Falcon Coupe

That is a one beautiful car - love the colour !! They're are getting very difficult to find these days and on the few occasions that you see a good one on the road - they really turn heads. I think you're about to find out all about that !!

Sounds like she might be a bit of a monster. I don't even want to guess what you paid. When I bought my baby and started spending $$ on her, I made a conscious decision NOT to keep track of how much I poured into her. It's too easy to get bogged down thinking ...... "oh, it's cost me this, I'll never get it back when I sell ... bla bla bla " SO WHAT !! Remember - we're here for a good time, not a long time.

Enjoy it mate - it looks truly wicked !!

Manual or auto? Where you located? Love to see it run at Calder some night.

Also what are the specs of the cam to get that HP, is it a roller?

Paul
I am in eastern melbourne
Manual (top loader)
It has a f2 46 solid crane cam (pretty noisy too)
3500 / 8000 strip dominator manifold
wild port job on the head

And i will take it to calder next year, gotta learn to drive it first.

How right you are XB Coupe !!!
I got it registered today, i went home, put the fattys back on the rear, and the rego plates and sticker, then went for my first real drive,
So i am cruising the burbs, just enjoying the engine/exhaust sound, when i pull up at the lights next to an new crummydore ss ute, i didnt take much notice of him until he nails it off the lights, and gets the jump on me, so i clutch a little give it 5 grand, and with a squeal of the tyres, im off, and by the end of second gear, he is half a length behind me :), so i hit 3rd then back off, round 1 to the 31 year old ford .
Then on my way home, i decide to do a lap of the main street, so i head up to the parking area, and find a spot to go in and purchase some liquid refreshment, as i get out of the car, a 2 door lexus turbo pulls in next to me, and a frantic young gentleman gets out and says " I have to buy that car, how much do you want for it ?" , my answer, NOT for sale .
So apart from jamming the top loader between 1st and second ( i will get used to it) i quite enjoyed my first drive of my 1st V8 ford :)
