Customs '61 Falcon Wagon Mild One...

Nice Falcon Wagon! I'd like to get one of those to pull our '62 Shasta Compact.

 

Myself as well, if you need anything for parts, my collection came with about three and a half extra engines and misc stuff.

 

Thanks guys, I think I DO need a fuel sending unit... this one is all over the map. It didn't work at all at first, now within the last few days it's been bouncing all over the place with no correlation to the fuel level at all... gonna check the wiring first, might have some excess resistance somewhere.

 

About the tires.
Im not sure what style are you goin for exactley, but i got these Cornells from Nads, which bought them for me at Pep Boys for less than 50$ each.
These are 155/80/13, for that "5.20s" look, and for what they cost theyre pretty much unbeatable, and they are good tires too.
Nads also told me that these 13s are no longer available, but from what ive read you can still find'em in some places.
The best alternative to these is Han****.
Theres 14s too.

 

I wanted a thin whitewall, but was mainly concerned with having the tallest tire I could get to keep the rpms down on the thruway. The 155's are still pretty easy to find around here, but I wanted something taller. I'm on the hunt for a 3.10 falcon rear or ge****t, this car has the 3.50's and it's still wound up pretty tight at 60-65 mph.

 

Longroofs are the ***s!

 

I see, and understand you perfectly. Althou w/ the original gearin on my car and almost original tire size (165/70/14 was original) im still lookin for taller gears too....

 

I think I'm going with 175 80 13s, those you can still get. I want a taller tire!

 

great wagon, sold my last one (aussie 64 xm falcon wagon) and have kicked myself every day since! Have a line on another one right now, hopefully it turns out to be nice!

 

Great looking roadster, Andy!....oh, wait, sorry bad habit....

Great looking wagon so far!!

 

There on the way!! Can't wait to see those 4spokes mounted!!

 

Well this was Awesome to find!!! Let me provide the newest update. This now sits in my driveway, I'm trying to figure out how it switch owners over the years. BTW it is in Ontario, Canada now.

I just bought this last week, got it plated yesterday.

His gas tank issue is that it wasn't grounded. Needs some love I'll add updates if there is interest. Put a new 4 core aluminum Radiator designed for a V8 this week.

Thanks for lowering and all the work you put in.
