History Wanted!!! 1964/65 Ford Falcon A/FX Pics!

Wow Dale

I've got more than $89.95 in stubed flanges & collectors and don't even have pipe to connect them yet.....Mike

 

Keep this great thread going. Figured id post a shot of my project

 

rocketsled59, more pics please.

 

rocketsled59;KOOL 64!! Can you tell us more about it? ROY.

 

...I have been working on trying to get the old Vindicator ready for this summer....what you see are the remnants of the original car (has 60% of the original paint)

 

Really cool car, glad your getting it done.....Al

 

It's a 393 w t10 9" budget build. Vintage tube axle that was in a mustang drag car. Econoline spindles maybe a little street action maybe play with it at strip occasionally. Should be fun ... If I ever get it done. Funny, I say that about all the projects on my list...maybe I really do have a problem...

 

I can only get one pic per post.

 

Hate to clog this thread with a bunch of posts with one pic in each.

 

Another shot on the trailer

 

my 64

 

Hey, my car is wearing some of your cars trim isn't it?

 

That it is sir. The car looks great.
Hope to see it this summer at some event.

 

That would be nice. However I'm not optimistic. Recovering from shoulder surgery. So not much progress since November. I may be at some events but the car will be in a pile in the shop I'm sure.

 

Hey Rocketsled, nice stance on your 64. How much drop does your front axel have?

 

Thanks !
I believe it's 4"

 

Bump. Keep this thread going please

 

Rocketsled,please say you're gonna get that Falcon out to the Meltdown Drags this year....?

That car is just plain badass.

FE;you need to tune into the Live MM put on by Bang Shift,should be at least four Falcons running Hot Rod Eliminator!! A 62 Blue Ranchero,a Burgandy 63.5 Hardtop,a Burgandy 64 Hardtop and a Red 65 Ranchero,maybe more!!!! ROY.

 

Man, I'd love to make it. I've been a bit incapacitated past five months. Short on funds too. Hoping to have it fired up and running in next few weeks. Still a have to cut and set up the 9". Entire brake system yet to go. No seats lots left to do. I must attend the MDD this year. Was last at Byron three years ago I believe with Hendricks fuel car.

 

Here's a nice car from Detroit Autorama.......Al

 

Some updated pictures of the Vindicator....hope to have it finished for the US30 show in York, PA in July.

 

That car looks SOOOOOOOOOOO mean!

Back in the mid 60's I used to watch the Vindicator run every Sunday at Dover Drag Strip and it was always a crowd favorite.

So much wonderful drag racing history with that car.

Best of luck with the project. Jimbo

I'm glad to see your Vindicator project is coming along so well.....Mike

 

Hilborn or Algon unit for the Vindicator?????

 

Can you get a set of Algon Injectors for a FE?How is parts availability for the system?Which system was used on the Falcon back then? ROY.

 

Roy, ALGON setups are out there, I have a nice setup, and my buddy had a couple, one low/med rise that he sold recently for $1800, and a nice HR set, still on the engine he was running in his pulling truck. Some real phishers on epay, gotta be patient and look for a decent deal. Once you have the basic manifold, you can run regular Hilborn etc. barrels, pumps, nozzles etc.- mine came with Hilborn nozzles and an Enderle barrel, and the original converted aircraft pump plus the Hilborn they were running with it- even got an ALGON FE front cover with drive boss. They run good, but the throttle bodies aren't real big, the Hilborns will make more power

 

Roy....I have both setups for the FE hi-riser....from the vintage pictures of the car, it looks as if it ran the hilborns.....Mike

 

whats the story on this one?Original fiberglass on a different body?
