Anyone know about this Falcon?
In researching Holman Moody builds as it relates to my 64 Fairlane K-Code I ran across an interesting Falcon. I already knew about the 64 Monte Carlo Falcons but had not heard of or seen the Challenger 3 Rally Falcon. It's almost Flarechero-ish :D

March 1963 - Holman-Moody
My attached photo looks like an earlier version of the same car. They lowered the body by cutting it lengthwise and removing a 3-inch wide section. In your photo, it looks like they lowered it more by dropping the roofline as well. This is on page 69 of "Falcon Performance Portfolio 1960-1970" and is a reprint of a March 1963 Road and Track article. The car had a Holman-Moody modified Challenger 260 V-8 that made 260 horsepower at 5800 rpm and a four-speed. With a 3.5 rear end it did 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds and a quarter mile in 16 seconds.
