   "1968 Ford Falcon Futura"
  
   Back in them spaced-out 1970's, when Stars Wars--the truly original, awesome ONE appeared on the Big Screen, I was living in Richmond, Virginia; moreover, my cool step-brother always let me pretend I was driving his car, which he'd park atop our gravel driveway, and alongside me was my dog, Hoover--not named after the former President, but after the vacuum cleaner.  Anyway, I don't know if this was his model of the Ford Falcon, and I'm talking the Coupe with the 289 V-8 small block.  Here are some stats and performance levels:
  
RWD; plus, manual 3-speed gearbox.

288.5 Cubic Inches.

Horses:  195.

Torque:  288 lb-ft.

0-60 Dash:  8 seconds.

Quarter Mile Sprint:  16.7 seconds.
