Default Re: The FGX as the ultimate enthusiast collectors falcon?

At the end of the day anything, and not just cars, will become "collectable" with time.

There are people who spend their weekends buying old furniture and crockery because they are "collectable".

EACH TO THEIR OWN!

Each Falcon will transcend into collectability, some more than others, as the years pass and especially now that production is all but over.

Stories of XY GT's being thrashed and unloved and unwanted in the 80's seem distant memories today as they are worth mega dollars.

Through the 90's it was the final X series that were seen as junk, now clean examples are sought after by those who grew up with them. That same analogy applies to each successive generation (E series, A series, B series and F series). For example I respect and appreciate X series GT's for all that they are but I grew up when the A and B series were the Ford pinnacle and as a result have bought F series as funds came available. Its these cars that I reminisce and remember. Its a generational thing.

I suppose what it all comes down to is if you "value" and enjoy your chosen model of Falcon, it shouldn't be shot down in flames because of its bumpers of badges.
