  3. My Dad had a red 63 Sprint in about 65 or so. Black interior, bucket seats, and a console. Straight 6. I think it was a 3spd stick. He had chrome wheels with baby moons and thin whitewalls. We drove it to Ohio from Maryland. I remember stopping for gas, and the pump jockey, (young guy, still full service stations then) says "chrome wheels and baby moon with white walls, where you all from?" My Dad says "Maryland". The pump jockey says "I guess that's the way they do it there". I always thought that was funny. Looking at these pictures above, I'm not sure if I like the earlier cars better, or the 63 cars better.

    I really really really like this Falcon.

    Is it race-only or street/drag?

    Thanks. It's street/strip: 14 mpg on the street and runs 122 mph in the quarter.
