Going, going and … and sold for $353,000! Ford has auctioned its final four registerable Falcons and a Territory as part of its final curtain call to Australian manufacturing.

While the last-ever models to roll off the Broadmeadows production line lack a compliance plate and will retained by Ford Australia as part of its heritage collection, the final registerable XR6 Turbo ute, Territory Titanium, XR6 Sprint and XR6 were – in that order – auctioned off at an event held at Avalon airport on Saturday.

Ford Australia president and CEO Graeme Wickman attended the event, which doubled as a Ford Fan Day at the airport south of Melbourne, with each Falcon and Territory up for auction scoring a signed certificate of authenticity and unique final build plaque.

Clearly buyers felt less attached to Australia’s only locally built SUV, with a flagship silver coloured Territory Titanium TDCi netting $68,500 – a relatively small $11,500 increase on its recommended retail price.

By contrast it didn’t take long for the final Falcon XR6 Sprint, a winter white example with build number 500 of 500, to sprint towards doubling that SUV’s final sticker. It quickly headed towards six-figures before more than doubling its $54,990 retail price, netting $122,000 from John Bradbury of the Sunbury Ford dealership, who also purchased the ute.
