New guy from South Florida

Welcome. Nice wagon. I spent most of my first 37 years in the Pompano Beach area.

 

hey right down the road with a 9 2 door .mines got a 5.0 /t5 combo still got a bunch of parts

 

Hello Movinman, sounds like your getting them all worked up...




and we can clearly see why!

Hope you enjoy the forums.

 

I like the 59 too. Did you say 63 Falcon? Is it a convertible? a hardtop? Ranchero? Squire? Futura? Sprint? We need to know. Or just a few pics will do.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome, folks! I feel like a member of the family already! A little more info on my rides.... the Falcon was purchased for my fiance. The car is the basic Falcon two door post model that still retains the stock 170 cubic inch inline six backed by the Fordomatic two speed automatic trans. It's a typical South Florida car, meaning it needs floors, toe boards, and lower quarters. Plans call for a 302/AOD combo, along with an 8 inch rear. It's running and driving (barely) and should see every day road use by mid summer. The 49 Merc is another project that is coming along. The car sat in a garage in Lodi, NJ for over 30 years before a buddy of mine got wind of it, and spilled the beans to me. The car was chopped in the 60's in North Platte, Nebraska, and I had the pleasure of speaking with the gentleman who owned it at the time. Long story short, it is a long term project sitting in my garage now. Not sure what pictures I have, but I will look for them tonight

 

Falcon sounds like a fun little car too. Still want to see pics.
I like the yellow and white two tone on your 59, like this one. Looks just like yours. Is that your trailer too? These pics are from Old Cars Weekly website.

 

Mine has a bit of a way to go before it looks as nice as that one.

 

doesnt matter...any old Ford wagon is as cool as you need to be

and good choice in freinds too
