I heard that it was called the 959 because thats how many test drivers the prototype killed.

@stephdumas: I can assure you that the Roadpacer wasn't sold in Australia.

I dunno, winning lotsa races?

@LandofMinos, believes in dog.: It is a common misconception that the Granada and the XD Falcon were the same car. I believe the headlamps and indicators were the same but apart from that the two cars are completely different.

There is one group of people who will make some money out of this lamentable tale and it won't be the student or the towing company or Facebook or even The Times.

At the age of eleven, one cold winters afternoon, I was standing on the fence at a corner of a now defunct racetrack watching the Golden Years of Australian car racing.

The good news for the day however is the confirmation that the Falcon will have the 5.0 Coyote engine fitted from June 2010.
