Any 1964 Ford Falcon guys around???

[budnate]

Stumbled onto a 1964 Falcon 2dr 6cyl A/T car decent repaint with 5k and change on the odometor..I assume 105K??? car is really nice with mint orig Int.you could almost believe the miles as correct at 5K
light blue ext on light blue int..car is 100% stock..what is it worth and is there any demand for them today???

It was on a old lift in the back of a warehouse with a ton of crap around it..looked good from the floor and when I climbed up and looked inside I was shocked how orig and perfect it appeared.

car can be had cheap..or at least it seems to cheap for such a nice car that old.

Thnx Bud.

now that's COOL http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif...some purist Falcon guy would crap his pants to see this car cut up ..but that sure looks like the way to go with it..its just a goofy falcon. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Yeah, do a replica of one of those crazy AF/X 427 Falcons from the mid-60s! Too bad the car's so cherry, it'll be a shame to alter it but...

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I think they're kinda cool, wouldn't mind having one someday.

Bud, you could try the Ford Falcon Registry (http://www.falconregistry.com/).

[budnate]

surfed around ..mind boggling how can a car that is 40 yrs old and in great cond be worth around 3500 measily bucks????hit some falcon site and there were several low mile cherry cars for sale in that price range,at least that was what they claimed in there add's... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

1. Because it doesn't have a 427 side-oiler.
2. Because it doesn't say "Holman-Moody" or "Motion" or some other high-dollar connection in front of its name.
3. Falcons were basically economy-oriented grandma and wife cars and not known for high-testosterone performance capability, not even the Sprint models. Hell, Carroll Shelby referred to the early Mustang as a "secretary's car" before being convinced ($$$) by Ford to improve its performance image.

But you already knew this.

Poor old (yawn) Falcon. My parents owned two, a new '62 and then a new '66.

[budnate]

well then this one is right up your alley Bill. you can run the kids around in it and tell them about how you rode around in one just like it..how cool is that?? heck they can jump up and down in the thing and nobody would care...

I will even check the timing and make a dash plaque "Tuned by Bud" that should bump up the value. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Yeah! I used to play with my Matchbox cars on the rear package tray while my Mom ran errands in the '66! No kid's car seats or seatbelt tickets in those days.

I almost accidentally killed myself when I was 4 years old. I was standing on the driver's side of the '62 and I released the parking brake handle. The car rolled backward, the open driver's door knocked me over and the left front wheel just missed going over me. The car barrelled out into the street and up on the neighbor's lawn and stopped. Another neighbor drove up and saw me looking dazed and figured out what I'd done. That was a close one.

Cool Fred!

Not to steal the thread, but anyone on this forum would definately enjoy this story...

Buying the Falcon was not the original plan...Unfortunately, I didn't fully explain what a 63 1/2 liteweight was to my father. That was the original plan. I had befriended Bob Tasca the previous year and was planing on attending URI. Bob even offered me a job in the used car make ready for &quot;gas&quot; money. Anyway, my Dad and I took a bus from Baldwin (Hempstead bus terminal) to E.Taunton RI, which is where Tasca was located in the glory days, to pick up my 63 1/2 Galexy liteweight, &quot;left over&quot;. The price was $2900 !!! Bob had four of them and whichever one started up, was the one I was going to drive back to Baldwin. In addition to the drag race program, Tasca was one of the largest Ford dealers in the US and their huge inventory of cars looked like a typical spring Carlisle. Well, we took a golf cart out to where the liteweights were parked and after two wouldn't start due to dead batteries, the third one did. Unfortunatly in spite of being out in the wide open spaces, the ground shook, and the deafening sound of that 427 sounded like we were inside an enclosed trailer... and thus went my chances of owning a 63 1/2 liteweight. I had to have a Tasca Ford, though, and since Mustangs were too scarce at the time, I wound up coming home with the Falcon Sprint. I was really pissed at Dad for a long time after that, but then again, in retrospect, there's no way I would have let my 16 year old son get involved with a car like that either, unless of course I was the only one that was going to drive it! I sold the Falcon in 68 and bought a Baldwin 68 SS Camaro 396, 375, then a 69 Baldwin/Motion Z/28 in May of 1970.
