YOU can buy some fairly fun cars for $25,000. That amount of cash puts a Mazda 3 SP25 in your garage, or gets you within $500 of a Ford Fiesta ST

Or, you could have a single, crumpled, mostly green door off a 34-year old Ford Falcon.

More than three decades on, the mounted and framed collector’s item went under the hammer at auction, achieving a final sales price of $25,500.

Dick’s door wasn’t the most expensive piece of memorabilia to sell at the event, which also included a selection of Ford Falcon Group C race cars from the collection of John and Craig Harris.

Former race driver Neil Schembri spent more than $800,000 on a pair of XC Falcons.

The boss of Bettergrow, a fertiliser company, had a winning bid of $400,000 for an ex-Bill O’Brien Ford XC Falcon Coupe, and $430,000 for the XC Falcon Hardtop raced by John French and Warwick Brown at the 1978 Bathurst 1000.

Other highlights included a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback styled in homage to ‘Eleanor’ from Gone in 60 seconds, which sold for $101,000, and a 1973 Ford XA GT RPO83 attracting a final bid of $131,500.
