Just added another one to the fleet
My 21 yr old son bought this falcon wagon recently

302 with a lumpy cam
C4 auto trans
Front Disc brakes
AC that doesn’t quite blow cold enough

Doesn’t look as good in person
It’s a little rough around the edges

The paint looks good in pictures but horrible in person
They painted over all the nicks and dings without repairing them
Only rust we could find was in the floor and spare tire well
I’m sure there’s some more lurking somewhere we didn’t test with the magnet

Needs some work to fix the minor stuff

We have converted all our other old cars from carb to EFI with five speed manuals
Haven’t decided about this one yet

I got more pics and a walk around video I’m trying to post

I wish I still had my old Falcon. I have a brand new set of dash knobs, the white with the siver inserts still in the box if you need them.

I think this one has black knobs
Have to go look to make sure

We spent all day yesterday fixing broken door handle rods and window regulators

Previous owner installed a dual container master cylinder and prop valve

Found the brake line to the rear axle was touching the headers and rubbing the bell housing

Adjusted the shift linkage and parking brake
Almost smashed it the first day , thought it was in park , but it wasn’t .cause the floor shifter hits the after market AC underdash unit

Runs and drive good though
it sounds fantastic

Let me know, you're welcome to them.
