GT-HO MARKET

IF EVER there was a bellwether model for the Aussie classic market, it’s the Phase III GT-HO (more than the II). Many of these prime rarities change hands in private, so accurately gauging what’s paid for them is fraught with danger. That said we’re always intrigued by the number of people who claim to know the ‘real’ prices paid in supposedly ‘secret’ deals! The sensational part of the story is the apparent instability of prices through the global financial crisis of a decade ago. The top price paid was allegedly $900k, though the one we can verify was more like $750k. Those figures halved briefly and have now bounced back. For us the real news is how quickly GT prices have been gaining.
