Default Old newspaper articles about Falcons in the day

A few gems from the national library's newspaper archives, found while trawling through them this afternoon.

Police in 120mph Car Chase - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article110693030

'Immaculate' Phase III in canberra classifieds for $800, 1974 (2/3 down second column) - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article110769677

The Swansong for the mighty HO - 1972 - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article102003623

Another from the Canberra times - "Deathtrap or family fun car" bemoaning in one part how dangerous HOs, XU1s and the rest will be when they're old, like three or four years old. heh. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article101992363

And another from 1972 about the police interceptors with GT-like gear under a Falcon 500 body - being sold off and replaced - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article101995783

There's a lot of cruft there, and the interface can be a little unwieldy trying to find precisely where a search result appears, but it's still grand reading.
