    You lucky lucky boy!!!!
    My dream car is a 64 sprint …
    So so desperate to find a RHD ….. think there all gone

    • @BowdensOwn
      @BowdensOwn  3 года назад +1

      Hey Martin, I converted this to RHD when I first bought it as the rules here in Queensland necessitated it being RHD if I was to register it as my everyday driver back then. I was never aware of any Falcon sprint being made in RHD or converted down here as we already had the local 2 door falcon in production. There were a few Mustangs though!

    I am building a 64 FIA replica. Well done Sir. An American here. Love these cars. Where can I purchase the wheels you have on this car? I cannot locate them.

      Hi mate, the rims on the Sprint were a replica wheel from the 80's made by a company in South Australia that sadly no longer exists. But good news is the orginal Minilites have been remade and can be accessed by a few businesses who now resell them, Google this; "15" Minilite alloy wheels" to help you find them. Hope it helps, enjoy the project.

    Was a solid lifters version ever offered?

    • @BowdensOwn

      Not that I am aware of from the factory mate. The H&M race prepped ones might have, the Alan Mann ones a few years later could have too.

    I love this video. I've seen it more than once. Was it converted to Right hand drive before you got it? Looks pretty well done and it had to been a lot of work.

    • @BowdensOwn

      Better to have a late rely than never: We had to convert it here in Australia due to the registration rules at the time. I was using it as an everyday car here where we live in Qld, if i had it registered as a classic/ occasional concessional registration I could have kept it LHD, but was not to be. We used Aussie falcon parts and a few racing bits that our friend KB had sourced for the Falcon and as i did not want to totally butcher it, it was a big job. But drives a dream now!

      Hi @BowdensOwn do you have any more details on the RHD conversion? Where did you get it done or what aussie falcon parts did you use? I'm keen on importing a 64 Sprint from the States and would love to make it RHD!

      @@Lithfkn sorry again for the late reply... an XM Firewall, but went later flacon to have something better to drive with XY GT 16:1 steering box and rack there. XY stubs and brakes as well.

    What color is this, and is it factory?

      And can you share the wheel specs on this? Love the minilites!

    • @BowdensOwn

      @@kylegertridge3479 hi mate, originally it was a Ming Green, but when it was resprayed they made it a little bit darker than the factory colour to match Aussie Brian "Yogi" Muir's Sprint that also raced in the UK.
      The wheels are a 15"x7" Aussie minilite replica that were made in the 80's, before they started remaking minilites and not made anymore.

    • @kylegertridge3479
      @kylegertridge3479 9 месяцев назад

      Thank you! If you know it, could you share the offset/backspacing and even the tire specs? I think it sits the best of any falcon I’ve seen and am looking to begin my own project.
