1970 Ford Falcon

The 1970 Ford Falcon represents a transition in the Falcon’s lineage, as it saw the introduction of the 1970½ Ford Falcon, effectively a rebadged intermediate car after the traditional compact Falcon ceased production in late 1969. This model was offered in two- and four-door pillared sedans and a station wagon, with no hardtop or convertible options available. Engine choices included a 250 CID I6, 302 CID V8, and the more powerful 429 CID V8, which also featured in other Ford models like the Torino. Transmission options consisted of a 3-speed manual, 4-speed manual, and 3-speed automatic. With a typical wheelbase of 111 inches, a length of approximately 184 inches, and a width of about 73 inches, the 1970½ Falcon stood out by providing high-performance alternatives at a competitive price, appealing to those seeking muscle car features in an accessible package.
