Title: FC Olds Post by: customFC on April 16, 2004, 11:53:16 PM Here's a real sleeper. This FC was owned by Tony Burrell. Car featured a 215" Oldsmobile V8. This is a lightweight Aluminium engine that actually weighs less than a grey. Car was a quick performer at 15.3sec 1/4 mile times. Very impressive for the early 70's. Car was featured as a road test in the Dec '71 Custom Rodder.
Regards Alex Oh, BTW, check out those crossplys. SCAREY STUFF! Title: Re: FC Olds Post by: customFC on April 16, 2004, 11:56:30 PM Here's a pic of the engine from the front of Custom Rodder. Check out the vacuum wipers.....more scarey stuff.

It may be a FE and he has tried to improve the look of it ;D. Note the door strips and no rear fins! :o Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: FC Olds Post by: nicko on April 17, 2004, 12:30:01 AM i wonder what brand power booster is in it,as its very neat and there would not have been many choices in those days.

Title: Re: FC Olds Post by: mcl1959 on April 17, 2004, 08:16:51 AM I think the master cylinder is XA, possibly the booster is as well.
"GTF" number plates are FE as well. Ken Title: Re: FC Olds Post by: ACE on April 17, 2004, 09:26:21 AM In the write up it says a Falcon master cylinder and a Torana master vacuum with a Austin 1800 power unit ;)
