Australia’s Rarest Car – 6-Door Ford XY Falcon


When it comes to rare cars, they don’t come rarer than a car that’s the only one ever made. That’s exactly the case with the Ford XY Falcon Wagon, a 6-door factory-built beauty originally made to order for TAA Airlines to be used as a courtesy car. Like the movie Highlander, there can be only one, and now it can be yours!

Key Ford XY Falcon 6 Door Wagon Highlights:

  • Singularity in Rarity: It’s a given – cars don’t attain a higher echelon of rarity than those of which only a single model has ever been produced. The Ford XY Falcon Wagon embodies this pinnacle of exclusivity.
  • Origin & Purpose: Initially designed and crafted for TAA Airlines, this 6-door marvel served as their courtesy car. A custom-built masterpiece, its existence is unparalleled in the realm of Australian cars.

Lloyds’ Grand Final Fever auction is presenting this unique vehicle, with the initial bid set at a mere $1.

  • Beyond the Falcon: Should this prized Falcon elude your grasp, fret not. The auction boasts a diverse array of automotive gems, from a pristine 1982 Holden Commodore Group III to a stored beauty, the 1977 4-door Holden A9X Torana, and even a race car with a legacy from Walkinshaw Andretti United Racing.

If the XY Falcon slips away from you, the auction offers up a nice selection of other prizes, including a 1982 Holden Commodore Group III in original and meticulous condition, a 1977 4-door Holden A9X Torana which has sat in storage for 15 years and a multiple podium finishing race car chassis built and run by Walkinshaw Andretti United Racing and driven by the likes of Courtney and Tander.
