    cool. ive always been a big fan of early falcons. my friend was going to sell me a 65 2dr over the summer but i think that was the the year they changed the body style up and i really dont like those as much

    I'm sure Rick got what he wanted for them (I'm not asking how much), but I'll bet those things would've bought a small fortune on Ebay.

    - They still might, one day.

    Love that interior!
    Ford (and all of Detriot for that matter) knew how to make a real car interior back then!
    Now all they think of is neutral colors like shades of gray, tan, or if you are lucky... maroon.

    I'd love to see a dash in 'poke yer eye out red' on a modern American car.


    I have a center console like that one, but in black, and in falling apart condition. ;)
    I am just keeping it to mock up in a Mav one day to see if it would look good there.
    If so, I will pick up a nice one.

    Have you ever mocked one up in a Mav to check it out?

    The one I have was in my uncle's 69 Fairlane FB for years. It looked cool as heck in that, paired up with some later Torino buckets.

    Rather have that Falcon than a Mav in similar condition. Love that sleeper vibe.
    Cool cars I'm sure someone is happy.

    (great my wife saw it! Thanks! Now I have to keep an eye out for one of those too sheesh)

    Cool...I was watching that car with a friend of mine (he was interested). Never realized it was your brothers. I think he got a fair price for it. Beautiful car! :)

    he had about twice his reserve in it. i think they got a good deal. we had only driven it about 300 miles since it was done.

    I have no doubt about that. It costs a lot of money to build any kind of car nowadays
