The Falcon: A Rare and Powerful Vehicle

The speaker has been eyeing this vehicle all weekend, and they are eager to share its details with their audience. The car is a falcon, which is not commonly seen in Australia, where it is rare to come across this model. However, the speaker believes that this particular falcon may hold a record for being the fastest four-door production car ever made in Australia.

In 1970, the falcon was indeed considered one of the fastest cars on the planet. It featured a powerful 351 Cleveland engine and a four-speed transmission with a conventional 9-inch D. The speaker notes that despite using modern technology, such as turbochargers and advanced transmissions, this particular vehicle still retains its original Ford small block engine with a 9-inch D. This blend of old and new components gives the car an interesting unique identity.

The results of this combination are astonishing - the falcon can reach speeds of up to 708 mph (1,142 km/h) in just one quarter mile. Its weight is around 3,500 pounds, but it still manages to achieve incredible acceleration due to its powerful engine and advanced transmission system. Additionally, it features leaf springs and 275 tires, which may seem unusual given the car's modern powerplant.

The falcon has undergone some significant modifications since its introduction in 1970. It now boasts a turbocharged engine from Prine Racing, as well as an EV1 converter from Protor Converters. These upgrades give the car an all-Americanized feel, making it stand out from other vehicles of its time. The speaker highlights these modifications, which have allowed the falcon to remain competitive in modern racing environments.

The falcon's performance capabilities are truly remarkable. In one quarter mile, it can reach speeds of up to 728 mph (1,175 km/h). Its top speed has been recorded at an impressive 203 mph (327 km/h), a testament to its raw power and efficiency. The speaker also notes that the car still retains some boost capacity, which could potentially increase its performance further.

One interesting aspect of the falcon is its connection to Danny Engines in Melbourne. The shop, which specializes in building engines for classic cars, has agreed to build another engine for this particular vehicle as long as a donation of $6.99 is made. This collaboration will undoubtedly allow the speaker and their team to push the car's performance even further.

Throughout the day, the speaker shared their experience with their audience, highlighting various aspects of the falcon's design, performance, and modifications. They also expressed gratitude for the support of Prine Fuel Tech, Protor Converters, and other companies that have helped make this project possible.
