Ford Falcon (AU) TS50 2001

[RandomCarGuy17]

If PD ever model an AU Falcon, I would love for it to be this one. It just looks more interesting to me than other trims of the time.

Despite what I said though, I honestly don't know much about it though other than it was developed under Aussie Ford's performance division, which was "Tickford" at the time I think. It was also in production between 1999 & 2002.



Specs:
Engine - 5.6L Windsor V8
Drivetrain - Front Engine, RWD
Power - 335hp (250kw)
Torque - 369ft-lb (500 Nm)
Top Speed - 158mph (255km/h)

It's a beast of a car with a stroked 5.6L Windsor motor. 250kw if I remember.

I have been hunting for a real one of these for 10 years now,

How could the V8SC be in the game and not the road version?

I had the pleasure of riding shotgun when me and my wife took one out for a run in 2007. The interior was heavily worn, but the motor was strong. The dealer had $20k on it. Hindsight

I'm chasing down one in any condition, provided its not heavily damaged or has serious motor problems, I've been looking since 06' and not found one at all,

This one(black) was in Sydney. At a Blacktown used car(not Ford) dealer. My second day in Australia.

My wife had her 1960 XK Falcon and we were looking for me a V8(hence my gtplanet name). She just sold her '04 XR8 and we saw a detailer cleaning the exterior. Asked the salesman for a drive. He said it just came in and handed us the keys. We had the detailer in the car and my wife buried the throttle! Good car. Lots of scratches on the seats, steering wheel leather rubbed off, dirty inside.

It'll be tough. Those that own them, know what they got. My wife loved the car, but the interior made us pass. Like I mentioned, hindsight. Good luck. Seriously. There's one with your name on it.
