Default Falcon Sprint in construction

Recently saw the 64 Falcon Sprint racecar of Jim Richards, currently under construction, at his workshop in Melbourne.
It is without a doubt the finest example of its kind. It is like a V8Supercar in 1964 clothing! The car is being built to race in the Biante Touring Car Masters racing series.
I understand it is only days away from getting a shakedown test and then it should be heading up to QLD for the Shannons Sports and Muscle Car Showdown.
Only has a 289 V8 but apparently the Mick Webb built engine, came up trumps on the dyno.
It can be viewed on www.picasaweb.google.com.au/tytechengines
JR's crew-chief from 1990, Bruce Tyson, has built the car.
Let's hope it performs as good as it looks.
