The dailyturismo really loves wagons. Its like a pickup truck for people with normal sized glands. What is better than a standard run-of-the-mill 4 door wagon is a 2 door wagon. This
1965 Ford Falcon 2door wagon can be found in Ranch Cucamonga, CA via craigslist at an asking price of $5500.
The Ford Faclon shares a 'platform' with Mustangs & Cougars but is the only one to have a wagon variety (unless you own a really nice welder and have fantastic
fabrication skills). Falcons came in 2/4 door wagon varieties - but the cool one to get is definitely the 2 door.
This one currently has an original inline 6 engine with 170 cubic inches of displacement pushing out 101
gross horsepower. It could also have a smaller 144 cubic inch inline 6 'thriftpower' making 85 horsepower. Either way, the 'new' front springs need to be properly compressed with the addition of a 302 cubic inch V8 - conveniently included with the sale! I bet new engine and trans could be loaded into the back and a buyer could take everything home easily.
California black plates indicate that the car has been in California for its entire life or the owner purchased a set via the DMV
YOM program.
This car is just an engine swap and a paint job away from being a good dailyturismo...but is $5500 too much to ask for a project?
