Parked in the Woods 38 Years Ago! Can we get this Falcon Wagon Moving Again!

[@Daermos]

Love the old wagons! They have so much character, unlike all the plastic we have now.

[@BudgetBuildz]

I agree! 😁

[@clevelandmaker386]

@@BudgetBuildz you should call her praline....cuz ...she was full of nuts and of course...as usual.... you have to say it.... DEEZ NUTS!!!!!! HA..... GOT EM!!!

[@SHO1989]

I totally agree. I really like that old falcon wagon. I'd fix and arrest the rust holes and patch up the floor and then clear coat the paint and patina. The perfect anti SUV.

[@hairycat6095]

oh yeah, steel dash , no seat belts. back in the day i had a 64 falcon and 2 - 63 comets, i really wish i had them now. i paid $35 for the falcon$75 for one comet $50 for the other . gas was about 25 cents a gallon and i made $1.25 an hour at the golden arches. those were the days.

[@alan6832]

@@BudgetBuildz I like aluminum radiators though on RWD cars because their light weight helps traction and rwd cars need every bit of traction they can get. Rear battery helps too, but if there is no place in the wagon, then try combining a very small battery with a supercapacitor. Just being a wagon helps traction too, which is part of the reason I prefer wagons.

[@gregdrmax]

Father and son. I hope you both know how blessed you are to have each other ❤

[@richardcline1337]

That's the first time that Falcon has seen any kind of love in over 38 years. That model series of the Falcon has always been my favorite.

[@coalheatefm1157]

They came from the factory with a double action fuel pump that had a vacuum booster for the wipers. The vacuum line you pointed out connects to the vacuum booster. The pump you installed with the filter on top was used on 1963 and later models. Thanks for saving that wagon, it has a lot of potential!

[@pete79602]

My amc had a fuel pump like that too

Another classic saved from the crusher, well done!

[@danadribnenki8774]

Got to tell my 19 yo son that when I was growing up we had one of these my middle sister drove to school and she painted the car navy blue, the roof white and the wheels red, with a paintbrush! In was one 1976 so she called it the spirit of ‘76 as well as painted that name in red underneath the drivers side windshield wiper! Those were some awesome times in my life! My older sister had the little sedan of the same year, 61 ish and I’ve still got a warbuncle on my forehead where I flew into the metal dash as my teenage sister went roaring across one of our southern Montana cow pastures and hit a washout! Wow, those were the days. That little car was the same green color of your wheels.😂

[@bobcooke6346]

Nice job Michael and dad, I was just thinking, a nice little feature would be a perspex panel in the footwell, and keep the view of the road passing by beneath your feet 👍🤔😆

[@robertlacob8831]

I had a 1961 Falcon Coupe with buckets and a console when I left Hawaii in 77. Shipped to Ga and drove until selling to another GI. Had a 144 engine with 3-speed on the tree. Changed valve cover with later model and installed PCV system to help breathe and run cleaner.

[@donaldcecil9598]

I think the old wagon is a keeper. The patina is great

[@donaldcecil9598]

My wife and I dated in a rusty 2-door 62 falcon. The wipers didn't work until you hit the gas.Awesome.

[@TheIronDuke502]

Seeing the old Falcons takes me back so many years. Earlier this evening, I was on Facebook and discovered that there’s a group devoted to the Firebird that was used on the Rockford Files. I noticed your Firebird as you were driving your Falcon around and was reminded of seeing the group on Facebook this evening.

[@brianandrews7099]

I’d just have to do the bodywork, strip off the rust, and paint it. Personally, I don’t even mind a little fiberglass and bondo body repair to bring something like this back to shine ‘on the cheap’. Others may object to it but I understand that not all cars are worth professional, show car level restorations; rather trying to make something look the best you can with the focus being on the grunt work, not the money and looking good while driving the fun out of it!

[@medfordJimmy]

I would drive that the rest of my life. New engine, trans and understuff. Keep the patina and fix the floor. I got excited when you got it running again. Love that old stuff.

[@donsmith8614]

Growing up a Ford guy, i love that wagon, brakes muffler & tape up the headliner & you'd have a decent grocery getter. Love the that crazy rabbit & the gmc motor home.

A very Good Morning to You and your Father. This project has been a really Good watch of yours and your Fathers Incredible Restoration Skill, Ability, Care, Mechanical Knowledge. What a very Gorgeous American Classic this vehicle is. She really does Deserve a Full Restoration, the works done to this Beautiful and Full of History of who ever originally owned her many years ago. This is a rare Falcon Wagon. Strip her down completely, check all of the metal sub frame, and just begin again and replace any rusted through metal work. Like you did on your Beautiful Porsche that i remember following you and your Father Episode by Episode. Loved every single stage that You both created that Gorgeous and very Stunning Porsche 911 Classic Sports car. You both should do the same project with this Beautiful, Rare American Classic Falcon Wagon. Make this one, Your Best Restoration my Friend.

[@frankroper3274]

Ya'll did a good job with that one! My mother had a white falcon when I was a kid. I remember I liked it! In those days you pulled up in a station and you ran over a tube that would cause a bell to go off and an attendant would come out and ask how much and can I check the oil? You had to watch them if they said you were a qt low they would only put a little bit in...in those days the funnel punctured the can...no twist off like today! Better days but we didn't know it at the time!

My dad proudly turned up in the Squire version of this same model [1962] when I was twelve. It was the first station wagon we had owned. Prior to this time, he had always had 'utes' - pick ups for you Americans - and we kids just loved the security of loafing and sleeping in the cargo bay, rather than under the tarmac of the open tray back ! Thank for your entertaining and professional work

I live in Georgia and as I can best recall my Dad had one of these and the color was a very light green. This would have been in the late 60's or early 70's when he had his. On another note I'd like to say that you all have good taste in music. Silent Partner is a good band. They have a couple of other songs that I like quite a bit and that would be "Swamp Stomp" and "Accidents Will Happen". One final item is I remembered this car is equipped with a generator. Whenever the generator or voltage regulator is replaced the generator MUST BE POLARIZED or there is risk of damage to the electrical system.
