Super job on this one! The falcon is a great car to build, and you have done this one justice.
I assume that's an RMS body?
Thanks for sharing it!

Really nice work! You can almost hear that tasty little 260 revving up.

That's a hot little ride! You've got the tires filling the wheel wells just right.

Thanks for all the compliments yes it is a RMS Body and I used a Scalextric Mustang for Chassis and motor it really does run great fun to drive and took a lot of time to get the tire clearance right in the fender well's I will get some video's posted soon.

Wow that's super cool! My step dad had one so I have lots of memories of being in the car with him... the drivers door latch wouldn't work so it would randomly open when he was going around corners... LOL...

That is beautiful, Fitzy. 1st gen Falcons have a huge place in my heart, as I had a couple of them when I was young. In '64 (and a half) Ford released the Mustang, which mechanically was nothing but a Falcon Sprint wrapped in sexy body work. It was so popular it eventually killed off my beloved Falcon. That your beautiful Falcon was made from a Mustang chassis is an irony so wonderful it brought a tear to my eye........
