My very first wagon was a '60 Falcon. Same body style....
Mine had a manual (crank) rear window, 3 on the tree, not quite as nice as this one.
Sure it isn't show quality, but it's nice enough and the price is pretty good.
I'd hit it if I lived in SoCal.

 

For $3,500, that's pretty darn good!

 

Looks to be in very nice shape. The ad says 575000 miles. I'm sure that's wrong.

 

I would do what i did with my '65. Swap in a 5.0 FI pushord motor and an AOD and ride!!

 

I like that one. Would probably leave it as is.

Falcon

Is it me or is this a steal?

 

Over all, a real beauty, but I would want to take a look at that back end, both body work and undercarriage. I have a funny feeling that it was hit, and fairly hard, in the back. For sure, the back bumper is bent, and possibly to the point where the tailgate does not open correctly. The gate itself looks off, as if it was badly straightened and then given a bit too much bondo. I also have to wonder at the new interior, and the dash top not looking as crisp and clean as the rest of the job.

 

Mike - I learned to drive in my folk's '63 Falcon, and I can tell you from experience the rear bumpers are very easily bent. Only 4 small bolts hold it on. On this one, I wouldn't assume the back has been hit hard because the bumper's wonky (although you should certainly look it over carefully).
