It looks like a Cuban taxi, but it weighs 1250kg and has over 400hp. It's a great way to take part in one of the world's great races.

My dad and I went to a fellas house and bought a 64 Falcon Sprint for $15. Not a single panel on the car was the same shade of blue. We worked on her for a couple of days and I drove her for 5 years without a single problem. She was stolen from me and driven to death. The cops found her in the Santa Cruz mountains where she'd been thrashed to the point where the rims looked like flowers from having been driven on after the tires blew. So many good times in that car. I almost cried when she was hauled away for scrap.

It’s a shame you guys didn’t get to finish, but this video was fantastic. This is what I want to see. I’m sick of all the new supercars and hypercars and whatnot. Sure they’re cool, but this is what passion is about. Going out racing, smelling the wonderful race gas, hearing the roaring V8’s and flat 6’s… ah man. Yes.

Back in the days here in Jamaica, I was used to seeing quite a lot of those amazing cars and even driving a few too. Chris if you ever visit Jamaica for a vacation, give me a holler.

The car is a 1964 Ford Falcon with the wedge style body rather than the rounded & smother body style of the 1963. Jay Leno has a very nice 1963 Falcon Sprint that he obtained, look up Jay's 1963 to compare the body style.

The '64 Sprint was the best looking Falcon of them all, in my opinion, and perhaps the most well represented Falcon around the world in motorsports of all kinds. It's always fun seeing them mix it up on the vintage circuits, very cool. But seeing the angry little Cortinas drifting around the corners in opposite lock? That too is cool!

He makes amazing cars and tracks from all over the place accessible to all and with humor chucked in for good measure, you can’t go wrong. If someone else is going to be living my dream, it might as well be Chris. Keep it up team, great vids.
