I will try to describe this car  best as I can.  This is  a very restorable  vehicle.....The  body is in good  conditon...no major  damage or rust.  The only rust through I could see was  two small holes  on the hood, which IMO  could be easily fixed with a MIG ......fenders, doors,  quarters,  tailgate  good  condition......I  didn't  crawl under car  but  there will be some floor work required but I dont think a total replacement.

Overall rust is not a major  issue .. The  rust you see in the photo is 99.9%  surface rust.

All the  glass is in the car  except  the  passenger vent  window and all is in good condition.....Front seat is missing but  I believe a  two door  Falcon  coupe has same  seat...rear seat is there...instrument panel good  condition...

All the trim is on the car,  One trim  piece. on the upper  rear left quarter looks like somebody was  bending it on purpose.....some  dings in other trim but not bad and can be fixed.....  Since it is  stainless a professional could  restore all pieces...one piece would take  considerable work. the other only minor work..

Engine is a  six  banger, with a three on the tree  tranny...believe it or not this  car was  a  good running vehicle when parked about 40 years ago....hood has never been up since then so no water got on the engine...the oil is clean in the engine......I would almost bet that  it would  start with new points, plugs  wires  and carb  rebuild...Remember it has been sitting in  a  fairly dry environment jn Oklahoma...

I was going to haul this back to Florida but when I went to get it  I had with me 14 inch tires  and  discovered that it has 13 inch four lug rims...that is why it is on blocks as I  took three of the wheels off to get tires mounted.......i am almost sure the brake drums will be  difficult to turn since it has been sitting for  a  long time and possible they will require replacement,  I picked up a  57 Dodge  same  day I  bought this and had to cut the brake drums off....Chances are  the drums will have to be replaced anyway on the Falcon....\\

.  Fortunately the  dry Oklahoma  weather didn't  take it's  toll on this  collectible  car and although the surface rust makes it look rough, it really is not.......  Had it been down here in Florida with me it would be  a rust bucket......whew.....It will require a little work to get the brake drums to turn and  load this car on a trailer.  Also the  rear springs will need to be replaced as a couple of the leafs are broken.  This I understand was  a major  problem on  early Falcons  because they are  only 2 inches  wide.  I believe  in 64  they  put the 2.5 inch  mustang type springs on Falcons....a  good move on  Ford's  part......The  car can be  loaded and trailered but those springs will have to be  replaced. I have  found  repo springs for about $100...........

I will deliver  this  car to anywhere in just about the  whole southeast  for  the cost of  $1  a mile from it's current location.  I will not  deliver north of  Oklahoma or west of  Oklahoma......  Draw a line from Oklahoma City to  Tallahassee  FL and I will deliver  anywhere close to that...  otherwise it is LOCAL PICKUP only......Remember it will require  some brake drum work....I have three 13 inch tires  in the car but they need  to be mounted.  Best thing would be to bring four  good  four lug  ford  rims with tires and  a  trailer... Once  again  I will not arrange shipping other  than where I have stated. It would be up to you to go get the car or arrange shipping.   Since it will be hard to load take that into consideration BEFORE you bid.........  The  car is located in Ada, Oklahoma

I do not have  a title  but can  get one  for  an additional  $250  over the  selling price.  It  belonged to my uncle last and the Oklahoma  DMV said it cost  that  much to get a duplicate  title....... It will take  a  couple weeks to do that  after the sale of the car...otherwise you will get a  bill of sale and you can obtain your own title.  Different states have different rules and cost for obtaining a title for non titled  car...again take that into consideration BEFORE you bid....

This is a  rare Falcon..I have not seen another one in  a long time ...This  wagon is five times as rare as a  two door coupe and the least produced of all the Falcon  lines.......two doors  are very desireable ......I  love the looks of the  windows in ths car.............

I can be reached at  850 377 8472 with any  questions or send me an email..  I will accept pay pal for deposit and it is NON REFUNDABLE  due with two days of sale...full price due within a week.....no exceptions..... I am honest you be honest  with me.......

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
