Its an version of the old 1960's American Ford Falcon which were made in Argentina from 1962 to 1991.

This particular version, is a conversion based on an 1973 Ford Falcon Furura SP by Hector Ripoli called a "Polme"

Indeed that's the right car.
But it had a specific name which I need for the point, so it's locked for you to come up with it.

Ford Falcon Polme

One word still missing (maybe it only applies to this particular car?): Polme ********* Falcon (don't count the stars!)
Still locked for you.

I don't think so; just a trick of the paintwork!:

Is the name you want "Polme Futura Falcon"?

TBH I cant find it called anything but a Ford Falcon Polme, but the translation from Spanish may be lacking.

No, but I've been trying to check if the extra name I have is actually correct and am having trouble doing so.
In that case I'll give you the point and call this solved, but perhaps someone else can come up with the other name and tell me if it really is part of the car's name or not, for another point?

Are you looking for "SP"?  The base car for the Polme is often referred to as the "Ford Falcon Futura SP".  A quick search does not provide a definition of "SP".  I suspect it could be the designation for a particular year of Falcon, or "Sprint", or something like "Special Performance".

No, it was a full word - and coincided with the name of a racing car manufacturer..
