Dusty corners of the NHRA Classification Guide

Continuing the Ford theme, here's another small Ford:

This is the 1962 Ford Falcon Deluxe 2-Door Wagon.

With a 144/85(85) inline-6, its factors are even higher than the previous Mustang. The manual factor is 30.40 (V/S only, at 2040 w/driver), while the Auto factor is 31.06 (V/SA only) If anyone wants to try building one for Super Stock, the only classes are SS/P & SS/PA and you'd have to find a way to drop the weight w/driver down to 1615 lbs!

The other engine is the optional 170/101(101) inline-6 [25.58/26.13]. All the classes are the same, but less weight removal would be needed.
