Back to the subject road racing Falcon:

Here are photos of the same car over several years, different livery:



Car 21 is an XP Falcon. In the background, part of NZ's largest "population" (there are about 30 sheep for every person in NZ)



On the starting grid beside a genuine Type 38 Lotus-Cortina and a slant window Anglia (which probably had either a Lotus or Cosworth modified engine). The tight NZ road courses favored the small yapping dog-cars with sharp pointy teeth!



Racing as an "All Black" (a football term down under) the car leads a Lotus-Cortina, XP Falcon, and towards the left of photo, a Holden LH (blue/grey) and Chrysler Valiant. This is a small, tight road course, note position of the back straight.

So you say there have been an increasing number of 64 Falcons ruinning road course in North America, what's so hot about this car?

Answer: These photos are from 1989

I have this photo somewhere on this board in a smaller size but can't remember where. This was a typical New Zealand junk yard back in 1989. Most of these wagon could have been saved with some TLC!
