A 49-year-old Ford Falcon, dubbed by many as 'Australia's rarest car' is set to go under the hammer in an auction that could rake in millions. 9News

Mr Hames said his auction house has been flooded with enquiries since the vehicle first appeared online.

"The story behind this car is just as special as the car itself. Winning numerous awards and featuring in auto magazines all around Australia, it has received great attention already, with enquiries flooding in since being published online," said Mr Hames.Fastidiously restored over eight years, the Falcon features an eight-cylinder 351 Cleveland engine, an 8ft chrome roof rack, four disc brakes, full Fairmont trim and factory integrated air conditioning.

While many would assume the vehicle would be lovely polished by a Ford fan, many believe the one-off will be snapped up by a savvy investor looking to purchase an asset that will improve in value. "It is a collectors dream and presents an incredibly rare investment opportunity," the Lloyd's auction listing reads.Interested buyers have just six days left until the vehicle will be auctioned off, with the current bid sitting at $50,000.
