    Jen pulled carpet and removed sound Deadner.

    Need to go get my cherry picker / engine hoist and pull the engine.

    There is 50 years of dirt on it. I scraped half an inch of crap off the timing cover just to get to the bolts.

    Need to order a toe board and one front pan.

    That is a very strange looking console ... where are the heads of the carriage bolts that hold on the hinge

    I think it is the wrong one and you should send it to me.

    What do you know about the history of the car? It doesn't look hacked up and a fun project.

    Also has a different radiator cap and master cylinder cap.
    I had that same weird pcv on my wagon. I was told it was the California Smog Version. It kept poppong out so I replaced it with Gary's old draft tube.

    My car was assembled in Sacramento.

    Wagon Detail

    Here is a cool (Australian) advertisement cross section of a 1963 Falcon Wagon. It says that the cargo area in the Squire wagons was carpeted rather than having a rubber mat.

    The history of the car is really unknown to us.

    It is a Denver dso car. Built at the Loraine Ohio plant.

    From what I can tell we are the 4th owners.

    Let's work our way backwards. We bought it Saturday 04/26/2014

    Tony, The guy I bought it from. Purchased it in March 2010 from a Josh outside Delta Colorado.

    This is where the story gets uncertain. Story is josh who I supposed to be younger than me. Remembers seeing the car drive a round town as a kid. One day he finds it for sale and buys it. The car is a non runner at this time and Josh is going to restore it. Like everyone else, life gets in the way and he starts a family and the car gets sold.

    Someone put money into it, I'm not sure why.. it has new tune up parts, cap rotor, points, condenser, but original fomoco wires that has number six wire fried to a crisp.
    New starter and solenoid.

    A carburetor that has never been touched.. it was a ball of dirt, but it works.. I think.

    Not sure when the motor froze. But its been a non runner +4 years.

    The starter that still looks new has a Napa sticker on it dated 2009.

    the odometer says 115k I believe it. It still has biased ply tires on the rear.

    I have no idea if any of the electrics work.

    that's cool. I've never seen carpet in the cargo area.

    I have a blue rubber mat. Its still soft and plyable.

    Under it is the cleanest nicest looking floor pan I've ever seen in a falcon. At least in any of the ones I buy.

    Looks like it should be a fun build.

    I always upgrade to PCV rather than draft tubes, but that looks like a draft tube feed into the top of the carb? Would probably have made for quickly gunked up carbs or air filter.

    Before you buy any parts for it - I'm going to be sort through all the stuff I have this week to prepare bringing it all to the swap meet. Would rather some of it go to club members if they need some of it. I'll inventory it so others can have an opportunity to get something they need.

    You happen to have a good clutch set?

    I know nothing about the transmission. . You still have those 2.77 trannies?

    I could use a console liner and latch catch.

    A correct cigarette lighter.

    Plus many more needs

    Pcv runs to air cleaner.

    May possibly have all that. I bought a supposedly rebuilt 2.77 transmission a couple weeks ago. Have not opened it up yet to see, but I have it for sale cheap. And having swapped to a V8 in the Ranchero I do have a low-low mileage clutch and various other tranny parts cheap as well.

    Make a list and I'll set what I have aside and we'll wheel and deal.

    Roger.

    I sold you a brand new clutch set about three years ago. That is why I did the laughing emoticon

    But I might need those things. I have no idea what condition they are in.

    I also gave you a 2.77 trans from a 61 falcon.

    How much for your transmission and clutch.parts?

    Im not sure there's enough room here to post a list of what I need.


    Oooh a tail light lenses for a 63.... do need one of those

    I got the humor.

    I'm still digging through this stuff, but the clutch disc and pressure plate were just removed. Have a few flywheels too. One I was going to use, but after breaking a bolt on the day of the swap I swapped the flywheel instead.

    I know I ended up with a transmission a few year back, probably for the swap meet since I don't recalling having a personal need for one. Not sure who finally got that one. So many parts have come through my hands. This one I paid for, but it wasn't much in light of the other things I got too.

    I have a tail light lens. Two, actually, but only one that's decent.

    I found a lighter too - does your knobs have the chrome insert?

    No console parts though.

    Chrome insurers? Good question.
    other than taking a picture of the console.
    And a quick look of the interior and saying YUK I have no idea if it has chrome knobs.
    I did notice the black cigarette lighter though. Wonder why a black knob stood out. Hmmm

    Here's a tough part to find that I can use... the spare tire cover..

    Im searching ebay... but no luck.

    I known of a parts car. I need to see if he still has it and wants to part it.

    I'll sit down and make a list one of these nights that I'm not too busy.

    Thanks roger
