Ford Falcon prices cooked my expectations today. Production ended in October 2016, almost 10 years ago, so I figured prices would’ve dropped low by now. I’ve always liked the Falcon for its look, so I went through 284 TradeMe listings to check current prices. Turns out I was wrong. A 2016 Ford Falcon G6e with 241,541km sold for just $13,500. But a 1974 XB GT Hardtop with unlisted mileage sold for $199,999, nearly 15x more, despite being 42 years older.

After going through all 284 listings, a pattern showed up. Prices don’t just drop as the car gets older; they actually bounce back once you hit the 60s and 70s models. Falcons from the 1990s to the 2010s are the cheapest of the lot. These were the daily-driver years, so there are heaps of them around, most with high km, and buyers aren’t chasing them as collector pieces yet. That’s why you’ll find a 2016 G6e for $13,500 sitting right next to a 2010 base model for $6,000.
But go back to the GT and Hardtop models from the 60s and 70s era, and the story flips. Ford didn’t make many of them, so surviving examples are rare. Add in low-km cars that were barely driven, plus the whole muscle-car reputation these models built over the decades, and you get prices like the $199,999 XB GT Hardtop or the $150,000 1973 GT.
Basically, the newer Falcons are common and used up. The classics are rare and worshipped. That’s the whole gap in one sentence.
If you’re after a Falcon just to drive, the 2000s to 2010s models are honestly your best bet: good condition, reasonable km, and prices that haven’t caught up yet. But if you’re thinking long-term or want something that’ll actually hold its value, the classics are where it’s at. A GT or Hardtop from the 60s or 70s isn’t just a car at that point; it’s basically an investment with a steering wheel. Either way, knowing where your Falcon sits on this price curve before you buy will save you from way overpaying or underselling something more valuable than you thought.
