Nice looking Falcon, anybody know anything about the car? Engine? obviously a 3 speed automatic, is it a full tube chassis car, or still have the shock towers? Based on the parachute, rear wing etc, they are obviously expecting it to go much quicker once the bugs are worked out, plus noticed a nitrous bottle inside. Being at Cecil County dragstrip in Maryland, have to assume it is a NorthEast car.

Definitely a few bugs to work out. The linelock if there is one either doesn't work or no brake pressure to the fronts. Not sure what convertor but that launches soft despite the RPM. Nice looking car. Looks like a few cool ones at that track. (Cecil County, Rising Sun Maryland)

Really like that body style - if I didn't have my 67, I'd be in one of the 64 or 65 units. 14:07 in video, it's a SBF of some sort, towers still in the car. I'd expect that - you could squeeze a 363 or so in there with a 8.2 deck and not have to hack the towers. Got a vacuum pump and probably a 750ish Track Warrior carb and Trick Flow heads. Looks like stock chassis with just an 8 point bar in it. A1000 pump in the rear so they have plenty of fuel for whatever they want to do with it LOL. Braced 9".
1.66 60' - that's either a really light launch or a way too tight converter. 7.49 @ 92 says it has more power, but not a whale of a lot. I can run 7.50s all day at 88ish. 92 would be 7.30s/.40s or so.
There's a 64 in a driveway here that's been sitting 20+ years an is full of poop and trash. Love to save it, can't get contact with anyone. Taxes on the house paid by a remote relative that refuses contact. It'll end up crushed as the city cleans up abandoned cars.
