KOOL!!! That old 'street car' sounds and looks great!! The boys on Bang Shift liked Fast Eddie's Falcon,talked it up!! ROY.

 

Here you go Fast Eddie " THE STRIP TWISTER" Car has never looked so good.

Heres All of Fast Eddies runs at this years Holley HotRod Reunion out at Bowling Green. It's about a 13 min video so let it load up a bit and then hang on.Had a Great time, still looking for more Comets , Falcons ,Fairlanes and Galaxies to hang out with.

Thanks Guys!!! Had a BLAST in Bowling Green!!!!! Can't wait for next year

Calling ya out Roy!

 

Eddie...how close to the front of the wheelwell are you running the slicks? Looks really tight in the pics. Any trouble with them growing & rubing at high speed? Was gonna give mine at least 1" but looks like tighter might work.

 

Too funny! I've never had pictures I've taken posted by somebody else! Taken at Hemmings' Musclepalooza a couple years ago, at Lebanon Valley Dragway. Would have taken more pics, but my danged camera ran out of charge!!!!

 

Thanks for posting those pictures. Nice memories. That was a fun day even though the Wild Child ran like crap. We were so luck to have Ev Rowse (driver) and John McIntyre (mechanic) with us that day.

My brother in law, Bob Dover, owns the sweet 65 pickup that is a clone of the truck Ev and John used to tow the car with back in 65.

Here are a few more pics of that day.

Regards,
Joe Germann

 

No disrespect intended on the credit. I think I just pulled them off the web. Great shots of an awesome Falcon. Would love to see The Wild Child and The Georgia Shaker Unrestored Falcon at a show side by side one day.

 

Heres a couple of cool Falcons together. Jim Cagles Falcon "Phil Bonners Georgia Peach" And Fast Eddies "Strip Twister".

 

MD1320guy:

I ended up mini tubing the car when I built it years ago and wished I would have altered it later. The front edge of the wheel well is all the way up against the tub so I could get the 29 1/4 " pie crust drag tire to work. You can see the tire grow a little in the video, does not look like it rubbed, I have about 1/2" in front of the tire to the wheel well

 

Eddie
Its a tough decision to go cutting on a solid car. Fortunatly my project car was rescued form the scrap yard, cancer from trunk to firewall, fenders, doors & quarters. Major surgery is the only way to save it. So I can alter the wheelbase, straight axle, lots of fiberglass without feeling guilty. I can't wait to see what you do with the 2dr wagon. Would love to meet you, Junky & some of the other HAMBers if you ever venture east to the York Nostalgia event.

 

Went to Julesburg Colorado with ole MERCURY JUNKY over the July 4th weekend, The Oldest NHRA Drag Strip in the Country, Had a blast and ended up winning the race!!!!! Can't wait to go back in Sept!!!!!!

 

"Fast Eddie" and "The Strip Twister" 1965 B/FX Falcon vs. "Flyin Phil" Godsey's 1964 A/FX Falcon

 

Fast Eddie;KOOL VIDEO!! So who did win?!!! ROY.

 

Yeap!, felt bad about putting Phil on the trailer first round

 

I cant wait to work on my Falcon again.

 

Dave Lyall, are you still checking this forum. The e-mail address I had for you doesn't work anymore for some reason. I have some information about the OLD Drag Racers Reunion in Panama City, FL in Sept.
<O</O

 

looking for any history or knowledge on this car. 1964 ford falcon named "el condor" drivers name on door mike rumbaugh. car has sponsors of f&m muffler service poway california, and american and foreign autoparts. looks like lettering from mid 60's to mid 70's. probably so. california. thanks.

 

more pics of the 64

 

What a cool looking car. First time I've seen it. It looks awesome just the way it is. Are you near Denver would love to see that one in person.

Falcon Red Any Info?

 

Did see this one this weekend. The only all Fiberglass Factory 65 Falcon driven by Dave Lyall.

 

yes, i live south of franktown 12 miles. you can e-mail me at pappygtb@aol.com. thanks, greg.

 

gtbpappy;Potter the sign painter still lives in the San Diego,CA. area,he did the lettering of a couple of my friends cars.I will contact them and see if Potter can shed some light on the Falcon. ROY.

 

thanks for the help!!! i could not find out any info on f&m or american foreign auto parts. hope there may be an old racer out there that may remember. trying to get an estimated year of when the car ran. by looks of lettering--mid 60's -mid 70's? tach also looks pretty old. mopar scoop was popular from 64-69. so, would this be a b/fx car?

 

here is another shot of it in the building today.

 

That's a new one on me, I will look through my photos and see if I have any. I would like to know the history of that one too. We might be able to compare some of the features it has with some of the other cars of the time. By the scoop it has been modified at a later date as that looks like a hemi dart type scoop.

 

That Dave Lyall Falcon is definatly a "one of one". Wish I had seen this ad and had money at the same time, which happened very seldom back in those days (these days too now that I think of it!).

 

gtbpappy;I got a hold of my friend that has Potter letter his race cars,he said Potter stops by the shop all the time and that he would pick his brain about the Falcon. ROY.

 

thanks for the replys!!! this would be great. i would just like to find out about when it was lettered and raced. do you guys happen to know what class this would have ran in?
