I wonder how similar it is to an American ford, Australian falcons were completely designed here from about '71 onward, and have very little engineering in common with the earlier models, which were basicly modified American cars. It still handles like a yank tank, but I'm hoping we can fix that.

The 250 cubic inch lump of cast iron under the hood is straight from detroit, I'm sure a few of you would be familiar with this motor. After months working on Kjet volvos, the very simple 6 looks nice and easy to work on. I can actually reach all the sparkplugs and everything.
