Friends know each others names

[Soft Taco 84]

I'm from Sanford, Florida. I have pictures on my phone but can't figure out how to upload them without a computer. The car has been in my family since the mid 60s. It was my grandfathers car so it really means a lot. I'm really excited about getting to the point where I can drive it regularly.

It might take some expense and aggravation to get everything on your Falcon working correctly, but keep telling yourself: "This is a hobby. This is a hocbby." Once you get everything worked out you will enjoy the heck out of driving your little convertible. You will cause a stir every time you pull into a gas station or a grocery store parking lot. Falcons are wonderful little cars.


I do not want to steal you away from the Rainier Falcons. These are great guys and they have a terrific bulletin board. But given that you live in Sanford .... you may also want to get in touch with the Sun Coast Falcons, a Florida section of the Falcon Club of America.

Hey Soft Taco...welcome to the club! Great to see someone else with their grandfathers car. If you get a chance check out my thread under "show off your ride" called "saving granddad's falcon"
Have fun and looking forward to those pictures when you finally get them off of your phone.

You guys can call me Dub.

I'm actually a Ford bronco aficionado and driver with a love for all things old. On my way to pick up my first falcon which until a week ago, I never planned on owning or had any real interest in. I'll explain it all on my introduction post. Glad to be here and learn something new.

Welcome Dub!

Yea, before I started saving granddad's falcon I probably had 8 or 10 threads on individual tech topics (At least) under the "Tech Talk" category. Of course, if you went through my thread...you probably noticed my favorite two emogies... and

Don't be shy or worry about the clouds, great photography, or even good grammar or spelling for that matter...snap some pics with your phone and get posted and have fun. I remember one time I was having a personal "falcon day" and everyone knew it, and I was doing something under the car, got stuck with it...took a pic on my phone of the problem and made a post (lying under the car.) I went to the bathroom and came back...and someone posted exactly what I needed to do. You won't find that on facebook. People in the club were following my falcon day and checking in. This is a great group.

Don't be shy or worry about the clouds...

Clouds make for some of the best shots of cars. No shadows.

Hey, Mike Rooney from Bristol , VA. My 63.5 Comet Custom has been in the family since new; I drove it some in high school. 260/ 2spd auto. Was kept outside for most of its 79000 miles so needs work. Been in garage since 2001. 302 built for it already, work on car is slow due to medical problems (me, not car...).
Would like to drive it by spring... wish me luck!
