  • Hi, I sent you an email on your contact form about this car.

    • Hi, I just sent you a reply, thanks!

  • I was working at Ford Broadmeadows at the time that the car was assembled. I was working in the paint shop (tu tone line). It was painted by one of the guys who I worked with at the time. From memory it was a Pearl white in colour and was the only Falcon ever painted in that colour.

  • I spotted it at a car show in Gosford over the weekend – looks legit:

    • different rear bumper, perhaps the original got lost or things got changed around 92-93?

      • I am the current owner of the car. The rear bumper is original, but has had the exhaust hole filled after the Indycar races. It still has the hole that you can feel from the back of the bumper when you reach behind.
