    Ford Falcon: Dick Johnson's XE

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 1982
    WHEN I was a youngster, Ford released a limited-edition Dick Johnson Special Falcon XE. They were light blue and came with a V8 or turbo six. Because they were blue, I'm thinking they would have been released in or about 1982 when Dick's first XE was blue. If my memory serves me right, then I'm surprised that with the XR6 Turbo and the Typhoon creating such a storm that nobody has mentioned it. The second part of my query is, do any of these things still exist?.

    Your recollection is correct, but they weren't released by Ford. Dick says 26 cars were built in Melbourne in 1982 with the help of Jim Faneco. There were two versions, a V8 Falcon XE Grand Prix and a Falcon XE Grand Prix Turbo. Dick has heard that some are being restored and that some out there are immaculate, but he hasn't seen one for a while.
