espo Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Great looking ride. In the north america this was known as a Falcon. But you already know that. Like the rear window "blindes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMunkie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 No cage - but 10 second passes? Doesn't ANDRA state you gotta have a Cage for runs below 10.99? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffXR Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Depends where you race in VIC. Calder yes Heatcote no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustyMojave Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Nice Falcon! Much nicer than mine I had the same thoughts about a cage. My brother destroyed a 64 Plymouth Max Wedge in 1968 when a tie rod end broke in the lights at Lions Drag Strip. His time slip said "11.27 @ 127mph". Left turn into the guard rail from the right lane before getting center-punched by his competitor. He was mighty glad to have had a 4-point roll bar in it.

lillakev Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Very nice car. I had a '68 Falcon with 351 Cleveland, Holley double-pumper, and manual body C4. Same big and little Centerlines too, but no bottle. Mine was dark blue with black Mustang interior. It was a sweet little car, and I can't find a single picture of it now. Thanks for sharing yours.
