Scalextric C4365 Ford XY Falcon Police Car
Ford Falcon XY 351 Police Interceptors. ˜The story goes that with the world™s fastest four door production car, the XY Ford Falcon GTHO, now prowling the streets in Australia in the early seventies, the Police were at a loss to come up with anything to keep up should a pursuit ensue so, they decided to fight fire with fire and ordered a number of special GTHO Police spec™d XY Falcon 500's that were known as ˜Pursuit™ cars, or ˜Interceptors™. Was this the fastest XY Falcon Made? The 1971 Ford XY Falcon 351 Police Interceptor was one of the quickest Aussie cars back in the day. It™s rumoured that there was only 6 of these special interceptors built for the Victorian Police although others say 10?... I™m guessing that the build spec and production numbers would have been a fairly closely held secret back in the day... in an attempt to keep those who might like to try to and outrun them in the dark... Victorian cars like this white one were made at Ford Special Vehicle Orders (SVO) with engine code (H) & trans code (L)... reportedly capable of 162mph... yes, faster than the GTHO ... and much rarer. The blue car is a NSW Police Special, a 1971 XY NSW police car spec™d with a T code 351/4V, FMX and LSD 9'... it also had GT suspension (6 leaf) and the GT 54h body that has extra strength features welded to the chassis that standard cars didn't have, required for the extra power... it also has factory dual exhaust. I™m sure there™s as many myths out there about these cars as there is fact ... some even say that individual stations modified their own cars to improve performance ... whatever you believe, these cars are a important part of our performance car history and we salute those who preserve them...™ Item Length - Without Packaging (cm) - 17 Item Height - Without Packaging (cm) - 5 Item Width - Without Packaging (cm) - 6 Item Weight - Without Packaging - 0.1 Item Scale - 1:32 Scale Batteries Required - No License line - Ford Motor Company Trademarks and Trade Dress used under license to Hornby Hobbies.
