An interesting bit of history of the Argentinian Falcon, seems the dark green ones where a bit of a worry for the populace.....

Quote:
The Ford Falcon: Death-mobile

“It was a death-mobile, the embodiment of terror. Whenever a Falcon drove by we knew there would be kidnappings, disappearance, torture, murder.”

Eduardo Pavlovsky

If you google the last of the Argentine Falcons, they have XK body with rectangular headlights.....no wonder Americans thought our Falcon was based on the same mechanicals and body work

They finished building the 'XK' bodied Falcon in 1991 but they are still as popular now as they where back then....

You should see the work on the TC sixes; windowed blocks to fit the roller lifter retainers and tricks like that. Different bellhousing bolt pattern to the Oz sixes.
