SA's '63 Falcon Sedan Delivery
Looking for more photos and historical info on the LeMans-striped Falcon Sedan Delivery that SA / Brock used in the early days.
...is it true that it is in the Boulder museum?
This is what I have on it:
"Brock’s 1963 Ford Falcon sedan delivery. Pete bought this car new while he was working for Shelby. A regular tow truck and parts carrier, it was not a standard Ford. While still relatively new, the Shelby crew fitted the Falcon with a 289ci Hi-Po Ford engine and gearbox, along with a fancy exhaust set up. After these modifications, the Falcon was just the ticket for towing Shelby’s Cobras to tests and race meetings.
The Falcon was also apparently the first car at Shelby to sport racing stripes. Along with the Hino transporter, the Falcon proved a useful workhorse throughout Brock’s Hino and Datsun days, when it wore “Team Samurai” badges. Pete only sold it in the 1980s and it now forms part of the Shelby-American Museum in Boulder, Colorado"
