I look forward to getting together with the club and getting to know the activities and all of the members.

I own a 1966 two-door Falcon that many people in the club will recognize, I bought the car from my uncle Kevin McCloy last year. Kevin has been in the club for some time, and he is the one who got me interested in Falcons in the first place.

My car has a warmed over 302 with 289 heads that have had some porting work done and Windsor valves added. It has a Edelbrock Performer intake, a Holley 600 cfm double-pumper, headers and dual exhaust. The transrl1ission is a C-4 with a reverse pattern, manual valvebody, and a 2800 stall TCS converter. The rear-end is a 9-inch with a 3.50:1 posi. It has a six-point rollbar and subframe connectors. The wheels are Magnum 500s that have been sand-blasted and painted black, the fronts are 14x6 with 215.70.14s and the rears are 15x8 with 245.60.15s, with beauty rings and spinners.

My future plans for the car include a healthy 351 Windsor, higher stall converter, 4.11: 1 gears for the racetrack and cleaning up the body.

I have always liked cars and was always partial to Fords, but never really got interested in Falcons until my Uncle Kevin got his first one, it was a 1968 that was my Uncle Dougs car when he was in his teens and had sat on his farm in Alberta until my Uncle Kevin rescued it and started to build a street-machine out of it. I remember when I was only about 14 years old and Kevin would come to visit, we would always go for a drive and he would tell me all of the things he had done to it, and he would sometimes pullover outside of town and let me drive it the rest of the way home. I always looked forward to when my Uncle Kevin asked me to go for a ride in that '68.

Unfortunately that car met with an early demise when on a rainy night in Vancouver it had an accident but all of the car didn't die. My Uncle Kevin found a 1966 Falcon with no motor or transmission that ended up powered by the same motor and tranny from the '68. The first time I saw that car I had to have it and I told my Uncle that if he ever decided that he was going to sell It he had better offer it to me first. Well It took a few years but he finally decided he had too many projects and offered me the car. So I am now the proud owner of a 1966 Ford Falcon.
