So - do you mean that the `62+/- Falcon having a "partial interior" was "pretty true to the day" !!?? lol-2.gif

IIRC - everything ~ EVERYTHING ~ was "optional equipment" on them, right down to heat & rubber floor mats, let alone a radio or something! biggrin.gif

That's a '63 1/2 and the fastback models were typically optioned out. Ford used that platform and the comparable Mercury Comets as a test bed for the 260/289 small blocks and put together a remarkable record for endurance and reliability.

Great pic, really gives a sensation of speed.

door panels, a dash... lots of interior for a race car that is fast and competetive....

Nope. It races in A sedan
against all of the big bores and trans-am's
camaros, corvettes, shelbys, cuda's, javelins....
all of the big ground pounders.
