HI Guys i have been lurking around here for a while and thought it was about time i put some thing up. This is an Australian Ford built in 1967 It is the same body shape as your 1966 Falcons. This one is actually a late 66 early 67 model. Has a lot of Mustang floor braces as well as the rear rails and such. I hop you like what i have done with it. I will put up some more details later today for you all. Thanks for looking.

How it started out.

Nope never got the 2 door. The Engine made 596hp on the engine dyno and the best the car has run is 10.20 @ on the bottle and 10.80 asperatied.
