Attached File Attached File Ford built the Falcon as an economy car and it was used as the test car to develop the Mustang. The 1963 1/2 Falcon Sprint was released just before the 1964 Mustang was announced. 260 V8 and a sloped roof gave it street appeal. It was the fore runner of mini muscle cars like the Chevy Nova SS. Pretty obvious there is no definition of muscle cars, but we do know what pony cars are. The Falcon and similar cars will be called mini muscle cars. Show me what you have. |

| I met a guy back in the ‘80’s that had a pro street ‘65 Falcon. It was very wild, from those huge tires to the wild paint job. Come to find out later, Mom funded the build of the car by embezzling money from the town she worked for. Another friend was in the right place at the right time when he had to unload it to come up with funds for mom’s attorney bills to keep her out of jail. |
