I found that today, I have never in my life seen a supercharger setup designed for an i6 go for sale on craigslist. I don't know much about old Falcons, is that option as rare as I would imagine?

8) it was never an option for the falcon. remember that in 1960 the falcon was an economy car designed to compete with the vw, studebaker lark 6, the rambler american, and the corvair. it was however a popular enough car that the aftermarket felt there was a place for some parts for the falcon, and they produced a few.

That fellow had it posted here at the same price.

I talked to Craig at Paradise Wheels,They own the rights to Paxton's SN-line up of Superchargers. he said he has the tooling to reproduce the Falcon Supercharger brackets and such and plans to offer a Supercharger kit for the early Falcons in the future.

Paradise Wheels Inc.
We Are PAXTON
Vortec merged with Paxton recently and decided they no longer wanted to deal with McCullough/Paxton centrifugal superchargers. So we bought everything from them: tooling, engineering drawings and blueprints, complete parts inventory and the rights to reproduce anything needed for the SN Series ball-drive blowers. We got it all - from McCullough through Granatelli to Paxton, 1952-2000. We can now provide complete repair and rebuilding service for Paxtons. All parts are available separately. We specialize in GT350 and Mustang 5-Liter kits which are complete from the correct Cobra carb enclosure box right down to every nut, bolt clamp, bracket and gasket. http://www.paradisewheelsinc.com/

I bought one of those SN-60's this summer. What I got was an entire set-up for a '61 Falcon 144" six cyl.

I wonder what happened to it?

Ebay's got one
Paxton SN-60 Supercharger Kit Hot Rat Rod Blower

Mustangaroo, that thing has got to be fun to drive..

If they would start reproducing them, just think a 200/250 with a paxton blowing into a 4v throttle body and fuel injection HHHHMMM might cost a LILmore but dusting a V-8 with a six is priceless LOL
