Sorry mate ment the "australian ford falcon models"
I know some banger racers that use them, they tend to be rotten as hell though. Use volvo' premare's and Bluebird's most of the time now.

My dad had two, one the same shape as the lowrider and the shape after, were cracking cars.

The mk1's look cool

Need a Capri for my collection.
