    After decoding the engine number, I have found out that it is a 1965 Falcon engine.

    Not exactly sure if I should part out the parts car on here. Not much of use. Body has bondo, there are no good body panels, and there's not much of the interior left. Got pretty much everything of use off it except for a taillight, and marker lights.

    What size engine would that be then? I'm thinking that my 65 Falcon might have had a 140 cubic inch engine in it :)

    Ive been hunting blue door panels for awhile, are they still in the car? I also need a package shelf to complete my dash.

    The parts car is the red one, which has black door panels. The center inserts are toast.

    It's still a 200.

    I will need the left quarter window from it because the metal rod is broken on my other one. The other window is broken but the trim is still there.

    No problem I don't need the frame or anything just the chrome trim that's on both of them.

    I actually haven't taken the window I need out of the parts car yet. I'll do it soon.

    Fixed some of the wiring and got rid of the clutch pedal

    Would a floor shift one be different from a column shift? This car was originally a 3 on the tree. I have the column shift transmission as well.

    Actually not sure yet. May eventually want to convert it back for originality. I'll think about it.
