any falcon owners here? lets see some pics!!

hey all, new here joined in December, and so far seen lots of cool stuff here, just wondering how many falcon owners are on here, so I thought I would ask owners to show off there cars! mine is a 65' futura hardtop, 289 block 331 stroker build, 40 over, edelbrock aluminum heads, RPM air gap intake and waterpump and fuel pump, holley HP double pumper, full MSD ignition including starter, Doug's tri-y headers into 2.5" X pipe to 2 Flowmaster 409's, calvert racing rear suspension with caltracs and wilwood disk brake kit up front, and lots more LOL!!

 

If you've been here for 6 months you should know those wheels just aren't going to cut it around here.

Or alternatively search for "falcon"

 

Looks like a real screamer... listen to Sixfive.

 

Wrong wheels or not....that is a bad ass looking Falcon.

 

Looks like a fast car.



I'll race you for pinkslips..........





PS......the search button is your friend!

lol, ya well the cragar s/s wheels didnt cut it on it either, and I dont think steelies and beauty rings would do the trick , although there is a few falcons on the links you posted with draglites and pro stars though.

 

thanks for the comments all, its been a costly build, but its worth it!! that being said CHUCKLES.... i think I better keep it a little longer....LOL!!!

 

lol now nothing wrong with steelies and rings

 

Why not? Cragars rule.

 

LOL, I know woody, just not for the look I was going for, now if it were a gasser then it would be steelies out back and fentons up front, like someone else's car on here... {brother} he is building the 57 ford gasser! which is looking bad ass!!

 

here's what it looked like with cragars 3 years ago. but wanted a crites tear drop hood so had one bought for me in exchange for the wheels, also wanted 15" wheels instead of 14"

 

haha i do have a pair of real old 5 spokes that my slicks are on waiting to get the new 10 spokes for the front on skinnys but love my cheap ass steels with the free rings from a ford van and bullet lugs from a buddy served me well for a long time

 

I got a '69 wagon..

 

mine .65 Australian sedan delivery .

 

woody, that is a nice setup!! i would like to go that route next year, I got lots of hood clearance with the crites hood.

 

I like it for the old school look but to be honest if i were to do it agin i might have gone the procharger route

 

i like the sedan delivery mikeey rat! good job.

 

I have a 64 futura and it's no where as nice as yours.I have a small build topic if you want to check it out.
Weld's are not you got a bad @ss ride man.

 

love the aussie sd also would be a bugger to shift with your wrong hand tho lol plus i would prob be driving over curbs all the time

 

Thanks MUNCIE, and I would like to check out the build!

 

Weld's or not you got a bad @ss ride man.Sorry about the mispelling...

 

LOL! its all good MUNCIE, and thanks again.

 

It looked great with the Cragars but the radials werent doing you any favors. Cragars arent that expensive, save up for a while and get another set. They are also making them with the direct drill patterns again........no more uni-lug crap.

 

I don't want to hurt anyones eyes until i get my new wheels on next month. nice stance you got on that mo-sheen there.

 

Ive got a 2009 Falcon but I don't think it's worthy of a pic. They are still makin Falcons down here.
Andy.

 

Thanks guys. Funny how ford Australia chose to use mercury comet front sheetmetal an Australian made grille with an earlier style body for 1965. I think mine is one of 1000 or so made in 65.

 

A 66 XP Hardtop is still high on my list (along with an HG Monaro). The Aussies will know what im on about!
Andy.

 

This is our '62 Sport Futura. It's a real POS but I'm determined to make a daily driver out of it.



(And yea, I hate those wheels and they will get replaced eventually.)

 

One of my Customer's rides sporting HURST

HURST RACING TIRES

 

Here's mine, owned her since 2001. Original 170 6-cylinder/3-speed car. New engine will be a built, Supercharged 200 w/T-10 4-speed and the correct vintage look......think "Factory lightweight with a six"
