Hot Rods Falcons... Street/Strip cars..

Wheels up Wednesday......might be one of the best pictures ever...

 

Hey! I know that car... I have never seen that pictures before, thanks for posting it.

 

Ok.....close enough!!!!

 

Good God....is this beautiful machine yours??? Please sure details if so...what a great looking Falcon..

 

Yes it’s my car. Thank you very much for the compliments.
In that picture is was a mechanical Hilborn injected small block ford on alcohol with a 4 speed. Now it is a 427 FE with a C-4

 

Mine kinda resembles this and Mike love the chrome Steelies on your car..did the rears on mine with some M & H Racemasters

 

WHEW when you have a lot of time here is Mikes LONG story building the fabulous flying Falcon.

Got lots of time on a Sunday..wait a minute...I have been on this thread..love the exhaust on this car..I hadn’t realized it’s been on the track..very impressive

 

Wheels up for the weekend...

 

Hanging in the lanes...

 

I don’t recall ever seeing any Falcons running in the Gasser classes . Match race A/FX outlaws jacked up with axles YES absoulty!! Everything jacked up is now called a Gasser. Somehow the current builders have lost site of the history of the look and stance of a True Street/Strip Gasser. Not just Falcons but everything with 4 wheels . Are all of these Gassers Or are they commentating the Match Race wars ?, Maybe but I think most are just having fun building and driving a jacked up Street beast and really don’t care if they are portraying the correct history of the Class but again Most have no clue that a Gasser was a particular drag race class . Weight divided by C.I. = A/Gas, B/G,C/G,etc. The fact is back In the heyday which was the ‘60’s no Blown 55 Chevy or blown falcon could stand a chance against a Blown Willy’s ,Anglia or Austin A40.
Well that’s my rant for tonite. And to all Enjoy all things that make power and roll on two or four wheels.

 

So, are you saying I should kill this thread???

 

Ahh hell let’s have some fun....

 

Thank you!.....

 

No problem...I love this thread..as a kid I remember a yellow and a red Falcon running around on Telegraph. Both of them had radiused wheelwells and ran slot wheels..and I believe they still are around today and look exactly the same

 

I used to hang out on Telegraph in the '70s but then I discovered Hines Dr. Now I take it into work and the ride back home... It's more relaxing...

 

I've got a thing for 61s, a hi squeeze 289 on alcohol and four speed would be my flavor. Nothing like an old guy dreaming.

 

Found a pic of the yellow Falcon...this cars been around since I was a teen in the early - mid 80’s

 

Old Autorama Pics I found

 

Ok....who’s gonna call the guy...

 

Have at it!... Bet it will put a on his face.....

 

In the pits with pops...

 

More of a AWB...but wild none the less

 

That's a model car.

 

Looks good to me.....

 

Holy crap your right...it was late and I’d had a long day..Kudos to the builder..damn thing looked real

 

The builder did a really good job.

 

Half a Falcon...

 

Obviously does not race with Quain's group as those front wheels would have him out on his arse in a New York minute.

Guys

Folks sure love em...I bet 75% of the “gassers” built today run em. Wouldn’t be my first choice
