupe really stands out in a place where most vehicles are pickups, and looks even bigger with a smallish Thai at the wheel.
