Features Falcons done right?

I had a request for some additional pictures of my custom 1960 Ford Falcon Ranchero convertible. There off the cell phone, so they are not the best. Once the weather improves in Washington I plan to wax it up and take some good pictures. It's a blast to drive, sounds like a bunch of bad ass coming down the road.

 

My first post on here finally but yeah...

Here is some falcons ive built. Have had friends do most my paint as i am a car upholsterer(motor trimmer for you aussies)..... So most of the pics are of the interior as for some reason i didnt take many of the outsides

1962 XL Falcon Wagon
(shitty pics, but its all i got)





1963 XM Sedan





most recently finished and sold 64 ute...















And this is my current one im building, plan on keeping this one for a little ... bagged in rear on leaf springs, no notch as i live in a state where modifying chassis is illegal and dont want to go to the trouble and not be able to drive the thing.... i have NOS cruiser skirts (still to fit) and visor for this so should be a kool one... still gotta trim it and put all back together but yeah you get the idea

 

Awesome first post dude!

Aussie Falcons kick ass!!

Wow that 63 xm is frigging nice !!
I wish those were released over here in the States.

 

thanks i build that back when i was a first year apprentice, bout 7 years ago now...

 

Those australian falcons are cool. I wish the ranchero's had a grill as cool as that ute. Here is my driver.

 

I am pretty sure this is currently for sale. $9,200aud.
(if that link doesn't work, it is on www.carsales.com.au under '1963 Ford Falcon XL Deluxe). Has extra pics.

 

My baby got a shave!

















Now all she need is a nice paint job = )

 

Right on do you still have it?

 

SOLO 909,
I like the looks of the close shave. It changes my mind about 4 rds. Have you done engine, suspension mods yet?
Gona be very,very cool.

Thanks! Suspension - I did shelby drop with 1 1/3" cut coils, I raised the shock towers 1" and the back just has 3" blocks I also upgraded to the 65 mustange 14" rims to fill up the wheelwells a little more. No engine mods yet any idea what I could do to pep this up a little bit?

 

Solo,
A late model head (78-79) alittle stronger cam,headers,2-v carb, that is if its a 170 or a 200 I-6 Oh yea, and a 70s Comet -Maverick 8" rear end.
Next option: Sb ford v-8,302 roller motor and a c-4 or T-5 5 speed
And again a 70s Comet -Maverick 8" rear end. May won't to cut it to 551/2" for more and bigger tire & wheel. The 70s Mav- Comet rear is 1/2" wider than your stock rear end.
The v-8 change will most likely be cheaper and give better power for your $$$.

A lot of nice looking Falcons here and I keep coming back to see all the updates...I guess a wagon would be my choice. Are there an elusive parts on these cars and what years. I was turkey hunting last spring and ran across this one....can't save it though..last pic is a buck rub..he was back this year.

 

You're not the fella came to my place in Manifold Heights just after you'd bought this one by any chance? Must say it looks good!

Is Queenscliff this weekend? Bugger, I have to play cricket on Sunday.......
Not my Buick, still just got the early Falcons in my shed. Working on an XP sedan delivery now. Hope Queenscliff is good.

 

Here are the latest set of pics of my old falcon that I sold to a friend, finished out the bodywork, powdercoated suspension parts, and a fresh 427.

 

Rocks: It's perfect! Wouldn't change a thing! What is the axle out of?

 

Thanks Crush, the axle is out of a fullsize 65 ford truck that I shortened 3".
