This Falcon is very good, real clean and tidy, and obviously a well looked after car.
Ok, lets ignore the big paper weight on the front for a sec.

The steering wheel is in horrible condition, as is the driver seat.

Ex-police car?

OK, for the less mechanically minded, is that bug catcher functional in any size, way, shape or form, or is it purely decoration (or "rice")?

Edit - never mind - just read it - "It has had a supercharger mounted up to the 6 cylinder engine, although not connected for boost. The belt drives the supercharger, so it still makes the right noise, but the engine itself it not force fed. Gets a massive amount of looks!!"

I was looking for the paragraph about it and missed it twice, then went back and it jumped straight out. Sorry!

Does anyone know someone who can organise to have it sent to Melbourne for me. I’d love to have this unique Falcon as part of my collection.

Whats more annoying is...


In EnZed you can drive a car with a blower out the bonnet and the authorities won't care...

Wish we had some of the liberal modification laws they enjoy...

yeah as long as the blower pulley is covered you can still have a metal mountain poking through. i think there is a height limit but it doesnt seem to be enforced much.

but in nz you get away with a lot more if its an older muscle car, imports can get a pretty hard time from the coppers sometimes.
