1960 Ford Falcon Two Door Sedan - Racetrack Raptor

First-Year Falcon Hunts Its Prey On Road CoursesThe dejected hulk lay half buried in a massive patch of kudzu-known as the "vine that ate the South"-when Ron Bonnell somehow spotted it in a Hartselle, Alabama, backyard. As a lifelong Falcon fanatic, he was determined that this used-up and utilitarian '60 two-door sedan wouldn't permanently disappear under the creeping, suffocating tendrils of runaway plant growth, like some hapless victim in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. So, he cut a deal and winched it out and onto his open trailer-despite the fact that three of the forlorn Falcon's wheels wouldn't turn, its factory 144ci six-banger had been unceremoniously stuffed in the trunk, and its three-speed manual gearbox was then residing in the back seat. The interior was trashed, its floorpans rusted badly; but, as Ron says, "You have to start somewhere."
