**stupid me never should've sold the Falcon!**
What year Falcon did you have? I was looking for a Falcon before I got the Duc. I don't have the garage space for one now.

1962 2-door coupe. Former 144cid/3-speed car. Transplanted a '92 F150 5.0 engine into it with a T5 tranny and a 3.00:1 geared 8" axle. Converted the front end to discs, car had 14" Magnum 500's on it. Re-painted Wimbeldon White (originally Red), Black interior, California Black-plate car. MANUAL EVERYTHING (just how I like it! ;D ). 25mpg on the high-way if you were easy on it! Yeah-baby... 8)
Was going through a separation, so I sold it to 'Mr. Incredible' here on the DMF. He enjoys it now.
Wow - that sounds awesome. I was trying to find a falcon that needed SOME work, but not more than I could handle. I ended up finding a dodge dart in my price range/ability level, but then the motorcycle filled the void.
First car was a 64? falcon. Stupid me @16 and never put oil in her, too busy with driven fun. Threw a rod a that was that. :'(
Elanor there is pretty sweet. I used to know someone with a GT500. Not sure if he still has it; he restored Mustangs as a hobby, and that was his personal toy.

Don't you mean an old car project?!? ;) And yes, I agree....except that I have no where to build it and no $$$ with which to build it. Although, I do know where 2 old Rambler coupes and a '35 Ford p/u are! [evil] I could see the p/u as a driver w/an SBF in it and an AOD.
The Rambler?!? GASSER-MADNESS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HA!
Pretty sure most of those pics were taken in Lake Park, MN... about 35 miles from me. I drive thru there when i go to visit my parents. In the summer there is an old restaurant there that has the parking lot full of classics all the time.
As long as we are lookin' at awesome old metal.......an old friend of mine runs this site.

Lots of really interesting stuff. Even a few Ducs.
Somewhere on there is my old '69 Camaro big-block car... but too many pics to go searching for it.

Fixed.
You kiddin'?!?
You drive that car like you need a handicap permit hangin' from the rear-view! [laugh]
Have you ever got the leaf-springs to do the wheel-hop shifting into 3rd yet?!? [evil]
While I love the old hot rods and classics, this polished aluminum GT500 looks great:

It hasn't moved much since that redwood branch fell on it.
It gets a bit straightened out once the garage is all set. Assuming I ever get a day off.
A redwood branch fell on it?!?!?!? Send me some pics!

I don't own a camera.
It's fine-old fords are tough.
I suspect the sheet metal is all extra thick, which is why they can't keep up with a mopar ;D
