Thread: 64-65 Parts Car

    Forensic Falconologist I'm not. There's not really enough grill there to say for sure. You really got to see the nose of the grill - and the nose is missing. Hints around the headlight doors seem to indicate 65 (they look to be going outward in the center) - but with all the distortion from the wreckage and only 2 shots to go from - and because there was the post from last week saying it was a 64, I wanted to be 'for-sure'. From Steve's last post, it appears to be a 65 for-sure.

    Steve - not sure what your schedule is for this, but I'm in headless chicken mode trying to get a release of this software I'm working on out as a release candidate this week - next week worst case. So if I can get that done, maybe I can trek out there in the next week or so and help pull a few things off. If it's got to get gone before I can make it out there, try and pull the wiring harness out from under the dash without cutting wires. I need to get the connectors for the turn signal assembly all in one piece.

    Did it have a single-speed or two-speed wiper system? Probably single, but those parts are getting hard to find these days.

    No hurry on this one. I am focusing on the delivery again. Maybe play with the turd on occasion. But I am itching to get the delivery off to paint!!!!
    I will do some more digging and see what all it has and maybe a few more pics...

    OK good. I'll still try to make a run over there sooner, rather than later. I don't want you spending any time fishing out parts just for me.

    I'm getting close to putting stuff on mine too now. Spent all day Saturday on my back brushing and spraying bed-liner under the car, which is what I finally chose to undercoat the thing with. Came out fantastic. Engine compartment and core support are painted now too. Red is going on the dash and other interior parts today (knock on wood and I get off work on time.)



    Oh, and I found those tail lights when I re-sorted all the parts bins yesterday into some semblance of order (of course I put them all the way on the bottom of one of them) - so if you still need them, let me know.

    Pictures, pictures.... Glad progress is still being made.
    I don't think the 62 taillights will fit anymore. I opened up the holes and mounted the 63's I had.
    I will check on the wipers, and didn't you do something with a 65 fresh air box and put it in something else?? I need a good box for the barn car, it's door is broken off...

    If you are not selling the motor complete, I'd have a go at the carb... mine is leaking from the throttle shaft (may explain the rough idle) and I just need one to get me though the summer.

    This fall I put in the new 200ci with the weber 32/36 two barrel.

    Doghouse parts?

    Powder coated parts, local business, sedan delivery, saw zall.
    Sounds like a winner to me!
    Bill Proctor .. 1963 Falcon Sprint. Looking forward to learning new things.

    I will see what I can do Jeff. It looks to be a decent carb, not too much rust and crud on it. I will pull it off and bring or send it with the next trip made across...

    Thanks in advance. You can send with Brian when he brings his ... um doghouse for powder at Doghouse.

    We know it was running decent enough for the guy to plow into a telephone pole.

    You can have the carb back in a few months.... may even be rebuilt by then.

    I would not need it back. Did you try the one off Rogers Ranchero yet?? I bought that one brand new a few months before I sold them to him?? Might help narrow it down. I paid $150 for that carb from the local parts house here in Sequim...

    That's right, Roger offered to lend me for testing. I'll PM him to see when we can hook up for an exchange.

    Yes - for a test - you are welcome. I my need it back sooner rather than later, so Steve, send that one over for Jeff to use until he does his engine swap (I assume it needs replacing anyway Jeff - if the shaft is worn to the point of dripping gas).

    And I appreciate that. Really I do. It looks very nice.

    (Humm... I better engrave it... That Jeff, he's a shady character.

    Tonight on Judge Judy, meet the two club members who are battling over the ownership of a rare car part. One says the other gave it to him; the other said it was just a loaner. You decide.)

    If you are worried, you can come over Sunday and help me install it... tool around the block a few times and take it back home. Kenny will be over installing my door gaskets... he has "The Touch".

    OOOps did I open up a can of worms??? I will get that one pulled tonight or tomorrow. Then it will be ready for transport.

  15. #30
    Naw - I'm not worried now that I know Kenny will be there.

    I'll see what I can do Jeff, but if I can't make it south, just call me and I'll see what we can coordinate.

    So Steve... how is it that Craigslist gets more pictures that we get? Hum? Humm?

    Can't really make out much in the engine picture there, but I would like to get the alternator brackets for sure, wiring (instrument cluster to steering column to truck). If it had backup lights in the buckets - those would be good to have too. That air cleaner housing is odd looking. Is that something late model?

    You should pull the fresh air vent from the drivers side and put that into your sedan delivery.
