    I run a Ford in my Falcon but something that turns 9500 r.p.m's with that compression you can not not like it. And a stick trans at that. Would like to see some vidoe with that thing pulling 9 grand or so.

    Inadvertantly put bigs-and-littles on her.

    I went to put 195/75/14s all the way around only to discover as I was mounting the wheels on the car that I had two ‘64-‘65 Falcon/Mustang wheels, and two Pinto/Fox wheels. So I stuck a pair of the 13-inch steel wheels that came with the car on the front.

    Good tip for people wanting to stay with small caps but wishing to change to a Mustang II front end or rear axle: the small caps fit the Pinto/Fox wheels with the 4 on 4.25-inch bolt pattern.

    Fuzzy Night,

    Your Ranchero is truly incredible and the tri-powered V8 definitely stands out in a sea of inline sixes.
    Congratulations on an outstanding ride.

    This must be the old "panty raider". If it is, I remember seeing this car hangin' out up in Chico years ago.

    For some strange reason I really like this car. It's on ebay right now. I know it's not a falcon but what the hell.

    Yep, it's the same car. It sat for the last couple years with no engine, but then he realized that he actually had everything to put it back together other than some gaskets. A weekend later, it was running.

    Not to my knowledge. It sat under a tree for many years, but could have been green back in the 60s.

  17. Here's another pic I found of my old wagon. Sold it about 13 years ago. I'm hoping I can buy it back.

    Fordguy, some of it looks a little sketchy, but overall it looks like a wicked muthatrucker!

    I’m interested in lowering my ‘61 Futura, but it’s my daily driver, so I don’t want to compromise the ride and maneuverability (i.e. parallel parking) too much. I see that the Hot Rod Magazine Rustoleum Falcon had 2 coils cut and 3-inch blocks in the rear, so I was thinking that 1 coil and 2-inch blocks might suit me, but I’d love some input on this decision from those in the know.

    Looks great Paul. BTW, I wanted to thank you for your PM on Fordsix the other day. I hadn't yet gotten around to writing a response.

    Are those 13s or 14s on your Ranchero?

    They probably won't fit a yank Falcon, remember our cargo windows are much shorter......

    Brandon's Falcon (mentioned previously in this thread) is in the August 2009 issue of Car Craft!

    It's interesting they say it will become the next trend...
