Hi guys, need some help. A family friend has a 77 XC Fairmont Coupe. He bought this baby brand new and has an original 65000kms. When he bought it he tells me that it was a limited edition? and at the time he paid a little more then the equivalent of a GT or Cobra (cant remember). He reakons he was offered over $100k a while ago but not sure if he's pulling my chain...Anyway long story short he's interested in selling and wants to know the value of it..is there any XC that can command such a price? I do know the car and it is pretty much immaculate..blue with cream roof..sunroof, electrics etc.
Any help would be appreciated....Have some pics if that helps...
Thanks!

Cobras are only just starting to nudge the $100K mark and they are the most vauluable of the XC range. Unless the car in question is one of the special build bathurst Cobra prototype specials but they were all falcons, not fairmonts.
Sounds to me like t

Thanks mate, yes it is 5.8 and definately fully loaded. Is what he is saying correct? Could it have been that with all the options from purchase new price it could have been more expensive then a cobra?

I'm not old enough to remember prices back then but think of it like this. The Cobra was a gimmick at the time to get rid of coupe shells that nobody wanted. If only we had a time machine :( More than likely the fairmont did cost a lot more brand new

Mate if I had the cash I'd certainly be putting both hands up!!:) I wonder how many could have a verified less than 70000kms and one owner! Add to that it looks damned fine!!

I guess I'll tell him $40-50 then maybe...
Thanks everyone for your help
