 Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2007 5:21 pm Post subject: How can I tell what kind of Falcon I have? |
 |
|
I've got an AU Falcon (or so the badge on the back says.)
I've got no idea what kind of Falcon though (Whether it be Forte, Futura, etc.).
This is what I do know:
It's a series 1
It doesn't say "Falcon" or anything on the dash
It has power windows in the front, but none in the back
It has a clock on the dash
I know this probably isn't the right forum, but I couldn't quite figure out which one to use. My question sorta fits in with this topic though. |

| The big tell tale sign, is the grille.. If it has a silver piece through the middle of a small cutout, it would be a Futura. With front only power windows, i'd have to agree with twr7cx. |

My mistake, of course, the Au's had that tiny little clock built into the dash.
I was thinking of the clocks like the Fairmonts have, the analogue ones in the centre of the dash up high. |

the easiest way to tell is the model number on the VIN plate.
grilles can be changed. trims can be changed. model numbers dont change. |

Thanks guys.
I forgot to mention that it has a body kit. Everything (hood, rear, front, grille, sides, spoiler, lights) has been changed.
I'll check the model number in the light tomorrow.
Thanks for your help everyone. |
