Yeah, that's a nice one.
For me, the Falcon's image will always be influenced by the fact that my Dad had one when I was little. It was a '63 wagon with a 170 c.i.d. Special and three-on-the-tree. From that point of reference, it is hard for me to consider the Falcon a muscle car.

falcons and novas(nova IIs i think were the ones) are awesome. ohh and corvairs...
Yeah, the early ('63 to '67, I think) Novas were called Chevy II. The Nova name started as an upmarket trim level on those cars in '65 or '66. I'm working on restoring a '66, but it's going slow.
I like Corvairs, but my wife doesn't, hence we have no Corvair.

427 Cobras.
in theory, but if you're doing more than hopping down to the **** store they suck unbelievably.
they turn similar times to a spec miata, on the racetrack, and the miata is only down like 300hp.... and they weigh about the same...

Yeah ladder frames have been out of date since they stopped using them on horse & carriages - here's one that actually uses technolodgy less than a century old: http://www.gdcars.com/gd427/gd427.htm
