I bet that was the first Ford Falcon to go 0 to 120 mph in a few hundred feet!

Were there any amphibious Falcons? [Linked Image]

Mmmm... Red '66 Falcon Sprint with 289 V8 and convertible top. </dreaming>

They shoulda used a Pontiac Aztec instead!

Oh... AYE!

Reminds me of the time that Cycle World dropped a Honda Trail 90 (or was it the 70?) from a helicopter high enough to achieve 160 mph before becoming a greasy crater. It was at the time when the 160 mph barrier remainded elusive to the crotch-rocket builders, and the headline of "Honda breaks 160 mph barrier" in the April issue was a crude joke. Funny stuff.
