I deal with a lot of truck drivers from every walk of the planet. The most amazing thing is that once I start talking about cars, Australians don't realize that there are no Skylines here until I point it out to them. Must be awful to live in a country that looks over such a car :rolleyes:

Anyways, I've been told by many of them that the late 60s/early 70s Mustang is the Skyline of Australia. How much truth is there to this? I've been told that an average shape (early) Mustang can go for as much as $25k USD over there, and (if the right buyer is found) you could possibly make an even trade between the Mustang and the Skyline.

How much truth is there to this?

A Mustang here wouldn't be nearly as rare as a Skyline is over there in the U.S. (but still rare). You are probably about right on the pricing of average examples, although most of them have probably been converted to right hand drive for that price.

You could probably do a swap with a Skyline owner, depending on finding the right person of course....although the mustang owner might want some cash aswell as the older skylines are probably cheaper :rofl:

Here are some links to some pristine restored Mustangs for sale over here, look at the prices :eek: (multiply by 0.76 to convert to US dollars)
