I know of plenty of super clean T series & XR sedans/utes but people are not prepared to pay what the good ones are worth, yet.

Harder to find because idiots keep buying them only to drift or ruin. There aren't many people that want to keep them in good nick anymore.

I had an AU xr8 ute done up to the 9s years back with the v2 blower. I regret getting rid of it so much that 10 years later I've purchased another one in good condition to start the build again. This one I'm going a a 347 stroker with a turbo set up. Such a great car to drive, I actually look forward to driving it.

[@rodneymcgiveron]

I'm one of the 'nutters' who loved the look of the AU when it first came out in 1998.. I was driving a gunmetal grey EF Futura at the time which I liked a lot but when I spotted a 2 year old AU ll Futura in 2003 I had to have it .. 19 years on and the old bird is still humming reliably along ..barely ever has an issue . Everything still works except the power mirror switch ..even the clock light still goes .. One alternator , front brake caliper on left front but did both at a bit over $500 last year . Original radiator , A/C .. original power steering ...original everything except for a few mufflers/tyres a couple of light bulbs etc... Very minor P/S rack weep and front engine oil seal weep but barely noticible . Not huge kays because I also have a gorgeous FG XR6 and a Honda Accord that I drive a fair bit but the old AU now 21 years old is the sweetest thing still to drive...She's a beaut ...This tray AU XR8 as Jon describes a "dream car " ...Cheers

its growing on me eh lol still like the T series the best but yeh.. this was a mint ute

[@iva00005]

I remember over 10 years ago I saw an AU ex cab with over 800, 000 kms on it lol

[@barbraabsalom4531]

Only 800000 , it’s a baby ! , before I bought my au2 wagon 16 years ago , I did a lot of research on the durability of them at the local taxi repair shop & even then at 5 or 6 years old some of them had 1 million 200000 klm & none had ever had the head off or done a timing cover seal , just a couple auto boxes & a diff here there & the usual power steering pump which could leak onto the alternator . When I bought mine , I fitted a spill tray over the alternator when the pump leaked to stop it stuffing another . Still got it , 472000klm of hard domestic duties , years of short trips where the motor never gets hot , trips to Sydney towing a trailer with the engine running all day , then turn around & tow up to a couple of ton home . Many other small issues were created by some of the dickheads that I had servicing it , like putting spark plugs in that were over 10mm too short with a non genuine gas converter , car was a dog for 2 years , I blamed the converter but it wasn’t just the plugs . Stripping the sump plug in the alloy pan is common & then you need a genius with a drill & then tap on a ratchet in order to effect a decent length helicoil repair . Oil leaking from the belt tensioner mounting bolts after it was replaced , many mechanics don’t understand the mounting bolts go straight into an oil gallery & not a blind hole , so they need cleaning & aviation no3 sealant applied to prevent leaks . I don’t count things like harmonic balancer & cooling system components as they need attention on any car over time & I replace the whole cooling system on any car I own every 10 years . It had a water pump failure , a non genuine plastic veined piece of shit , after 3 years , the car was driven overheated for 3 klm , coolant spraying up all over the screen , put a genuine pump in , that was years ago , still runs near perfect , oh it needs engine mounts , bit of a bang happening when it’s started but they are 22 years old . Serviced properly & a bit of rustproofing especially if you live near the ocean & it sits at the boat ramp getting covered in salt a lot , they are nearly Indestructible in my experience , the much maligned au2/3 falcons , terrific cars .

[@RossReviewsau]

Easy work for an AU’🇦🇺😏

[@ricknel76nelson54]

You got it! It's hard to put you finger on, but there's just something special about the AU!

[@RossReviewsau]

I tell everyone who hates on them.. just get in one and drive it.. after the day you will love it

[@GeneralNOH]

Just the best falcon to actually drive spiritedly plain and simple. Maybe not the best Falcon overall, but definitely the best one to hit the twisties or the track with by a decent margin. The falcons that came after it are heavier and far less driver involving. The older falcons are a bit agricultural by todays standards and getting harder to come by. AU has the best suspension setup front and rear of any falcon ever made in the sedan. with proper double wishbone front and rear. (later models were downgraded to save weight and cost) it still has cable throttle and clutch for superior feedback and driver involvement. It is noteably lighter than BA onward, and has a much better weight distribution (BA Onwards is far too front heavy). It has the option of the windsor or the old SOHC, so you have the old school sounds which sounds better than any falcon after them. In saying that i have a lovehate relationship with my AU. In order for the car to be what it is for the price it cost back when it was made, unfortunately ford had to cut corners.

There’s heaps of autos around manuals now seem as rare as rocking horse shit. If there’s someone out there with a manual even in average condition in nsw Wales I would be really interested.
