Lots of history presented in this video that I wasn't aware of. The car is an absolutely gorgeous restoration for all to see. The '64 Falcon was the best looking Falcon in my book. Great video, well presented and I enjoyed the driving portion very much. Thank you for sharing this Historic car.

[@johnslade9358]

Awesome car with an equally awesome story

[@jeffwhite7158]

As the grandson of Ev Rowse, this is really cool to see. It makes me happy to see the Wild Child restored.

[@TheVancen]

Small world, my dad used to work at Ev's shop back in the 80's. Ev even helped build my dad's 1970 Torino.

Saw this car at Lebanon valley dragway a few years ago very cool 👍🏻

[@josephryan1576]

Beautiful work. She has definitely seen some good times and some not so good as most race cars do. But awesome job on the restoration.

[@richardharrigan6453]

Enjoyed the video and the history of a famous drag car! Fantastic that it has been restored!

[@renealdo1018]

You prolly dont give a damn but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can give me!

[@tomparry4313]

Better sounding then any Hemi engine ever built period. Kind of like the newer SOHC 4.6 engines, hard to beat the sound especially with a cam(s).

[@CJColvin]

@MichXJdad I know brother and the new 7.3L Godzilla V8 is only 6 cubic inches bigger than the 440 Magnum.

[@edge2sword186]

Steel Pistons ? Maybe Forged Aluminum Pistons ? In 1971 Ford dropped out of racing and Holman Moody sent out a letter offering the 427 SOHC to the public for $695.00 delivered with a 650 hp dyno sheet . 2-4bbl .engines .The Salesman was Gurd Wunderlick .

[@joegermann5862]

Not steel as in the metal but a manufacturers name. I’m not sure of the exact spelling though.

[@kiethmarshall9594]

Can you fit me in a74 capri

[@howardbenoit7474]

hi I remember the ford dealer RANKIN in London Ontario,I was 20 at the time,my friend bought a 1957 chevy nomand two door green 100 rust free at that time,it was in 1966 for 50 dollars,them times r gone ha

[@uriccrawford9668]

Great history. I built the 1:25 scale with information Ev Rowse supplied

[@lombardozarateiii6920]

Amazingly beautiful

[@randycoursey7230]

The 427 SOHC was as Bad Ass as they came back then. A 90 day wonder actually built for NASCAR but shot down by Bill France. It never saw a NASCAR race.

[@CJColvin]

What part of Canada are you from. Badass Falcon with the 427 SOHC Cammer V8 by the way.

[@seanonwalkercreek.7356]

What A Beauty!

[@jacqueliu7896]

I love the videogame with a race car and an air plane

[@richramos2689]

Nope. Back in the day Ford ruled with FE (not even SOHC). It was with 427 ci.

[@robinesavage404]

Exactly... Ford dominated Nascar with the 427 FE midriser wedge style engine. The only reason that Ford developed the SOHC version of the 427 FE was because the wedge dominated the 426 Hemi's on the short tracks, and the only place that the hemi pulled away a little bit is the longer hi speed tracks... But Chrysler threw a hissy fit when they saw Ford testing the SOHC because they knew that they absolutely had nothing that could compete with it. And after crying to Bill France, Nascar banned the Cammer from ever turning an official lap in Nascar. The rest is history. But yes Ford dominated the world with the regular 427 FE wedge engines!

[@brianhanel6897]

Steel pistons?

[@timbo612]

i never heard of steel pistons in a ford engine!

[@davidthomas7570]

My dad Mike Thomas from the Dekalb Georgia had a 64 or 65 Falcon funny car. The car's name was Homemade hell. He ended up running a blown and injected SOHC engine and the car. Wonder what happened to it? I still have the Hill born 4 butterfly injector

[@HighlanderNorth1]

🤪Ooh ooh ooh! I think I've got the answer to ^his "when to shift" dilemma! You're supposed to shift AFTER the engine blows up, right? 🤔

[@markmccarty727]

Steal pistons?!

[@petervossos4816]

That would have jumped around like a jumping jelly been with those pillow soft tyres!!!!!

[@packingten]

Ford's ALWAYS had a better sounding engine &back then I was a Chevy nut....

[@arttrombley7385]

Put a 289 Hipo with a Paxton in it and go faster.

[@ednorton1853]

Youre not serious..? you could put twin Paxtons on it and still wouldnt run with a well sorted 427 HR.

[@Shawnsrobloxworld]

425 hp from the Hemi? Please!!!! Hemis would run with this all day long.

[@daveh7186]

Incorrect. Not this one. Any other one yes.
