    ive been looking for a old facon(60-63) for awhile now. i wanted a hardtop but 2 much $. i found this little rust free jewel an hour from my house & its really fun. engine 144c.i. & 2 speed tranny lol arent gonna be much fun.

    so i talked to shadetree about a swap & as much as i would like a manual tranny im going to stick with an auto. ive thought about it and my 2 choices are a 2.3 turbo from an svo or a carbed 5.0 with a c-4.

    i cant wait to get this started its so much fun, it does have a mu
    stang interior with a working 6 way power drivers seat. i have no way to post pics so my buddy from team lighting (jerry will post them. tks for looking & enjoy!

          Great looking Falcon, I'm sure you will enjoy it, we also had a Falcon not nearly a nice looking as yours, ours was the ugly Ford Pea Green.
          An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

              Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

                Or better yet, 2.3 ecoboost.

                Lima turbo is a bit cheaper though.

                  20B turbo! That would confuse the hell out of people.

                        Nice.
                        My first car was a '62 straight 6 , 3 on the colume.
                        White with blue interior.
                        All stock.
                        Got destroyed by a garbage truck.
                        If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                          IF you decide to put on different wheels. Keep the stockers. They're a direct bolt on for a stock Festiva.

                            Nice car, but what's that interior from? Seems a bit out of place. Guess I'm just old-fashioned.

                            Good luck with the build, hope you enjoy that beauty!
