History
1965 FORD FALCON XK/L/M/P COUPE
“FRANKENFALCON’
Yes, you read that right. Originally this car started life as a
1965 Falcon XP Coupe, but then in 1999, a few beers, then
some serious grinding & welding took place.... I always wanted an American 'Sprint' but only had a rusty, damaged XP coupe, so my uncle & i decided to make what we always wanted! completed in 2002, this vehicle is regulary used & is always the subject of many a 'discussion/argument'!
