10 Years Ago

[inter]

10 years ago this following model was produced. This model was special for many reasons.
It was the first australian 1:18 model that most australian die cast collectors, car enthusiast, and anyone with a passion for the 70's could relate to. I am sure that many people purchased this mode 10 years ago not knowing what the are getting them self into.
on a personal note i have been collecting model cars since the early 70,s but this was my first 1:18 scale car, and at the time I purchased 2 of them, One for me and one for my son. I have purchase one more since for my other son ( 2000).
enough of my jibber.......here are some facts


July 1998 :
#22721 - 1:18 Ford XY Falcon GTHO - Track Red - 5,000 pcs in window box.
All of these models have external mirrors on both front doors.
This is the first ever 1:18 scale diecast model of an Australian car.



current value last 20 average is $546

record sale = $2500 feb 2008
lowest sale = $78 april 2000 ( my purchase :D)

This is a tru classic and will stand in time as such?
currently the value of models cars is dropping due to external forces ( economy, fuel prices, less expendable income) but this model is still going strong.

[HQGTS74]

$78!!!!! well done mate...its good to see this model is holding its value:) as it is very special

[Road Runner 72]

I never really looked at it & thought of the $$$ its worth, but you are right about what it started as it was a car I pre-ordered from a flyer in the Gamesworld at northland & was thinking if I'm about to waste $120 on a toy lol, never did I know the hobby was going to cost me well over $10k in 10 years.

Good on you Inter for starting a 10 year thread. Can't believe you have time for kids and this thread :p. Bet you get them to do all the hard work for you... jokes

In either 1996 or 1997, Trevor showed acouple of prototypes in a Modelcarshow in South Perth to gage reactions on if they were saleable.
I remember this very well and was the birth of the Biante enterprise in earnest.
One was a red one and the other was a white one, the back doors were not of the openable variety and was still worked on to make it happen.
Looka a the collection now!!

And it would appear someone shares the 'first model' passion although his prices arnt consistant with yours :)

inter
thank you , your information is truly amazing.
and it is great that you find time for the family and hopefully other things.
i first saw this model in a TV lift out magazine and wanted one.
to no avail sold out everywhere, finally managed to get one some time later.
swapped a rare factory model of a Fokker F27 aircraft for it with no regrets.

[fatty]

Me too. A mate bought 3 for investments. Sold out when I went to Sherriffs. So I pre ordered the Moffatt 65E. And the rest is history.

Inter,

Thanks for all your hard work done to date it is very much appreciated (even by those who say they'll never sell {however circumstances may change})

Keep up the good work.:cool:

Trevor presented the WA GT Club with one of the first 2 pre production run red cars and it was auctioned at the GT Nationals that year held jointly by the SA & WA clubs (about 2000?) I think that one went for about $2100-2200 at the time with proceeds going to charity. It was very generous of Trevor to release one of the companies first cars in this way.

I guess this model has special meaning to me, it was the first model that i really showed off and displayed to many people coming over to my place ( i did not get the chance to display my model cars in full till 2006).
i kept all my models in boxes for nearly 10 years only rotated a few.........back on topic.
This is the models that introduced collection to some of my friends and even and it evoked many momories of my 30 something (age) friends

Finally a diecast manufacturer can bring back many happy thoughs in a well defined scale replica that was big enough ( 1:18 to touch and feel)

This it the model that sealed my full appreciation of 1:18 scale cars ( thank you Biante). It was the first Allan Moffat model and also the first racing model produced. This was and probably is one of my top 5 fav models and at the time it was the model. I am sure that many die hard racing fans have been dreaming for a company to produce a racing model that evoked their fondest memory, Both Holdnen and Ford fans . It reached a high in vales in 2006 and many eager collectors paid more than that for one. Since then CC has produce a copy model and it has influenced the average value of this car. But to me the CC car does not have the charm of the Biante model ( not CC bashing, just my opinion)

[fatty]

Good to see you back Inter. This was my very 1st biante also. Very special to me as well.

[Maq]

Welcome Back inter. You are a great asset to this forum with or without your averages.

[HQGTS74]

This it the 3rd road Ford made by Biante and for the first 5 year it was not a very popular model. In 2003 the model suddenly increase in value ( less available) and many people tried to capitalize on this in the following years. It is currently the same value as it was late 2002 and still looks like dropping.
On a personal note, I have this model due to the fact that it is part of a theme I collect………but this is my least favorite of the road going falcons ( no offence Biante). I basically dislike the colour.

Record sale $300 Sept 2008

In May 1969 the first of the XW GT's rolled off the Broadmeadows assembly line. Ford had upped the ante with the XW by fitting the 351 cubic inch (5.8 litre) Windsor V8 with an output of 290 BHP (217KW) and 385 ft/lbs. of torque. With bigger brakes, a final drive ratio of 3.25:1, a huge 36-gallon (164 litre) fuel tank and suspension modifications to take the extra power and torque, the XW seemed to be the ultimate Grand Tourer.

Can not belive that this model is now 10 years old, how time flies. As most models will go up in value this has gone against the trend. Still relatively cheap and easy to get. A must for any ford fan

This was the first road going torana produced by Biante in 1:18 scale,

Pricing has been steady, it had a spike in 2007 ( like many models) but has since stabilized. I don’t currently own one of these models so some one my want to add to this topic ( who owns one, maybe a photo)

This was the first road going torana produced by Biante in 1:18 scale,


err, I thought the March 17th (green) LJ was the first 1:18 Torana (road or race):confused:

[hobby]

err, I thought the March 17th (green) LJ was the first 1:18 Torana (road or race):confused:

Hi Leigh,
going by memory which can play some tricks at our age!
The Brock 28c was the first Torana produced.
The March 17th Green was the first road car, the Mustard was released a short time later.

[Richard Poole]

Leigh is correct. The green LJ Torana was the first Holden we produced. The 28C Brock car was released 2 months later, followed by the Mustard Torana two months after that.

[inter]

yes you guys are correct the mustart was the second road torana produced, my bad,

it would be nice for someone to post sime pics of this model for some of the newer members

In May 1969 the first of the XW GT's rolled off the Broadmeadows assembly line. Ford had upped the ante with the XW by fitting the 351 cubic inch (5.8 litre) Windsor V8 with an output of 290 BHP (217KW) and 385 ft/lbs. of torque. With bigger brakes, a final drive ratio of 3.25:1, a huge 36-gallon (164 litre) fuel tank and suspension modifications to take the extra power and torque, the XW seemed to be the ultimate Grand Tourer.

Can not belive that this model is now 10 years old, how time flies. As most models will go up in value this has gone against the trend. Still relatively cheap and easy to get. A must for any ford fan

This was one of the first model cars I ever bought. When I saw it I could not believe a company was making 1:18 scale Australian Muscle cars. I never really liked the traxx cars, they just looked odd to me.
Anyhow I swapped my Grecian Gold XW for a Johnson Tru Blu XD Bathurst Winner.... not a bad trade looking back now.

[Maximus]

You should ALWAYS keep your first model.
Thats what started it all.
I still have my Track Red XY GT and will never sell it.

If the Track Red was my first model, i gaurantee i would still own it.

[Numark83]

I did work experience at a model shop in Sydney in 2000 and they had a Biante Phase 3 1 18 in that mustard yellow colour with a broken aerial and no box/certificate. They gave it to me as a Thanks for work experience and I sold it last year for $200+

Didn't expect a lot for it, but it just shows how valuable those cars can be. I didn't keep it because it didn't go with what I'm collecting these days.

Up and down, that's the price trend due to CC's introduction of their 64E which retailed at $215. If the CC's version did not exist, this would be an $800+ model car today. I know of people who paid $1250 for the 65E.
Thanks for the info Inter.

similar with Alan Moffats 1:18 77 ATCC only 12 to 18 months ago you were lucky to find one under $260, now you can't give them away thanks to CC flooding the market, one sold recently on ebay for $92

Very happy seller me thinks with that one ;):D

[Mixalis]

Really wasnt expecting that since maybe a couple of weeks ago one sold for $1700.... You wouldve thought that the highest bidder of the $2500 auction would have placed bids for the earlier one... But anyway

Im not sure but did you guys read the description of the model? He xplains why some came in twin mirror and others in single. From what i understood, basically, Biante needed to show their models since Track Red was sold out instantly so they got 134 track red and painted em white. Then the remainder was the moffat one (i think) which was obviously single mirror...

Jeez has it dropped that much, have not looked at prices for models for so long... I remember paying about $460 for this a few years ago and that was a good price.

Also remember paying $600 for the 65E when it was fetching $1000-$1200. Have it sitting in the cupboard with the CC version on display... sigh... Was my holy grail in the day.

Yeah well Classics saved me on this model. I didn't want to pay the big bucks for the Biante version, as I missed out on the initial release. Classic C's sure have turned the value of some of the cars on their head. Sad really.

I think if Biante worked on advertising that their models are collectable not just for sentimental reasons but also for investment then maybe models will not go down as much??????
Just Maybe?

the could work on volume numbers ( lower), possible quicker reaction time for release and also informing customers/members on current values.

advertising and informing potential buyers on current values and selling as an investment would leave Biante open to litigation. Licensed real estate agents are forbidden to sell homes on this basis. An agent cannot tell a buyer that you should purchase this home because it will be worth double in 10 years (even though it's true on most occaisions)... The do gooders of this world have us all treading on eggshells

Yes true.....but they are not selling second hand models they are selling new.

This is like telling coin collectors they are not allowed to state that the 1930 penny is worth a fortune.

I bought the Yellow Ochre a month or two ago for $150. I love the model, (especially the interior trim) but the only thing was mine had antenna problems (made a thread ages ago when i ought it). The antenna moves way too easily when you touch it.

Now ive got it on display and to this day surprisingly the antenna hasnt budged. I bought the perfect glue for it as well just in case the day came when i needed to repair it. (I ended up getting $20 refund from the seller as well when i told him about the problem). So technically i got it for $130 :P!!!!

I can respond to this question, i used to respond to all of them until my threads got moved to the Buy and sell section.
That caused a whole pile of new posters to use the info tomake profits.

I can continue to provide a similar service to what i used to if it helpfull.

So I ask fellow members,

Would you like me to provide this service again?
Would it be helpfull?
would the moderators like it?My only issue is responding to members who have just a few post and or members who do not contribute to the forum but just take and take......but i think i am ugly and enough and big enough to tell them were to go????

basically it is up you guys? I have not stopped gathering info...i just dont shared it around any more

[Damage]

I can't speak for the moderators, but I for one used to read your MVs with interest and have missed it and wished the plague on the members that made you stop. It's not a giant part of the hobby for me, but I'm sure I'm not alone in enjoying your contributions mate.

In the past, I offered a bit (not much) to the members here and allowed a few idiots to spoil an enjoyable thing. They aren't worth thier weight in poop, tell them where to get off.

[malscar]

Ric, I did also love reading your stats, but did think towards the end that people were demanding too much and some were not very appreciative of your time.

I think the best way to answer your question is to say, do what you feel comfortable with. If you decide to start posting the figures again and it gets too much, then stop. This is something you should enjoy and not feel to be a chore.

[Brasha]

I agree with Damage and Malscar.

I was very disappointed when you stopped posting your info, but I do, as I did then, totally understand your frustration and reasons for doing so.

It used to make my blood boil when I saw the way some people demanded information. So I cant begin to imagine how it must have made you feel.

Personally your average prices were (and still are) fantatsic ammo when it comes to trying to justify an Ebay purchase to the Wife:D. So I would love to see your invaluable info once again grace these pages:)

keep it up, i wouldnt have a copy of your spreadsheet if it wasnt for you. Its a valuable tool and helps me keep an eye on things on my own. But in the end its up to you what you do.

inter, i agree with everyone else, i miss it but i understand why you did it.

[FastRedCars]

G'day inter (or Ric, if I may). I must have joined this Forum about the time you stopped providing your regular "Values" service....I now recall having seen your "10 years ago", etc, posts, then they ceased appearing.....now I know why. But I, for one, am happy to see them return, since you ask. Not that I actually use the info in any material way - I collect what I collect to collect them, not to resell nor make a profit. But it is nonetheless very interesting to read and muse over - and since you're doing it anyway, some of us enjoy that you share it. As for people that get demanding - send 'em a PM, and tell 'em to go bite their........! That's my 2c worth. Cheers, Jim.

[<Jonboy>]

perhaps make yourself up a mailing list of the people you are happy to do it for, and distribute just to them every 3 months or whatever? It limits people asking at least.

I've trawled through your previous posts to get pricing for everything i have a possible interest in down the track when $$ are available and made up my own spreadsheet, although the prices are now over a year old :D

[nrma dave]

gady inter. ive used some of your prices for my insurance valuations, its proved very reliable.

[singer]

Ric,

I've alway found your posts to be a valuable resource.

I've always found your Averages to be accurate esp for prchase & insurance purposes.

I for 1, would be pleased if you'd start to post again as some of the quips were amusing;)

As has been already said, do what you feel comfortable with.

Many thanks for your help in the past (esp the provision of the recent CD):)

Cheers

[Macdee]

Thanks Inter, I Guess I'll give the A9X another wipe down and put her back in the cabinet.

[00lowndes]

Thanks Inter. I agree with everbody else. I have found you info very helpful with regards to insurance. I too think do a list for those that appreciate the great effort you put in and email them 2 or 3 time a year would be great

I too agree with all the comments and views and after last weeks earthquake,I'm going to be in need of your findings for insurance purposes.So if you are happy to do, keep doing.

The value of certain modles baffles me. You would think this model, being the first Biante V8SC would be a valuable model.

The value of certain modles baffles me. You would think this model, being the first Biante V8SC would be a valuable model.

I'm with you - some that you'd expect to be "high demand" just don't seem to have much of a market, and vice versa. And it doesn't always seem to relate to how many were produced. Also, the fluctuations, over the years, that some models have is interesting (witness the Moffat XC car that "inter" posted up, after the post that you commented on). Other cars have a fairly flat line over the years (some consistently high, some consistently low) EG the Skaife car in the same post.

It's no wonder that Biante find it difficult to match the limit of the release, to the actual market demand. (Good example: [in comparative road car models] there were more, IIRC, Walky 1:18 GpA VL's than HDT 1:18 GpA VL's produced [and in 1:1, both are famous/collectable, both won Bathurst, etc], and the two 1:18's are of similar quality - yet the Walky is valued above current RRP's, and the HDT is being off-loaded at Autobarn at almost half current RRP for a Biante 1:18. How would you estimate the release limit ? It would be interesting to spend time with "inter's" stats, and try to determine if there is a pattern, and if so, what it is !!

there is a pattern,
with out CC ( copy releases) influence i general;

Brock, Moffat and Johnson cars go up in value
Race cars 25% of releases go up about 15% stay static and the remaining 50% go down ( i general)
road cars 7% go up in value 12% stay static and 81% go down ( 53% actually go down by double)
the 4th year after release is 78% of the time the peak year

Wow, thanks for that - very interesting ; and with over half of road cars dropping by half - don't hold our breaths for new road cars requiring new moulds, I guess (sigh).

Interesting, once again, Inter.
These last few posts show fairly high release numbers back then. Out of interest, what sort of number limits do the recently released V8SC's have by comparison ?
Just wondering if the release numbers 10 years ago were a bit optimistic, compared to actual sales, and compared to more recent "limited number" releases.
Cheers, Jim.

[Still ferrari fan]

And this same model was made by CC as well as the "Drive bye" model.
Compared to the biante edition is is a "PIG of a model"In the same batch as the CC 1999 BH winner.
windows thick as jam jars.
I still have the "Preamble brochure" promising sensational modelling featuring this very model!
One thing, CC has been consistant over the 10 years!!.
With some great models produced as well to muddle the waters.

Never mind, great work yet again, Inter, much appreciated.
This should be a standout model on par with the Brock / Plate model

You do an extremely good job inter and it is an asset to have you on the forum doing this job.

#22726 - 1:18 Ford XY Falcon GTHO Phase 3 - Vermillion Fire - 6,000 pcs in window-faced Biante Classics box with woodgrain style baseplate.......This model has been in the top 50 for two months

I'm assuming the recent release of new XY's has had a detrimental effect seeing it was released at the time as "the last" Biante GTHO
