Mischief & Mayhem is a 1976 XB Falcon 500 Stationwagon. It has a 351 Cleveland engine with a 3 speed column shift C4 automatic gearbox. I purchased the car from Bob L who had intended using it for the Great Endeavour. Bob had competed in the rally previously and started to get the car ready but had run out of interest. The overall body and structure of the vehicle was in excellent condition for its age. Listed below are the modifications which transformed this family wagon into the fundraising go anywhere beast that we have today.

Many thanks must go to the companies which have supported us in maintaining the car Greg from City Suspension (3808 3266), Paul from Highway Automatics (3209 2299) and Ian Wells Automotive (3200 0860)
To date Mischief & Mayhem has traveled some 12,000 km around Queensland, through some rough and beautiful country. It has only been bogged twice, two bent rims, a blown spot light bulb and a couple of fuses. The reliability is a credit to the preparation of the vehicle and many thanks must go to David C for the hours of work he does on the car, thanks Dad.
