My new project 1960 Falcon Gasser

Here is my new 1960 Gasser I just purchased. I haven't decided on what I plan on doing, but I know one thing, Summer will be fun! She is ready for the road.

 

I love diamond tuck, those door panels RULE.

 

Nice ride. There's nothing like an early Falcon..

 

I like it but change the color of the axle .

 

I am open to ideas, what color?

 

Black or cast blast...

 

Where did you find that one? Yea I would go with black on the axle too.

Kool car.

 

thought I saw that one ebay or craiglist. nice. do the axle gun metal gray

 

Very cool looking. What does it have for power? What are the seats and console out of, Camaro?

 

I have to agree or if can swing chrome. Not spray on chrome . The car is cool tho ..

 

nice score!

 

It's a nice ride no matter what color you choose, enjoy the new wheels.

 

Falcon Gassers are gay .Only tri-5 chevys can be a gasser ,havent you heard ?Just kidding ,i love it.Is it a 4 spd. or auto ? We should start a Falcon Gasser club...

 

Y'all should be able to hold your own if need be.

 

This Gasser has a 355ci chevrolet motor with double hump heads, 2.02-1.60 valves, ported and polished Comp Cam roller rocker arms, Saturday Night Special Comp Cam, double timing chain, nostalgic Holley 750cfm double pumper carb, 1953 Henry J radiator, Honest Charley Super T10 transmission, IHRA/NHRA certified bell housing.

 

Yuck ,a sbc in a Falcon .The T-10 tranny is cool though...

 

I agree, but with only a few hundred miles, I can handle that for this summer. I will slam something else next winter

 

I like it again .Small block Chevys make good temporary engines ,till you can get a decent Ford engine for it.What kind of power plant are you thinking about ?By the way what rearend is in it?

 

Looks like it will be a fun ride!!

 

I saw it on ebay. You say "project" in the title- what do you want to change?

Gunmetal grey for the axle would probably look good, black for the leaf springs (will paint stay on?), and maybe see what's underneath the paint on the shackles. It looks like the U-bolts and such got painted white, too. I'm not sure it'd look good all painted the same color, but darker would probably look better than the all white. You could take off the front bumper to see how it'd look (it's got a 'slotted' panel behind there), too. Just saying, my 2 cents, no offense, that kind of thing, etc.

Thanks,
Kurt

 

12 bolt rear end. I LOVE 2 cents good or bad, it really helps in my decisions on what to do.

 

Okay, 2 more cents. I do not want to rain on your parade. It looks like whoever 'radiused' the rear wheelwells just cut out the typical rust spot. I'd want to fix it by putting a radiused panel in, or stock patch panels (that could be located different from stock if you want).

Thanks,
Kurt

 

I am now trying to figure out if I should paint it or just add to what I all ready have. Any ideas??

 

Are you selling it already? Just saw it on ebay

 

I Take It The Bike Sold?

 

I'm confused? I read that you can't choose between a Falcon and a bike and now read that you bought the Falcon? Then go back to the other post and find you haven't bought it?

 

Well I just found this posting from back in 2008. Been trying to find history on the Falcon I got lastyear. Looks like I own it now.

Hope your still around and see this post. I'd like to keep tracking it back.
By the way, my neighbor fixed the rear wheel wells, looks better now.

Here's the post when I started looking here.
