Gorgeous. Nothing like an early 60's american midsize 2 door. Untapped hot rod potential. You see lots of worked over falcons but check the lines on this baby. Probably the same chassis as a Nova/tempest. Just add fuel injected Small-block and enjoy!
Like the white car on the grey-with-white-trim-house.
