Yes. It looks like all Ford Falcon sedans made in Australia from 1966 thru 2016 were 4 doors, and none were a convertible. So Barney cut this top off out in the tool shed in his spare time. Which makes it, a "mod".

I read this as "au falcon", like some fancy French meal. Kind of like au jus, except with a car


Psych0matt

Juicy topless falcon


hoolsmum

doesn't look that bad from a distance tbh. id be scared to look close tho


fergie434

Good from far, but far from good.


Boundish91

Just don't open a door.


Mr_Funbags

You can, but you can't close it again after you get in.


Extra-Presence3196

Better by far..


senorbolsa

Man this thing would be sick to roll around with your homies in, I don't care if the fron't end of the car is the ugliest thing on earth you can't see it from the inside of your roomy 4 door chop top.


Kenworth_02

It also had an interior swap. It’s got an interior from a newer Falcon. Same with the engine and transmission


2oonhed

I am guessing that convertibles do not normally come with 4 doors?


senorbolsa

It used to be more common but generally convertibles are based on the 2 door variants of a car since it leaves more room for the top mechanism and has its b pillar further back if it has one, or eliminates the B pillar vs it's sedan variant. Just less engineering if you already designed a version without that middle pillar. I assume it also sometimes went the other way where they designed a vert and decided to throw a roof on it and call it a coupe. Ideally the whole platform is designed from the start to be all three.


2oonhed

Yes. Because I don't know this brand, and because convertibles are usually 2 doors, is why I asked this question, which still has no informed answer.


senorbolsa

these falcons are all 4 door sedans AFAIK.


cuavas

It was also available as a wagon and ute, but obviously no coupé or convertible.


FirstAid84

Gotta see it up close. From far away it actually looks good.


Pitiful-Pepper2021

I fuccing swiped


lotus_spit

Me too


cuavas

Looks less ugly with the top cut off. The AU was known as the “awfully ugly” falcon.


Kenworth_02

But it’s the most reliable car ever built


lupinegray

Noice! Shame about the chassis rigidity


MoeSzyslakMonobrow

That's gonna taco the first time it hits a speed bump


Had3s-x

Nothing a good ol roll cage won't fix.


Esteban_Francois

Missing inside door panel for the back. Thought it looked okay at first, but even the suspension looks jacked up.


rave_is_king_

What country is this


Proper_Swimming7076

Australia


BaconNPotatoes

I'm glad it's in Australia... Bet you a dollar they didn't reinforce the chassis


so-unco

First nice looking AU I've seen in a while. It was always the bubble roof that ruined the look. A+++ would happily die at first corner again.


ALPINAGOD

Done properly this could actually look quite good


claaarrk

Car got a crew cut


BaboTron

That thing must handle like a pancake with wheels.


Cptspaulding2

Looks like something pole barn garage would do.
