Agreed - I have more fun flinging a low powered, good handling, small light car around than most high powered performance machines.

In 1966 dad and I looked all over Kansas City for one, had to settle for a demo 1966 Falcon sedan with a 289, but it was't quite the same. BTW I really did buy the car for 300 but have 1300 in fixing it up.

I remember them, or rather I have read about them - Ford Falcon Futura Sprint ? They came over to the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, but they met their nemesis, designed by my Avatar <---
- EDIT
1071cc...
They did well in saloon car racing over here though, beating Jaguar Mk2s etc. until Ford introduced the Lotus Cortina and Escort.
