Interestingly enough after doing all this research, I have found that the 1964 Monte Carlo Rallye Falcon Sprints now seem more like they were a prototype for the Shelby GT350 Mustangs, so much of the setup is the same. Obviously, cant say for sure, but its looking like a very large coincidence.
Galaxie 9inch LSDiff
close ratio T10
K series engine with mods to +300hp
longer steering pitman& idler arms
Stiffer front & rear springs, adjustable shocks
Front Kelsey hays 4 pot disc brakes
etc
I suppose that's how it worked, the Ford race program is what the future performance road cars were based on.
