Yeah, it’s super helpful, especially for restoring older models. They’re a lot smaller than the later Falcons though.

Oh, you’ve got one of the Aussie Falcons.

Yup, early ones were pretty much like the US version but upgraded for tougher conditions here. They ran a durability test on them back in the day.

Not as old, but still got my ‘99 SVT Contour. Doesn’t run but hoping to rebuild it one day. Loved that car.

That’s a rare one! We never got many of those here in Australia. Definitely worth getting it back on the road.

I’ve got my dad’s old Ranger. He bought it before I was born, and I plan to keep it forever.

That’s awesome. Hoping to keep my Falcon in the family too. Would be great to pass it down someday.

I’ve still got my 1973 Mustang Mach 1.

Nice! Last of the classic Mustangs before the Fox body era. What engine’s in it?

It’s got a Q code 351 with a 4-speed manual.

That’s an awesome setup! Bet it’s worth a lot now, especially with the manual. Must be fun to drive.

It’s been modified a bit but still has the original engine and transmission. Not as valuable as the first gens, but I’ll never sell it.

Still got mine! 95 F150… been with me since 2003.

Still have my first car… a 66 Falcon. Bought it at 15 and still driving it today. Restored and modified over the years.
