Up for sale is our 1963 Ford Falcon Deluxe 4 door wagon. Webought this wagon so we could take our grandchildren cruising with us. We havehad mustangs and they are just too small for four kids and us.
The problem is it took me eight years to restore the wagonand the grandkids are more interested in their own car than grandpa’s now. Wehave three other cars waiting to restore and we need to free up the funds tobegin work on one of them.
We started with astraight six automatic wagon in Ming Green. This is a rotisserie complete nutand bolt restoration now painted Chrome Yellow Metallic over Mango Tango Orange.It is cool how the sun hits the orange and it looks just like the yellow. Theinterior is original with only new factory correct cloth replaced on the frontseat, and a new dash pad. I restored theoriginal steering wheel but forgot I ordered an aftermarket tilt column so itdidn’t fit. Eight years can do that to you.
Now we run a 289 V8with 4BL intake and Edelbrock carburetor. The engine is rebuilt by S&J inSpokane Washington. Behind that is a 4 speed overdrive automatic from MonsterTransmissions in Florida. All new Ron Francis wiring harness.
An eight inch rear end from a 68 mustang donor car with newdrums and brakes that has been narrowed 4 inches with new axles and bearingsfrom Mosier to handle the 15 X 7 Stainless Steel Wheels and radials is in therear. A new drive shaft from Ft. Wayne Clutch is sending the power to her. Alsoinstalled is a rear sway bar. The tilt column connects to a Flaming River powerrack and pinion steering set-up. Coil-over front shocks and springs and Granadafront spindles and power disc brakes handle the front end.
A new aluminum radiator and electric fan cools the 289 and aGen II air conditioning and heat system.
Every bit of rust was replaced with new metal and black bedliner seals the underside and engine bay. I read where the new Shelby Mustangsthat are being built are using the bed liner so I thought “why not me.” New gas tank and lines are there too. Customdual exhaust from Holt Muffler in Marion, IN gets your attention early on. Thewagon was stripped to bare panels and professionally sand and glass blastedwhile on the rotisserie. Mike’s Magic of Marion, IN painted the car after I didthe metal work. All the doors, hood, and tailgate were off the car at paint.All the panels are original too, with a patch panel here or there where needed.Sealed with epoxy primer first. AM-FMstereo with dash dual speaker is brand new too. The break-in oil is still inthe engine as we have only put about three hundred miles on the wagon. We didtrailer it to Dayton, OH in July to the Falcon Club of America regional showand received an “Top Thirty” plaque out of more than ninety falcons there.
Well over thirty-thousand dollars have been invested, notcounting my labor. The only unfinished things are the back-up lights, wired upbut not coming on, the dome light, and for some reason the cancel for the turnsignal is not working.
I have power to thedome light direct but can’t seem to run it through the door switchessuccessfully.
We have a thick photo album with lots of pictures from startto finish to show all the correct work. And we have the build sheet from thefactory.
Under the new carpet is the foil style sound deadeningsheets and the factory tar paper sheets. The door panels are original, they justtook a good cleaning. I have the jackand all that goes with it too. Re-chrome original bumper front and rear andre-chrome original hood scoop and tailgate window crank.
