But mechanically there the same as an f6. Just look alot better and have held there value well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 6m 22d Gender: Not Telling Posted 06/04/11 08:22 AM Share Posted 06/04/11 08:22 AM The Force 6 is a rare car probably because it was $10000 (RRP $71590) more than an F6. It wasnt considered to be good value. That said it probably is the the most collectable Turbo Falcon built to date. How much are they asking?

PLAYRZ Donating Members 333 Member For: 20y 4d Gender: Male Location: VIC Posted 06/04/11 08:54 AM Share Posted 06/04/11 08:54 AM Henz is correct, the Force 6 is mechanically the same as the F6 and only available in 6 speed auto. In the cosmetics department it has colour coded body kit (with bobtail on bootlid) & chrome driving light surrounds. Interior was only available in leather (either charcoal or regency red), upgraded steering wheel, woodgrain inserts on door and dash & chrome handles. Seating is the same as Fairmont Ghia (8 way power) with FPV embossed on the headrest. The vehicle is fitted with almost everything, only options available were towbar, sunroof, satnav & 6 pot brake upgrade.To my knowledge less than 100 Force 6's were built. I have heard a few numbers thrown around, apparently they were not numbered sequentially and only 69 were ever made but I owned build #80, so who knows for sure? In my experience they have not (and will not) retain any real value even with the limitied numbers produced. I purchased mine in 2007 as new and traded it late last year for $30K (56XXXkms on the clock) in excellent condition. It went on later to sell for just under $40K which was only a few thousand (if that) more than a similar spec F6 or RSpec. IMO the Force series was a parts bin special before the release of the FG. There was only limited numbers made because there was no market for them not because they were "special" or "limited". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marketed towards the Senator buyer, that is someone that was less pretensious, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYRZ Donating Members 333 Member For: 20y 4d Gender: Male Location: VIC Posted 06/04/11 09:15 AM Share Posted 06/04/11 09:15 AM (edited) Dont get me wrong, the Force series is a fantastic car, thus why I purchased one, but I wouldnt consider them collectable. If they had done something a little more with the interior to make it feel a bit more special and upmarket to justify the extra $10K over the F6 then perhaps they would have done better???Case in point....

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 6m 22d Gender: Not Telling Posted 06/04/11 09:38 AM Share Posted 06/04/11 09:38 AM Historically collectability is often based on numbers produced, therefore I contend that this vehicle will become sort after will time. However,this is only an opinion, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
