Quick update. Still waiting for the delivery but got a call last night and was told it is a 64 2 door Futura. 6 cyl. auto I think? Now just need to see if it is a hard top or sedan... Lets cross our fingers for a hardtop!!!
No pics yet but the car is a loss. Wrecked very bad in the front.. Has a 200 6 in it and an auto. I got spare fenders, hood , and doors. The steering wheel broke off from the impact, sooo we are parting her out. Start your lists and lets get this one out of my dive way next.
Ok here is the smashed up parts car. Roger the wiring is all yours. The front is a goner but the back half of the car is good for parts. Plus I got all the extra sheet metal for the front. Uni body is buckled so no sense in trying to repair it.
Let me know you needs and we will use what we can.
Ah man - you could fix that! Piece of cake. Compare to a certain Ranchero - that's in pretty good shape.
Really though, they gave everything you need - right? Core support might be too fun and if the fender aprons are too smashed, it may not be worth it.
Sadly - it's a 64 - and the dash wiring still uses the early wiring styles with the generator and fuses on the headlight switch. I'll still take it for connector ends, but not much more I can use. Maybe the door mirror? It looks like the one I got off the Ranchero, which I like the style of.
The 64 front-end parts are a one-year deal, as is probably the steering box, so if they are good, they would be worth gingerly removing for resale. The trim looks decent too. And though they are not really hard to find - is that another grill on the truck lid? Should be able to make back some of your investment in powder on that deal.
Look like a lot of fun in your future... or your saws-all's future.
Are you sure it is a 64?? I thought the registration said 65?? I am not sure. I will look at the paperwork again.
But anyway the unibody frame in the front is buckled on both sides. The fenders are not so bad. The interior is crap I should get a picture of it. Would make you want to wear your seat belt. The dash is pushed in from some ones knees on both sides of the steering wheel. The steering wheel outer ring is broken off so just the center is left. This one hurt some one.
Amazingly the drivers door still opens, passenger door is another story. It was a Futura model so I will try to save the trim, and maybe the back glass and door glass, regs so forth??? I will just add them to the pile and wait till some one needs stuff...
I'm not sure it is a 64 (not enough grill left to tell), but what is the VIN number? Shoot a picture of the drag-link - that's a sure sign of what it is or is not.
Whatever you do - pick it clean. I see a side business... Doghows Falcon Parts.
