Concur - very bad boy. Plain jane post car with rubber floor mat and a big stout engine. I was tracking a white one of these for awhile. Talk about sleeper!!!

Now you're talkin!!!

I'm not much of a Ford fan nor did I ever have any love for the 70/71 Torinos...but I always liked the Falcon Post cars and foolishly let one slip through my hands about 1981..

It's ( falcon )a very Rare Bird. I wonder how many were made? There is a guy in Florida with a nice one. It's a 351 car however. I think the lines of the 70/71 torinos are spot on. They flow nicely

Falcons are not rare. Hi-po Falcons are. In fact, I believe 351-4 Falcons may be rarer than CJ Falcons.

But I'd rather have a Fairlane 500 with a CJ over a Falcon any day!

442, I was referring to Hi Po falcons. That said I cannot remember when I saw ANY 701/2 Falcon recently

And I don't know how my response was not in the same context?

There were two 429 Falcons in magazines this summer. They made just over 200 of them, I believe, but they are familiar to the magazines. How many CJ Fairlanes have you seen in magazines? The editors will skip these for the Falcons when it's the Fairlanes that are much rarer . . . and more interesting to me!
