    The only usable pieces would probably be the drivetrain. Let me know if you get it, I could use some interior pieces for my 64 sedan...like the seats.

    1964 was the first year of the "square body" Falcon, although the 63 had the same roofline as the 64/65 sedan. The suspension is the same from 63 to 65, which is the same as the 64 to 66 Mustang, then Ford started using the Fairlane chassis under the Falcon until 69.
