Close friend has a ‘61 Falcon Ranchero project that got stalled years ago
After watching “Ford vs Ferrari” film, had a vision for a Shelby tribute shop truck, done right and period correct. Think 1965 GT350 influences like white with blue stripes, grey cast American mags(sans centercap) and Mustang interior
289/5speed of course

Guys,

I would like to connect with the current owner of this Falcon. It was sold by its builder in April of 2019 in the Portland, Oregon area. If you can get me in touch with the owner please send me a PM. I am also going to post this in the "Falcons... Gasser style..." thread. Thank in advance for any help you can offer.

 

He has this in a build thread on the Hamb and another build thread on another car but can't remember his user name.

 

Thanks LB. I hadn't ever seen this car before on the HAMB. I came across it Sunday while roaming the interwebs.

 

I'm pretty sure I have his threads saved but with 26 pages of ones I saved it will take me a bit to find them.

 

I'm pretty sure this is the member you are looking for. @1971BB427 he lists a 1963 Falcon with a 465 BBC in his profile. Maybe start a conversation with him. And he lives in Oregon

BUT he doesn't show build threads he must have just posted in other threads.

 

Thinking of better times today...this was at the Ford Product Design Car Show....this pic was the first time I had the car out ever... I just got the front end totally rebuilt, the disc brakes were on, new carb, was a good day...they take a pic of you and your car as you drive in and send you a nice calendar...would have loved to return this year with my new motor thumping...

 

Looks good!.....

 

BEAUTY.

 

Hello,

When our son was just getting close to driving age, we had already looked at several cars for him. He was not too enthralled about going out with us to buy a car at the time. So, we did our parental duty and went shopping, knowing that a single car for him was going to raise our whole car insurance plan right off of the starting gates.

Plan A was to have him learn to drive with me in our two family cars, both stick shift cars. He learned well and was ready to do all stick shift driving as a teen. Gas mileage and all of that stuff for his age group played an important part of teenage driving.

But, when it came time for his actual driving test, he wanted to take it in an automatic shift car. So, we sold one stick shift wagon and bought an automatic for him to take the test. He passed with flying colors. Now, the search was on to get him his own car. Down the street from our old house in OC, there was a Comet Sedan that was pristine. Then we found a Ford Falcon wagon with a small V8 for sale and looked to fit all needs for him and later for us as a family. (surf wagon,etc.)

This is what we had proposed to our son as a final project.

It was his choice, but he did not want the Falcon Station Wagon, even with the nice add on accessories. He said he did not want to be the only kid with a station wagon, when all of his friends drove 2 door sedans or trucks. For us, trucks were not going to happen, so we relented and got him a fairly new 2 door sporty sedan with a 4 speed, like his friends. He was a conscientious kid and kept that sporty sedan (not a Ford) for 100k miles and then sold it to his friend for $1, later on after his college years.

My wife and I would have loved that little Falcon wagon with the V8 motor. It would have fit our beach/surf lifestyle quite well. But at the time, the wagon was sold when we were still deciding on getting it for ourselves.


In a previous thread/post:
Hey D,
Here are two sample of what was around the local scene in So Cal area where we hung out as teens. They are not the exact cars, but similar in clean looks and style. This was several years before the hi-jack style started showing up. It looks like it could win at a car show or at the drags.


We have seen several at the local weekend Cars and Coffee events in So Cal. (Still, with that American Racing Equipment mag style wheels.) It is just a classic look from the times those wheels came out, back then. There were whitewall versions of the same small Ford, but if a teen had it for his/her own car (and not a family car), then the switch was made to blackwalls.

Good luck in your research. Here is one drawing I did for my son's first car. He wanted a small car with style and room for 4. He looked at the wagon we saw, then graciously declined. He wanted a 2 door coupe similar to his friend's cars. If we had bought that wagon, and he outgrew it, it would be fine for our alternative family car for my wife or me.
