    There was 5 of them at Carlisle this year for the all Ford nationals, I really like the way they look, kinda Torino Mustang combo.

    Yeah, I like them because they are a mix of both of my favorite Fords...
    70-71 Torino hardtop and 71-73 Mustang Mach 1.

    What is really neat about them is they can take 295/50/15 tires and 10" rims into the stock wheel wells!!! No mods! And the tires don't stick out past the fender either. The orange one looks to have them. The blue one has wide tires, but I can't tell if they are that wide.

    Stefan, when did you see the Falcon at Imperial Palace? I was out there in April and it wasn't there.
