Here's a pic of my second Falcon. I had the car resprayed, complete velour interior, disc brake 9", 302C with a 4-speed single-rail gbox. I spent more money modifying this car than any of the others.

My current toy is this motorcycle engined dragster. Best times are 9.91 secs @ 132 mph. I have raced this thing at Willowbank, Calder, Heathcote, ECR, WSID, Canberra, Nowra, Cowra, Wellington and Gunnedah.

This was my second car. I was a bit of a Hemi nut in 1985 :blink:

Nice looking Centura there...I had a KB with a 245 in it for a while, that was pretty quick little car...

Always wondered what one with an Injected 265 would run :msm:

245, with cam ( close to a TQ20, nothing crazy ) solid lifters, extractors and Holley 650. Block was bored slightly oversize. It was a 4 speed Borg Warner box and the best time ( still got my time slips ) was a 15.01.

The Torana was a mildy worked 253.

Lumpy, I loved my Centura and had HEMI.1 number plates on it later. I didnt sell the car t'll my late 20's and just kept it as my weekend car.

The only problem was it was over powered ( Centuras were designed as 4Cyl's) and it kept throwing trailing arm bushes which were a :blush: to replace.
