    Here my 61 Falcon. Went bare metal on her. Live in Vegas. Doesn't rain.
    Has 200ci straight six, 2barrel adapted to it, and been switched to 4 on the floor.
    Daily driven. On bags too.

    Looks cool. I think I see bucket seats - Futura?

    What kind of four-speed are you running? Dagenham? Or something beefier?

    The whole drivetrain is out of a 65 mustang. Got the 2 barrel off a 289. Trans is the dagenham.

    Yeah there buckets also out of 64-65 mustang as well, they were upholstered by Lay Deluxe.

    Nice to see another round body on here. Cool to see it stripped down bare. Buckets and trim removed looks like its a Futura model. Would like to see your airbag set up.

    Hi Butch,

    Mine has a 170 6cyl with some Clifford goodies. Still has the Ford-O-Matic 2-speed transmission (for now). Front Disc Brakes and narrowed 8" rear-end.
    I'm currently finishing up the final touches on the interior.

    Jeremy, your '62 looks sweet!

    Almost anything looks good in red (to me) but I really like the interior also.

    I have got a set of wheels very simular I am getting ready to buy tires for to put on my '63. What size are your tires and do you know the backspace on your wheels?

    Thanks,

    Phillip

    There are some really nice Falcons in here, I just picked up this one a few months ago. These cars are a blast to drive and mine doesn't stay parked for long.

    Just finished this one. Australian XP Falcon sedan delivery (1965).
    Think I need some better side mirrors though :)

  21. LOve that dash!! Is that stock Aussie, or is that a Comet dash (too lazy to look up)??

    How do those kick panel speakers work out?? Do they interfere with leg room??

    GREAT wagon!!

    Does anyone here have 4 lug cragar mags that I can put on my 65 Falcon?

    Having a devil of a time finding such and I know it's like a needle in the haystack - but I figured I would ask...

    Hey cheers Cosmo.
    The dash is standard Aus for 64 (XM) & 65/6 (XP). Is actually a plastic version of the comet dash.
    Kick panels are from falconparts dot com and are great. Have them on my station wagon also and never a problem.

    That looks like a "flopped" much nicer version of my wagons dash! Your clusters look an awfull lot like our Comet clusters, and I too have the same kick panels and really like them.

    I was very lucky that they pretty much fell into my lap! Met a guy on the Ford Muscle site. It took a 8 hour round trip ride,and a case of Bud Light as payment!!! They're a little pitted, but they look good on my Ranchero! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1364786014.676431.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1364786085.658911.jpg

    Von Zipper, Everytime you post that little beast I walk off to the kitchen and look out wistfully at mine sitting in the back yard waiting it's turn. I'm having so much fun with the wagon, and I'm soooo damn busy with everybody else's stuff.... Ahhh.

    Thanks SGT... those are for golf carts and for 12' tires. I don't think they would work even on the relatively light falcon. but thanks...
