Hi everybody!!!
First of all, Thank you for leaving a comment. it means a lot to me.
Here is my bird of prey:
It?s a 1973 Ford Falcon Sprint, I bought it in 1995 it was ready for scrap, it took me 8 years and a lot of work to fully restore it.
It has a 221 6 cyl. inline engine, with special manifolds, exhaust is Lomas Silens, camshaft was made by the Quilmes Automovil Club guys and the header conducts were polished, it has over 168 HP. The gearbox is a 4-Speed FAE. The rear axle is a Dana 44 Posi-Trac with a short ratio. Wheels are Spina Hnos.
In the interior it has Recaro Bucket seats, race Schinca gauges, and a modified central console.
I?m also glad to inform you, my Falcon friend?s, that this model is running since 1965 in TURISMO CARRETERA, the passion it inspires can match your V8 Supercar. Ford races since 1936 in it, and has won 36 championships, 14 of them by "our" Falcon Sprint. This is our best "card" for 2004 championship (I hope so!!!) The driver?s name is Walter Hern?ndez, and he won the 1993 championship, and was banned for 4 races in 1994 (with TC owner?s bad blood), wich he was leading confortably. He also raced for Ford in TC2000 (similar to BTCC) and was 2nd in 1997, 2001 and 2003, still he is considered one of the top 5 drivers over here. Plus he is an excelent human being, and he?s back to claim the Championship!!!!
Hope you liked it!!!
