There are also several small fords being offered back to the UK with shipping back to the UK included in the price.
 
By chance did anyone see this one get listed locally???? Would have been a great base.

Part of me is now regretting of cutting up two 2 dr shells 10+ish years ago. One was a L with a smashed rad panel, the other was a GL or Ghia with no floor. Though I did have fun with an axe and various power tools...
 
I guess with the classic Falcons being hard to get, people are going else where for their classics.

Looks like I was out by one letter (SA not WA) - this guy has 5 cars on eBay at the moment for delivery into the UK market.  Ought to be a law against it I say!

They're being pillaged from South Africa too. these pics up on facebook yesterday

wow. there goes our scene.
 

Its interesting all the Australian cars are 4 doors but all the SA cars are 2 doors. I read an old article recently on falcons written by a yank and me was amazed that our muscle cars were mainly (but not all) 4 door sedans. 
 

Womat I'd say there's plenty of 4door sedans in Sth Africa as well. But unlike Australia, there appears to be an abundance of coupes there!

Very true - Americans simply do not associate 4 door cars with anything remotely sporty.

I could never understand why anyone would ever buy a 2 door car, if there was a 4 door version available.
Nor could I understand why anyone would ever pay MORE for a less door (2 door) than a (more) 4 door.
And exactly why would any sane person pay a Kings ransom for a car that has NO roof.
All a bit of a con I think....

From speaking to a South African colleague who has recently joined our firm for a long term project, the Escorts are selling for crazy money over there, specially the coupes! The buyer is shipping them to Europe apparently.
 
He is also a fan of classic Fords and owns a Perana Capri and a MK1 Coupe in 'ok' condition needing a little work. He'd had been offered AU$ equivalent  $17'000 for the MK1 just recently!!!!  He declined.
 
Only a matter of time before the crazy prices reach our shores.
