Oh, and from "phillyc" from FF

Based on the white mule. The picture is 790 pixels long from bumper to bumper. The rims are 71 pixels in both vertical and horizontal. Therefore the picture is undistorted. From front axle / wheel centreline to front bumper its 141 pixels. 456 in the wheelbase. 195 pixels from rear wheel centreline to rear bumper. 237 pixels tall.

What does all this mean?

Based on this the wheel size of 16" or 408mm then the length is 4528mm. Clearly, not long enough.

Based on 17" or 432mm, it will be 4806mm long. This will be used as the basis.
Height is 1442mm tall.
Wheelbase is 2774mm long. (seems far, far too short...)
Front overhang is 852mm
Rear overhang is 1186mm

The current BF falcon is 4854mm long and 1444mm tall. Wheelbase is 2829mm.

Considering comments by Ford Racing boss Ray Price that the Falcons wheelbase will have to be shortened to fit project blueprint, then I'm not sure about this car in the photo.

Is this really it? I think its a BA with different bits and pieces added. Not the real deal. "



And some kindly folk have done some photoshops as well, more accurate than mine

It does raise the question, I think we might be jumping the gun. Could be just a BA/BF mule with the underpinnings of the orion under the sheetmetal. The drip feed of information seems to be working again..
