Ford, Edison, USA. This was the second version of the Ford Falcon and predates the Mustang by a few months. The Mustang was a sexier package for not much more and thus the Sprint version of the Falcon was not the success it might have been. Compared to the base model of the Falcon, the Sprint had a 4.3 litre and then in 1965 a 4.7 litre V8, stiffer suspension and a louder exhaust. Slightly larger and roomier than a Mustang, it is still a compact 2 door four seater with some power. They were raced in era both in the US and Europe but without any conspicuous success. They are still raced today in series such as the Dutch Historic GT and Touring car championship.
