The empty spot in the garage

With Big Red on the left coast the empty spot in the garage will need filling. A 2008 Lincoln Navigator L will fill the void. With 240,000 on the clock the Expedition is going to move on. My daughter is in need of an updated vehicle. She will be taking over the EXPO. One of the nice features of the new truck is that I can haul all the grand kids and attending adults. Rather than taking two cars to a movie we can all pile in and motor down the road.

The Falcons are still on the market. Had some interesting conversations with some folks. I was told once that the 1970 1/2 Falcon with 429 SCJ drag pack is more rare than the Hemi Cudas. Remember, I was told that. Folks keep thinking of the econo box Falcon. They had some very sweet models. My fave has to be anything Sprint.

I guess the problem is that when you have a rare car it is so rare that people don't know what it is. Let alone know of it's historic significance in the scheme of things. With only 90 cars made with the 429 SCJ option I feel that it is pretty rare.
