A found a 4door ford falcon. Thinkin about 66? Decent body. Plate on it hasnt been renewed since 1995. Interior looks in good shape but there is stuff on top of it? I dont know much about them but I think it would make a cool driver! Whatya think? Worth enquiring? Are they junk? There was a motor on the floor in the corner just sitting there, at a quick glance it looked like a six banger. What should I OFFER if it is for sale?
15 years ago I bought a 68 falcon for $400. It had a 289, 3 on the tree and duel exhaust with turbos. I drive that sucker for 5 years and had a ball. Finally sent it to the crusher when the frame dissapeared over the rear end and it got crooked. I salvaged the drive train and some odds and ends, but it was a sad day to see it go up the ramp truck.
A '66 4-door isn't particularly cool, so don't expect to ever sell it later for much at all. It's only a good car if you love it because everyone else will say "I had one, but it was a 1961" or "I had one, but it was a 2-door." Around here, that car would be worth a few hundred dollars and not much more, ESPECIALLY since it is a project that doesn't run, drive, isn't registered, etc, etc.
probably not worth doing any work to. . . even washing it might be a waste of time. 66's look like big toyota's.
