At first blush it seems to be a Ford Falcon, modifed for land speed or fuel economy runs. On the other hand it seems to short and wide.

A homologation special of some sort, I'd guess...

It IS a Falcon. A very special Falcon. But which one?
If you identified the man behind it it might help.

Yes! And that Holman Moody car was dubbed "The world's fastest Falcon".
After several Whaddyacallit where Karn and Paul both gave part of the answer and I eventually gave the point to Karn, I think Paul rightly deserves this one. He made the toughest part of the job.
