Falcon Wagons!! Who's got em'? PICS!!

Had a '60? maybe a bit newer, but not much, going to college way back. Total rust bucket. Wagon on top of things. The rear end sheet metal was rusted off even with the top of the rear fenders. Sounded best when the exhaust fell off. Had an odd quirk that the alternator (maybe generator?) light would come on any time you got over 55 MPH. After a while, you had to slow down to recharge the battery.

Good times, met my wife while driving that car. Thanks for jogging my memory.

The other memory is that my father let me take an auto mechanics class at the local High School (they don't have these any more, do they???) and I rebuilt the S6 (very small... 144 CI???) when I was 14, well before I could drive. The rebuild lasted me most of the way through college, when I sold it for no real good reason other than to get a cool car..... a Rambler Classic!!!!!!!!!

Taken from here on the HAMB, cool...

 

hey heres mine ..306 stroker an weiand 174 blower 4speed toploader

 

How about my uncles comet-65,3 engines and about a million miles!

 

Here is mine, its in for some major work , we are painting it, new gauges and complete interior. Hope to have this puppy totally finished for the roundup in austin. The interior is getting a little over the top so we will cross our fingers!

 

Here's mine. All original rust free 64. Only had it since June and just got the new wheels on it. Still need to lower it (not sure about lowering the back but the front needs to some down even though it is setting level).

 

cool wagon bro did you slick the roof and paint the upper stainless or is that the way it came?

 

Here is my wagon as it sits right now... 5 lug susp, different wheels and some lowering are in its future.





Boernestage, is that a 60 or 61? it is laid out, whats been done to the susp. Airbags I assume.. any better shots of the roof?

 

One of my customers - friends had a 65 2dr wagon back in the 70's set up as a gasser, blown 351 cleveland ,axle, black with pearl blue flames the car is still around sans motor I ended up with that for my 65 ranchero the guy who has it now just stripped the paint within the past few years it's sitting in a garage in farmingdale still has the blue diamond button tufted interio that was done over 20 yrs ago

 

yea its bagged with shockwaves all the way around and some cutting done to the floor. ithink i have some good shots of it on our website in the gallery. you can try that or i will try to post some also. our website is on my signature down below this posting.

 

Couldn't agree more. I took my driver's license test in my Mom's '64 Falcon Wagon in '66. Then drove it thru my "formative" years. Dark green, woody with a 260. Any one seen it ?

 

Mine, bought it in 1988 ,drove it for years..Now its languishing in a Barn, been there since 2006. I'll get it out this year.maybe.

 

cool car do you have any more shots of it? the wheels look cool and differant what is it about them , the caps or are the wheels painted silver, whats up with it?

 

This was my first car. I got shit back in high school because it was a wagon. Also because it wasn't an Impala. I ended up selling it to work on my 64. I think it was a good decision, but sometimes I miss the Falcon.

 

hey heres mine love the long roof

 

should have never sold it...

 

Here are some more shots! Hope they come thru.

Fuckin love em my first car was a sixty fou 2-door wagon with a 260 -v8 drove the fuck out of it all through high school till i bought my first pickup which was a 58 ford custom cab which i still have today and gave it to my son recently which is a problem cause he is as bad as i am wish i still had the falcon though!
