What we have done for this post is gathered historical gold prices and put them up against new Ford Falcon base model prices at the time of their release. We have then ordered them in order of ‘affordability’ as based on the historical gold prices (per troy ounce). Just a note, we were not able to source consistent gold prices in Australian dollars prior to 1975 so we have started with the XC Falcon and gone through to the FG-X Falcon.
