Features Falcons done right?

A few more:

 

One of you guys "down under" want to send me a visor for my '60 Comet wagon?

 

$$$$---Yep!! No freeze plugs in the ends of the heads !! Dirt track Claimer engine guys tried this too >>>>.

 

Sweet stuff. the white car (?) is a H-M from the Monte Carlo.

I saw the black car (maybe, how many can there be) at Miller.

Sweet stuff, thanks!

 

Hey all, just stumbled on the thread--really cool. I love Falcons. I recently photoshopped this for a fellow HAMBer.

 

Fiddy: Ain't Miller raceway a great place?

 

Very nice examples Falcon red...

 

found this on net somewhere.... soz, can't downsize it

 

I like that Aussie body style. It's got the same front end lines and bumper as my '63 Comet, the headlights and grill look like they came off a pickup, and the rear from this angle is half falcon half comet.

 

Will see want we do for you have to find one first

Get a hold of kevin at Razor custom paint in Chesapeake,VA. H e can tell you what it is.

What I'm wondering is how they got it to drop this low in the back ?

 

airbags and short tires

 

might as well toss my wifes falcon in here now that it is painted and has the cragars on it. Hopefully a friend of mine is going to toss some flake on the roof soon.


Also, I found this gasser pic recently and it really makes me want to take my falcon this direction even though I doubt i will...

 

the gasser belongs to tom taylor.. it runs like it looks..he owns the "fosters freeze" in rosamond ca. cool cruise night there.. he has some sweet early fords.. the '64 custom 500 i'm building came from him.

 

Here are a few pictures I took

 

Lotus,
Love the wifes Falcon, great stance,and yes the flake on top would realy set it off.A small block 289-302, c-4, comet -maverick 8 in. and you would be good to go.

Lotus,
Just thought of something, since you have a good 200 6 in the wifes car already, and she wants a floor shift, why not a T-5 5 speed ?

Just thinkin!

Lotus,
Mint to add this. Sinse there is already a good 200 6 in the wifes car, and she wants a floor shift, how about a T-5 5speed? (great gas milage) And a 4 lug 8 in. rear end out of an early comet -maverick (70-71 )

Just thinkin

Little update from the comet crowd.

 

Where would someone mount the bags in the rear ?

 

Currently it has a 170 in it that runs great (recently rebuilt).

For the wife it is fine for the around town grocery getter. She just wants a floor shift.

down the road when it is time for a new motor I am going to go with a 200and probably a T-5...but we are not in a hurry. she does want AC though...and a stereo now though.

and here is another neat falcon picture I found somewhere on the web.

 

Fantastic looking. That will be cool. Hope ya find the color

 

This used to be mine...........

Posted by Flatoz yes the madmax interceptor gave every teenage aussie boy a boner when the movie came out.."


Sorry Dude, I must have had my head under the hood of my 327 down Moorabbin way, and not noticed the Madmax coupe cult..............must remember not to bend over like that when there are Falconuts around

Still got the 327......had a 65 Mustang here for a while but got sick of wrestling with the steering to keep the 'stang on one lane! P.S. did Mustangs ever come with working brakes or should I have paid extra????

 

I recieved a few requests for more pictures of my falcon, so here goes!

1961 Ford Falcon Tudor Deluxe Wagon

FAQ:
Q: Did you drill 102 small holes for acorn nuts just to make a statement?
A: Hell no, I'm not that ambitious! The deluxe models have stainless trim that covers the entire side of the falcon. Unfortunaly I have neither the money for the Mac's repop clips nor have I taken the time to source an alternative. Yet.



Powered by a 260 V8 that I rebuilt last summer. A good story there too. Apparently, from what I've been told, the first Ford dealership in Wisconsin (or maybe Sauk county) was here in Reedsburg. My 60 some year old buddy and mechanical mentor (taught me quite alot, exspecially about johnson/evinrude outboards) was actually a mechanic there before it closed down. We even used some of the old tools from there. Stupidly, I took very few pictures. One I remember quite particularly is a holder that you mounted to the work bench and you could bolt a cylinder head to it.

Behind the 260 sits a three speed manual that needs gone through sooner or later. It's not broken so it aint been fixed yet, but it's nearly there. Probably will look in to that this summer.



The interior is not much to look at. Swapped in early mustang buckets, $5 swap meet tach on the column. Oil pressure and temp guages are hidden in the glove box.



Final interior color will be black. I'm not fond of the steering wheel but I was 15 when I bought it. It's funny how your tastes can change between 15 and almost 19. Not a long time but, a heck of a lot happens. I'm going to go back to the original style wheel for '61, but in black. More to happen in the interior as soon as I pay off tuition for the semester and pay my taxes.



Striping on the back was done by my dad. He doesn't think its much but I couldn't be happier. He'd never done it before, picked up some brushes, practiced for a month, and away he goes. He's quite handy at it. No Von Dutch, but pretty cool for small town Wisconsin.

Well thats all I got for now!

Hope ya'll enjoy.

One of my favorite cars is the 63 Sprint. We overhauled the 260 in one in my auto shop class in 1971. I learned a lot about Falcons that year.
The styling were so clean then. Teh Sprint had a lower roof than the standard 'coon.
