    Thanks on the Fairlane comments. I will tell you that the handling aspects of the Fairlane are more solid and cruise friendly than the Falcon. The Power to Weight Ratio make the Falcon pretty squirrely in comparison. The Falcon also corners nicer, but that could be due to the power steering, which was not an option on the K-Code Fairlanes.

    Now imagine a 427 in a Falcon Sprint. That's exactly what Romy Hammes Ford did in 1964 when they built the very first one to run with their Thunderbolt. Squirrely Indeed!
