WOW! Right click save X3!

 

Didn't make the Ford show this year. Were there a lot of Falcons? last year it was pretty slim Pickens. LaGrasta, dude, I always love to see your car! you did in EXCELLENT job on that one. I am soooo close to getting back to working on mine again .

 

Thanks Kai, (falconizer 62). Knott's, for a Ford fan is like Mecca. Nearly 2000 Fords being shown this year!

My Ozzy 1960 XK,

 

i want an aussie crossflow head soooo bad.

 

80s chevy blazer k5 chassis, six lug, chevy spring hangers. pretty funny, I bet its fun to drive!

 

Thats not a x/flow head mate , its a 2v alloy head !!!

 

either way, you guys have way better head selection than us here in the U.S. The seven main six's real limiting factor is the integral head.

 

Falcons are cool!!

 

That alloy 2v head IS from the USA...

 

a few from the Hot Rod Reunion Bowling Green 2012

 

Yep, made right here in AZ!

That is frickin cool!!! Too bad the oil industry killed this car.

 

Here's mine!

 

sgtlethargic, thank you for that interesting piece of history. I had not heard of that before.

 

WOW. So clean and simple.

 

this will be my new project (as if I needed another) here in a couple weeks. tires, battery, engine gaskets, and it's a driver. i'm not even a Ford guy, but I love longroofs.

 

There's a certain beauty in simplicity. Your car is a perfect example.

 

Sorry for stealing an earlier posted picture but i have a question. What sort of money does a 64/65 sell for in nice/very nice condition? Were there many options? Excuse the questions

 

Here is my 64 falcon I have nearly finished. Air bags in rear, 221 with a lil work done. Can't wait to drive this one.

 

Does anyone out there have a comet with a falcon front end or vice versa?

 

I was asked to be a judge at a local car show for Relay for life along with a pinstriper I respect and my favorite custom paint guy and car builder here locally. At the end of the day, we were picking best of show and they were looking at a sweet original black 70 Hemi Cuda and a 69 Camaro with an LSI swap done right.... I on the other hand couldn't get over this totally gorgeous, red, original 260 4 speed 63 Falcon convertible that was loved and cared for and darn near flawless, right down to the original hubcaps.

As we argued over it, I sold the deal this way... i said, "Yes, the Hemi Cuda is cool and rare and expensive and done right, but I've seen a TON of Hemi Cuda's... I have NEVER seen a factory 4speed v8 Falcon convertible and I have NEVER seen one that nice for sure!"

They all agreed and we gave best original and best of show trophies to this nice old guy with a sweet little falcon... i think he cried when he got his trophies. Well done my friend. I'm not a ford guy, but i like cool cars and that little Falcon was cool.

 

Great story!

I've often thought a Falcon sedan with a Comet nose might look good. That's basically how the Comet wagons were done.

 

Anyone selling a xm or xp or xl panel van???
