Re: Project Falcon
Okay so I have one more idea for the Falcon. I know too much time on my hands but just one more idea......When I was in high school a good friend of mine had a '76 Nova. It wasn't a car everybody wanted. Inline 6, auto and a two door. White as the day was long, but it had one thing that made it the coolest car on the lot, air shocks. Yes it rode like crap fully inflated but man it looked like it could do the tangle with it's socks off.
So I got to thinking..........how about a retro '70s-'80s cruiser. You could add springs out back to bring it up in the rear. Or if you want shocks, but I'd like springs or homemade shackles too. This wouldn't make the car a nose high gasser either. Tint the windows, add a CB radio with an antenna on the deck lid. Get some wide meats for the rear. Paint it that dark blue you like. Find some Cragar SS and white walls. It doesn't have to be all disco tech just clean and a nice reflection to a time of muscle fun. Keep the inline six or go to a bigger one. Or a nice 302. It would still be a nice cruiser locked in a time gone past.....I like this one next to the gasser actually. Then when all was said and done you would have a reason to grow a mullet. Business in the front, party in the back. Glad I can day dream......lol.
