Yo all,
One of my favourite looks, and if I wasn't sat somewhere random robbing wifi I'd flood this thread with many a fantazmo ride. Simple to achieve, it's always a winner... ;D
The Falcon is owned by Barry George, quite a bloke from Essex, we did a feature in Classic Ford on it a few months back. When I last spoke to him he was about to banned from driving for doing 112mph down the A12 in it. Out bating anything he can find... Top bloke.

Its a look that would suit 60's brit saloon.....Super Minx for example.

I know that there are a large number of J saloons (and people carriers ) .. done like it, large black steels, lettered tyres, occasional graphics etc. What are the defining points of the look? For a short hand reference? Black Steels + silver centre Race Graphics (but not too many) 2 tone (black roof seems to be common) |

I think the look is a lot to do with stance. Big wheels - either those mahoosive minilites or wide black steels with big chrome nuts. Big tyres too. And a roll cage if you can do it. Apply lots of lary paint, vintage race stickers and stick your exhaust out of the side of your car.

Street Machine did a Motorvation on NASCAR look years ago, they applied it an old Rekord/Commodore coupe amongst other things. Otherwise similar to above with the big steels etc.
FE Victor, Rekord, Cortina Mk3 all possible candidates?

With bigger wheels and a more committed stance, what about one of these? Similar to a Falcon/Galaxie? As blatantly stolen from Czechered Flag's show report.....  |
