Can't really tell on the front fenders thou, I've been looking for a different color under it. Wish there were more pictures of it somewhere to be able to better tell.

(The car came from out East at some point to Ill area. I did some checking on the title. The vin number was goofy at one point. Somehow a S got changed to a 5 by one of the DMV employees)

Keep sanding using fine sandpaper and not a air-sander...take down the layers of paint slowly until you see primer, then the color of paint, and more primer, more paint etc...you may be surprised what you find underneath...I did run across an old photo of a Falcon that raced out east long ago, but the colors were white & green though and it also had a name lettered on the door...sure it's a long shot but you never know, I'll have to dig up that old photo.

Nice pictures but the rear wheel wells are to nice in those. I've found out it was in Belton South Carolina around 2005. Smalltown so I called the auto parts store and asked about it. Got some gal that didnt know much but she gave me the name of a close dragstrip (Ware Shoals) so I sent an email there and got a reply saying he would ask around but I think that turned into a dead end.

Oh well, I gave it a good try.
