falcon 144ci - now via steam!

[gb500]

hope this is correct forum unsure where a steam falcon fits in - and i dont think it had 6 cylinders but here goes

amazing whats out there - links to a 63 falcon with a steam engine - so not quite a 144 ci

seems the inventor was developing steam engines and housed it in his australian 63 falcon - drove it around australia and was flown over to the states to demonstrate it to GM/ford/ american motors etc etc in the early 70's

interesting, thanks for sharing.

Your name… gb500. I used to own a 90 Honda GB500 motorcycle. Is that the reason for your name?

A shame it never took off. I think the petrol companies put a stop to it just like they have done with many fuel saving ideas.
