Ford

Falcon

TBD

2 Dr Sedan

I purchased this car in 2008 from my cousin and her husband who had 5 Falcons at their shop. This one was in the best condition of the 5.

It has sat in the garage since waiting on kids to get through college so I can get her resto-modded. Planning on a 351W based 427-600hp powerplant with a Tremec 6 speed Manual, a narrowed Ford 9” with 3.70 gears, and either a full frame from Schwarz performance, or custom frame rail connectors with a TCI IFS and 4-link suspension.

351W based 427 - 600 hp. Can’t decide on naturally aspirated or EFI, but leaning towards EFI.

All new custom leather or vinyl/cloth paying tribute to the lines of the original upholstery with added bolsters. Front power operated buckets and custom console paying homage to the original.

Additional LED lighting and custom gauges.

Vintage air conditioning.

Power windows and door locks.

Stock look sleeper.

Full stereo with blue tooth, satellite radio and USB. May have to be remote control hidden as stock look units don’t seem to be brand names.

Speakers in dash, A pillars, rear package tray, side kick panels, and rear side panels with under-seat low profile sub-woofers.

Full custom chassis and frame from Schwarz Perfomance or TCI IFS with power rack, and their 4-link rear suspension all with adjustable coil-overs. 6 piston 13” discs in front, 4 piston 11” or 13” rear.

315 mm wide x 17 or 18 in the rear. Mini-tubbed inside fenders (no cutting).
245 -255 mm wide x 17 or 18 in front.
