V8 Ford Falcon: POV Drive

[@Ben-Nesler]

make one of those unused switches into a secondary horn switch for a dixie horn or an ahhoooooga horn, make people happier when driving by

[@MovieMaker1040]

That would be perfect haha

[@theLuigiFan0007Productions]

That needs to be done. :D

[@amyzimmerman8]

TrevorG looks scary to drive

[@patrickheide9697]

Or a Wolf whistle? I had a wolf whistle on my 1961 Falcon in high school. Neighbors all got a kick out of it.

[@randybeard6040]

I had a 1963 Falcon Sprint with a Four Speed-260/230hp Bored and Humped that was my Favorite car to drive in all my 70 years.

[@danbolton3180]

Thanks for the ride. I still miss my ‘64 Falcon Station Wagon with the 170 motor stolen by a family member. Family sucks, but memories don’t.

[@MrThegun1911]

You deserve a million+ subscribers man. Your content is so genuine. One of the only channels I look forward to seeing new posts from. I really appreciate that this channel exists, and I can't imagine anyone else doing as good a job as you. Thank you, Mr. Regular.

[@Tool0GT92]

I like his channel too, but hes very pretentious and can be very strange which puts people off.

[@MrThegun1911]

He's explained before that this is his platform where he can be himself and people enjoy it, he knows he can make you feel uncomfortable. There's a video where he talks about it. Look up: Getting to Know Regular Car Reviews, I think that's the title of the video, I'm not 100% sure. But you learn a lot about him in that video.

[@MrThegun1911]

I can understand as well, since I have a sense of humor that only I find funny.

wing windows, something that should of never gone away

[@Luke-bz1ni]

"Smoker windows! I remember these!"

[@SuperFrodo95]

You flip the back edge to the front so it scoops the air into your face. Better than any aircon fan.

[@zloychechen5150]

if you're not sitting in a traffic jam in the sun when it's +35C.

[@TDF-kt9tl]

what ever happened to them

[@Sleepy.Time.]

i am guessing that the space on the doors where the wing windows mounted was that way due to the manual roll up windows and once power windows because standard they no longer had part of the door being used by the window crank device so they just made more window

[@ClintMaas]

I don't comment much on your channel but congrats. It's a great little car and everybody can tell how excited you are to have it.

[@TDF-kt9tl]

have a poop 🚬

[@MrDrury27]

"little"

[@falagarius]

This satisfies me so much.

[@theodociocozanitis5437]

My dad bought his 1962 falcon in 1967 paid $500 , reconditioned the engine and I leaned to drive in green car it handles very good and went well we never worried about the fuel as it was cheap back then , I still remember the air filter holder had sticker made in Canada. We live in Sydney Australia

[@Krimpzz]

Mine was bought in Tuscaloosa Alabama,moved to an old city (won’t say) but it’s currently inside a garage and we are restoring it,selling a mustang Mach 1 with a 350 and a Ford Galaxy Country sedan with a 352

[@samuelchalekian4966]

It's amazing to watch you build out a car and fling it around country roads. So excited that the Vagabond Falcon is "done" and you've fulfilled a life long dream. Never change RCR, never change.

[@F3ST3Rfilms]

Still mind blowing to see you grow from that little Toyota echo, all the way to the Vagabond Falcon, and being, in my opinion, one of the most poetic, yet hilarious car reviewers I've ever had the pleasure of watching. keep up the good work, and I wish you well on your future, and the future of your channel!

[@noahsabbagh2333]

You don't know how long I've been waiting for this.

"Can't hear the engine at all" *WIND NOISE LOUD AS FUCK*

[@enjoyablehiccups]

He IS right, he's saying wind noise is annoying, but you really can't hear the engine

[@MuscleCarLover]

I just love modernised builds like this

[@Daniel_V_]

I love how the front seat is essentially one big piece. So cool

[@mangoshake]

Ending my birthday with this video is worth everything. I have been following the vid from the start and seeing it run so smoothly is so satisfying. Thanks, Mr. Regular.

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen9802]

There are a lot of nice roads in PA, I'm jealous in the midwest it's nothing but straight roads arranged in grids.

[@philclarke7712]

I live in the north of England. What's a straight road?

[@bandombeviews6035]

Nice? Nice? NICE? FUCKING NICE? YOUR ROADS ARENT FILLED WITH POTHOLES!

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen9802]

[@JerryKosloski]

Wisconsin has some decent backroads. You just have to go up north to find them.

[@bandombeviews6035]

Bender Rodriquez Yeah. BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS BROKEN!

[@man_on_wheelz]

Alright, it's official, time you feature this car on Jay Lenos Garage... like seriously!

[@lucywucyyy]

hel ya

[@Saltines4All]

I could see Jay going for this. He's got such a unique personality and the "regular" theme is not something a lot of people think about

[@Khethatipet]

Living the dream, m8. Congratulations on finishing VF (for now).

[@bunkaaa8726]

That Megashifter got more triggering then a 2016 college campus.

[@bigstupidgrin]

got 'em!

[@chefgiovanni]

LOL ! Strange review. That shifter would scare off buyers 99% for sure.

[@liamwolf3417]

Bunka Fas I like your car and very own school.

[@jesses1589]

I need a good old dirty toilet mounted POV review soon Mr. Regular.

[@TDF-kt9tl]

no

[@Rex_Stuph]

When you sat in it, I could smell that particular smell these cars had :( Used to be so many around here, now there are none.

[@whette_fahrtz]

An immensely cool goddamn car. Great job.

[@Conlan0215]

"I didn't want this... whole muscle car look to it." B&M MEGASHIFTER DISAGREES

[@alexantilla3926]

Andrew Humphrey that’s not how drag racing works my man. As modern autos have gotten better, they’ve become better for drag racing so you get better launches with a trans brake and more consistent passes. But most drag racers still want control over when the trans shifts. So ratchet-style shifters like the Megashifter came along to allow you to just bump the lever and have it shift without having to take your attention away from keeping the car going straight down the track. It’s there purely so you can make faster, more consistent passes without having to worry about blowing your motor up if it slips into neutral with your foot buried. Now we can argue back and forth all day on how “manly” or “muscular” it is to have a Megashifter but the bottom line is if you look in almost an modern, purpose-built drag car, you’ll find an auto with a ratchet shifter on it.

[@andrew3606]

@Andrew Humphrey Maybe in 1986 lol, most modern funny cars don't use manual shifter levers

[@yitznewton]

Been waiting for this. Congratulations man

[@myjizzureye]

You can get rid of most of that wind noise fairly easy. You just need to make sure the rear edge of each panel is 1 to 2 mm sticking out from the next one behind it. Makes a HUGE difference.

[@hertzer2000]

That's one beautiful Falcon. Well done.

[@ComblessMan]

Thank you for the vicarious thrill. Just a treasure.

[@tommysports2001]

All kidding aside, I really like the interior. Very simple and clean.

[@markm0000]

I'm so happy you got your dream car and it's finally a reality. I've got a few minor notes to share. I would have stuck a unsuspecting black column shifter on it since it could be located anywhere. The still-terrible steering ratio can be fixed by a few more hours into the gears on the rack. 3rd gear kick down issue needs to be addressed, having to do something extra just to overtake might get you in a bind. Otherwise, I would drive this car until I grew of old age and tired of fixing it.

[@ChicagoTechGuy]

My grandpa had this car in his garage when he passed away. My older cousin got it, nice car

[@reygar]

Excellent!! I love that it is quiet. A true sleeper.

[@LS1OfAKind32]

The steering slop would drive me insane aha

[@farfr0msane]

Great car, the only change I would make is seat belts.

[@philclarke7712]

yeah, wouldn't fancy putting my face in that dash.

[@101Volts]

Lap and shoulder + different glass (if not already changed) and a collapsible steering column (if not already installed.) They're gonna need the lap and shoulder belts in any collision, that darn steel dashboard... Yugh. I know how it feels to bump into steel by just _walking_ into it (Antique sled, overhanging near where I was walking) so a dashboard is like jumping out a two-story window or worse, right onto asphalt.

[@bandombeviews6035]

My dad had a friend who restored a classic car (I'm not sure what). He crashed it, and was VERY seriously injured purley because he didn't put in auto glass.

[@samthemultimediaman]

You could get some traction masters for the rear it would get rid of any wheel hop. adjusting or replacing the weather stripping should take care of your air noises there are also some sprays you can use to help revitalize your weather stripping if it isn't that bad of shape.

[@Agrippa99]

MY FORD IS BEST FORD CAUSE 302 V8 ARGGGGHHH

[@crashbox7130]

As a Brit, it's nice to see some beautiful Pennsylvania countryside. Reminds me of rural France in places. And the roads look to be just as quiet. Not what I expected. Shame you had to lose the column gearshift. Really liking the channel.

[@gregwavra341]

Nice to see it running, it's a great looking car and hopefully you come back to the PNW because I want to see it in person.

[@michaeljcoulter]

Congratulations! It seems to drive perfectly, you all must be very proud. Now if only you could ship it over to the UK for a meet!

[@SforSytosis]

So awesome that you were able to make this dream come true, happy for you it's an awesome car, keep the great videos coming!

[@GetsugaTensho85]

Ah! The good ol sound of a happy well built well kept V8! It's things like these!

[@hornetbrown]

Thinking man's car...dangerous but adequate. Love it!

[@megatronn194]

I live in North Carolina, and I swear it would be worth the trip to take my cars to Bruce Henn. This might as well be an advertisement for Bruce Henn's Garage because he put together a solid Ford Falcon here.

[@kennethj1956]

So FANCY!

[@sambassmanstoner]

I'm glad to see how happy you are with it. I also have to give you kudos for putting in the hours and not just sending it to Bruce to build for you.

[@haiiyouu]

not a fan of the rims but a really nice build, really

[@Dreadnoughty]

Beautiful car and nice sound of the shifter.

[@jasonsidito551]

I lov these vids I’ve always wanted to drive. I’m 10 and these vids are awesome please do more of these

[@southernpacific-vp8ho]

Jason Sidito i live in the country and ive been driving since i was 8 years old

[@jasonsidito551]

Wow that’s amazing

[@southernpacific-vp8ho]

Jason Sidito yep and thx

[@tazswagg]

damn that car is a beauty behind the wheel I see why you love it

[@conservativemike3768]

Cold weather start? I used to pop the hood on my ancient Toyota, remove the air cleaner cover and stick a hair dryer in the carb for 5 minutes. Worked great.

[@Krimpzz]

I’ve got the original 144CId in mine it’s all stock. We are currently restoring it at the moment and it has tags and purchases of where it has different things restored. It’s honestly really cool of a car and in perfect condition

[@tehw000000t]

Seeing you cross your hands over while steering raises my blood pressure.

[@waytostoned]

Beautiful car

[@lucywucyyy]

that shifter is weird, i thought it was some kind of sequencial gearbox at first, but its like some weird cross between a manual and an automatic, im from england so ive only ever seen regular manual transmissions.

[@jetstream454]

Sequential shift auto, usually used for dragging

[@FleetCaptainTalmid]

Love the 302 sound!

[@TheKRVR]

I'm glad you are happy with the Falcon! I really hope to see a review of Bruce Henn's Viper sometime soon!

[@poppop-oj6by]

So it is a weird kind of automatic? Why no stickshift?

[@digitalrailroader]

It's a standard Ford AOD 4 speed Automatic transmission, mr Regular installed a B&M Megashifter (which is really designed to be used in a drag racing configuration, hence the ratcheting mechanism) because he had to modify the steering column since the TCI K member moved the steering rack from the stock falcon location. When he modified the column, it pretty much ruined the column shifter mechanism.

[@poppop-oj6by]

Ah I understand. Tnx mate

[@Tool0GT92]

I think he wants it as a relaxing cruiser

[@allandrake4426]

You have the option of running a transbrake

[@Che1seabluesdrogba11]

since you've done the 4th gen Max, you need to find an IS300, preferably a manual transmission one. Good luck Mr R

[@danielfrick9387]

the best part of having a car like that is being able to hear the engine

[@realcomputerdude100]

Oh man, thank you for making this. I just got a two-door Falcon with a very similar setup (302, AOD - I think. Shifts very similar.) Except mine doesn't have a button, you have to pull up on the shifter to reach park, reverse, and neutral. Was driving me crazy!!

[@billythekidperez7343]

Really cool car, I'd like to do something similar someday

[@guikirsch9758]

I can feel the adrenaline from those first twisty parts.

[@dwavy2627]

Awesome car might get me 1 of those 💨 love the engine Sound.

[@christianboyd4635]

Nice job on the build, very nice looking little Falcon. Altho, this car is not "what the kids liiiike".

[@realmaindrianpace]

I think you'll really like the 3:55 gears, that's what i have in my '65 Falcon Ranchero with an EFI 5.0 and an AOD. It's the perfect gear set for that combo, and 27MPG freeway.

[@Hereford98]

Really awesome car ! Was wondering why I was seeing a green light in the lower center of the instrument panel ?

[@Palacios29]

Wow can't wait to drive my 61 ranchero, or falcon same thing, beautifull falcon

[@maximumcalories9225]

Mr. Regular, please get a seat belt. It's very dangerous.

[@derekking6857]

Early in the video, you were talking about how you could bring the gearing in the rear down to 3.08. While true, technically you could go lower, although I don't see why you would. If I remember correctly, Vagabond has an 8.8 rear out of an Explorer? If for whatever reason you wanted to go lower, the Panther cars used an 8.8 that was available with 2.73 so there is that possibility. I'm sure there's an aftermarket support for something even lower. Why you'd bother though, I'm not sure.

[@F3ST3Rfilms]

oh Mr.Regular and your 3 am (Central) uploads!

[@SuperKONR]

Why would you put a megashifter in it when you don't have a full manual valve body? Seems like a pointless hassle on a stock trans if you ask me. Nice work on the car, she runs well!

[@paulhermsen3405]

i had a 62 that had a 170 with three on the tree, but we took that out and put a 351 and a 4 speed and a three core rad. it was wickedly fast

[@PunchyAirplane]

Oh boy! Can't wait until he talks about the megashifter again

[@Andresito1]

Hello dear friend, here in Argentina we are fans of this car, we have almost half a million cars sold, I know how to speak a little English, haha, I would love to translate this video and show it to my followers, I am sure that many people will follow your channel too, thank you very much!

[@OldManFrank]

I had a B&M Megashifter in my 1976 Chevrolet Camaro but, I snapped the ratchet action part so then I moved on to the B&M Sport Shifter.

[@Maverick_Van_Traveller]

That's a handsome cockpit

[@jlr194]

very nice car bro, it's a one of a kind.

[@kirbyswarp]

It drives Just like my 1996 Mustang, which was the first year for the 4R70W transmisssion, which was esensially an updated AOD. The Motor even sounds the same.

[@toba04]

Pero mira esa falcon papa

[@aaronkoch3273]

The low frequency flutter that you hear around 11:09 leads me to believe there may be a slight imbalance in either the flexplate or the driveshaft. I think it's the flexplate, as you hear it change with engine rpm later in the video. Do you feel any vibrations in the wheel that are engine speed? especially over 2k rpm? If so, balance the motor before you chew through the bearings.

[@guillermovidal3455]

Nice build! Mufflers? She's really quiet cruisin'. Thanks for share

[@StingrayOfficial]

Nice job and thank you!

[@stepsofloud5640]

ever think about going on the hot rod power tour with it?

[@BFWRT]

You could use hidden light(s) (e.g. under the dash) to indicate when the revs are getting too high. ...As an alternative to a tachometer. Unseen until necessary.

[@weaksignal8009]

mr regular needs a panhard bar to locate the rear end consistently in turns. unless you can get a sponsor for a four link conversion? next year eh'

[@oreokookie1000]

Nice idea, fox body...how did you graft it in?? Sounds like a heck of alot of welding. Or did you just use fox parts, like motor tranny leafs? I'm assuming you used the fox body floor and sub- stubs when you say "fox -body"

[@wingp.7127]

How is the Falcon today? Did you add or change anything?

[@edgartaylor7421]

You should install a Gear Vendors overdrive in the Flacon

[@captainexcabier]

You don't have those little kick-panel vents in that car? Thought those were pretty standard back in the day.

[@Travis_Inlanzer]

You had the opportunity to paint the car brown and call it The Vagabrown Falcon

[@minimanadam]

327 gearing imo works great for the 5.0 and 4.6 in stock form..good mileage and still holds It enough in the powerband

[@LOLHICRONO]

3:10 that satisfying noise makes me want to use one

[@nomadben]

But where's the BROWN?

[@TDF-kt9tl]

hot brown cold white

[@LB-ez1vn]

Turned out nice. I believe the fox bodies had 2.73 or 3.08 for the t5 then 2.73 or 3.27 for the aod. With a t5 and 2.73 80 mph is about 2k rpm.

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

My ‘62 Falcon Ranchero has an 89 5.0 with factory EFI. Were you overwhelmed with the thought of wiring? 😂

[@jakelamotta2387]

What size of engine is in these stock??

[@101Volts]

I wonder if some detailing would make the car finish look more like the wheels? I realize this car's from the pre-clear coat era though. Still, by clay barring my 1984 Chevy I've been getting subtle layers of oxidation out of the clear coat so maybe claying this car would work? I don't know about claying pre-clear coat era cars though.

[@200nick2]

Watching you drive this reminds me of how my Crown Victoria drives. And almost the exact same setup except on the Panther platform. A lot of steering input, REALLY drawn out transmission.

[@wobblysauce]

You can add a engine limiter with no tacho, so it does not over rev.
