* A reader named Lindsay tipped us off to the story of “Old Red,” the Ford Falcon XY GT bought for cruising the Australian Outback that remains largely original, down to the thorough coating of red Outback dust. I volunteer to make the trip to photograph Old Red for a Driveable Dream feature story…

* Finally, this car really rocks.
