Hahaha damn good call Luke.

Yeah I reckon the colour is hot as fark. Black handles set it off for me.

In your face is how it should be! Just glad it's a bit less IYF than the red rims the black R-Specs came with.

Car number 500 from a batch of 500 was sold in a charity auction last month for $236,100 -- three times its RRP -- to car enthusiast Steven Clarke, from Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, who briefly owned one of the very first Falcon GT sedans, and has regretted selling it ever since.

Ford allowed the winning bidder to select the colour of the final Falcon GT and Mr Clarke chose a one-off "victory gold", the closest Ford could match to the original 1967 Falcon GT.

In an unprecedented move, Ford also allowed the winning bidder to help build the car from start to finish, including turning the spanners on the supercharged V8 engine in Geelong.

Mr Clarke even stamped his initials on the V8 engine, and fitted some of the parts to the car on the assembly line.

Meanwhile, Mr Clarke says he has already been offered $100,000 more than what he paid for the last Falcon GT but "it's not for sale".

Unlike many collector cars that get locked away, Mr Clarke says he is going to drive the final Ford Falcon GT and it will appear at car shows, so fans can enjoy it as well.

"It won't be a daily driver but it's absolutely not going to be locked away," said Mr Clarke.
