Not sure who owned these two tough Falcons, but they sure are cool! The XA hardtop nearest camera appears to have Mt Eden Service Station signage on the front fender.

There were two different sets of Weetbix cards Roger. The image you posted is from the first series, while the cover from the booklet Rikko posted is from the second series.

It would be interesting to hear more about the car. It appears to have quite a rare combination of Vintage Red, bonnet black outs and tan trim.

Nah, sold it a few years back to a guy in Christchurch. Ex cop I think from memory and Secretary of the Chrysler Club. He apparently still owns it now.

Colours in photo don't do it justice. Not sure what the story is with black showing on bonnet opening but tan was seat cover.

Actually, looking deeper this is probably not the same car. While it is a Vintage Red/Tan trim R/T E49 it has been with the current owner for the past 40yrs in the NI.

I was visiting Moorehouse Muscle Cars in Chch a couple of years ago and the owner Daryn was talking about a red E49 he had there which he sold to a guy and his wife who stopped by. I thought he said the guy was an ex-policeman, and that the car was the ex-Ron Rutherford race car. But maybe I'm getting my facts mixed up.

Ralph Wright on the gravel return road. Must have done wonders for the slick tyres. Just as well they were much harder back in those days.

Ken Vincent's curious looking rail with minimal bodywork. Was quite rare to see rear engine drag cars then.
