Here is my daily driver.... 302, toploader and 8". Converted to RHD.


About to get a back 1/2 chassis, tubs, 9 inch, 15x10 Weld Racing wheels, 6:71 blown 289 (302 Mexican block, 289 crank & rods etc, 351W heads) and "restored" back to LHD.

Pro Street I guess...

Thanks so much for those pics. Awesome work. Did you raise the rear tail lights up as well when you made the fins or is that just how the Aussie cars are made?I can't believe you did that in seven days! You are amazing!
wow!

 

with gas prices going up i started driving mine again.

 

my heap...

 

holy crap Munster!!! your chopped down sedan is rad, but your ranchero rules!!!! 4 lug Cragars!! awesome! how'd you get your so low???

 

i love your car!! it's perfect

Here's the one I use to have. Falcons are tough cars to get the stance dialed in!

 

Anybody see the one in this month's Hot Rod? Rustoleum paint job and all!

 

thanks eric! i found the cragars years ago at pomona swap for $80 for all 4.
cut 2 coils in the front and 2" blocks in the back. i think the rear leafs are just worn out.

 

any falcon guy's know of stock seats from other fords that will fit a 64 sprint? front and back.

 

I'm running front buckets from a 64 Mustang. I used the tracks from the Falcon and had to drill two of the four holes in the seat to make them work.

 

BEBO,
I could be mistaken but I think that 64 to 66 Mustang stuff should bolt right in. The Mustang seat boxes on the floor may be higher, though. Are you missing seats or looking for different?

 

a friend of mine has one w/ no seats front or back. no tracks, no frames, no nothing.

 

What an awesome thread!
Was under the impression Falcons were a bit forgotten in the US other than the Mustang-type "paint-daub" fans. Love seeing some rodded examples. Here's a couple of pics of my daily driver 64 XM coupe. Injected 5.0 & 5sp-man......

 

Also, here's the current project, soon to be daily driver.
65 XP wagon with 4.1liter (250) alloy-head crossflow 6 & auto. All the running gear swiped from a '84 Falcon inc brakes etc....
Got to pull the finger out & get this finished as I've promised myself no surfing till it's done. Might have underestimated the time left though when I made that call!

 

I havent got one, but i always loved the 63 falcon..I think since i was like 13 or so. Some really great cars on here..sweet. definetly brought back memories!

 

Nice looking cars warren1328. Thanks for posting pictures, Aussie models are neat to see.

 

Kick ass thread.....I've always like those little coons.....I had a 1964 Sprint in the late 80's with a bench seat, 4 spd. & Holman/Moody SBF running little small skinnies.....

I wish I still had that ride...

warren 1328...
They are alive and well in the US
that's a sweet cross flow project. I'm building pretty much the same thing here except mine is a 62 with an OHC motor and four barrel intake.


Yours is quite a bit farther along, though
Great work

 

Here's some more shots of Chris' Falcon. It went down road like a dream after we put the new front end and rear springs in it.

 

I finally have my Falcon back on the road,,,,this car belonged to my daughter but she wanted something newer,,,,,so dear ol' dad has this thing for cars and he coughs up the cash for a newer ride and gets the title to the coon,,,

The car is pretty much stock with 13's front and rear but with a little rubber rake,,,,260 w/t 3 on the tree and is old enough to smoke a little but man this little car still has a lotta get up and go,,,the body is solid and sports the original paint,,,the interior is old, torn and faded.

Who knows what the future has in store for the coon,,,but I do have a 4-speed in the shop,,,,maybe some ol' 5 spokes,,,an raise it up a bit,,,no stright axle gasser type just the old 60's street fighter look,,

But for the time being i'm just having fun with it,,,,HRP

 

There is some great stuff here. in the '80's, when I lived in Calgary there was a 2dr wagon, looked like a '63 or so. It was medium blue with a dropped straight axle, Cragars & 427 badges on the front fenders. It looked pure wicked. Does anybody know the car?

 

warren1328, that aussie six looks super clean in that engine bay. Very nice job!

 

iowa car org steel i dont like the bbc tho
