This was my Ford Falcon. I had to let it go, to someone who could bring her back to life. Those were the good old days when cars had style. Thanks for looking. Rip

Beautiful car. I've owned a 1962, a 1963 wagon and I now own a 1962 Ranchero that I bought in 1979. Too bad you had to let it go. I let my Ranchero get away once but got it back a couple years later from a friend I sold it to. I won't do that again. I'm keeping it forever!
Thanks
The man I sold her to has the money to do to her what I couldn't. So she is in better hands now. Rip
That's great. A 64 2 door Falcon was my first road car. Straight six 3 speed. I had a lot of fun in that car. I hate to think of all the cars I had (68 Impala SS convertible, 66 GTO with 3 2 barrels, 69 Grand Prix 400 ci, 79 Firebird). I won't evengo into my fathers stuff. Live and learn I guess...
