If cars could talk, i bet this one would have quite the story 🤣 keep it up good stuff man.

[@skatshot3990]

Thanks! I should do a video about the history of this car sometime. The general story is that it was bought in 1997 for the WA police and spent about a decade in the force with someone fairly high up since there aren't any holes around the car, so it wasn't a squad car or interceptor. It had done about 15,000 ks every 3 months so my guess was that it was visiting regional centres. In 2007, I believe it was handed into the wreckers where the guy I bought it off worked, and when it closed down in 2011, he took it with him, periodically doing it up every few years until I bought it. Either that, or someone bought it from a police auction in 2004ish and sent it to the wreckers in the late 2000s. Still a very cool car and I'm looking forward to getting it re-registered once the new sills go in.

Cool to see a school kid working on a real a car I’d advise you put the cool old falcon away in a shed until you go do a trade in panel and paint or mechanical as there one of the best cars to modify and make a sick car out of they have a decent drive line and solid chassis ready for engineering in whatever you want to do with car aka Summernats or drift car or drag car as in time finding a decent e series falcon will be really hard do

[@skatshot3990]

Appreciate it man. I've been wanting an old Falcon for some time now. I think the E-series ones are still pretty cheap but I can see them going up in value really soon especially since most have ended up around power poles or at the speedway lol. The plan with this one is eventually to give it a full respray and some dark tint, maybe some better wheels too. I reckon it'd make a great sleeper, especially cause you don't expect the base model to have a huge thirsty V8 in it.

[@russelblackwell6041]

those wheels and the shark fin uglies ford wheels made in Ef-El series nothing you can do to polish a turd

[@skatshot3990]

Well... It was cheap! Even if it is a bit uggo and slow and extremely impractical, that Windsor does sound nice.
