I got my first girl in a 64 Falcon - I have always loved them after that ! Lol

That can be a real nice wagon....not that it isnt nice now but it could be better. Really a good one to start with. I would make a driver out of it instead of a show off car.
Black with flames -Oh Yeah !!

Ive always been a sucker for a wagon. I had to settle for a convertible wagon. The Ranchero. Where’d you find this one?

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

Blurry video

Now that’s cool, nothing like old school muscle. I sold my last hot rod 21 years ago right before my youngest son turned 16. I wasn’t about to turn that kid loose with a 470+ hp ‘65 Mustang that still had the stock suspension & brakes. That car was just plain scary...

It’s not nice at all right now
The front seats are ok
Aftermarket corbau I think
Seatbelts are mounted under same bolts as seats
Which is bad enough but they didn’t but a large washer or metal backing plate under the floor

Temp gauge is the only one that works
Oil
Pressure and Speedo are not working

Dash is all hacked up around the radio

The back seats need new foam and cover
The door panels are homemade
Carpet is terrible

Wow, that is a good bit of work...but if it is somewhat complete , it will be a good start.
Keep us informed, if you wish, i am always interested in resto threads

Good part is it has disc brakes and sort of AC and the engine and trans seem to be in very good condition

Only rust I could find was in the front floor and spare tire well
Both already patch over, not a fantastic job but you can’t see it so no biggie

Didn’t see any in the rocker panels
