    This vehicle showed up at our July 4th show yesterday here in Santa Fe, complete with RHD. I think its some kind of Mustang or Falcon or something. Kinda interesting, didn't catch what it was doing so far from home...

    Falcon coupe produced early 70's till I think 76,available with 2 6 cyl. engines & 2 v8's the one in the pic is likely to have 351 v8 & 4 speed top loader gearbox maybe a genuine GT? or just another clone.

    A few hundred of those Falcon coupes have allegedly found their way from Oz to the US.

    The origin of the trade was that these are the cars that Mel Gibson drove in the Mad Max movies.

    It's hard to imagine that a few hundred Americans would opt for a right hand drive car like this...B)
