Ford Falcon 70,000 mile durability run Pt

In 1965 6 stock standard 6 Cyl Falcons were driven flat out for eight days around a twisty 2.2 mile mountain test circuit until they had completed a total of 70,000 miles, aprox. 5000 laps per car. Despite 3 cars rolling and a collision with a 2 ton rock all the cars finished without mechanical breakdowns. This was a make or break stunt by Ford to show how tough the new XP Falcon was.
