10k: Ready To Rumble: 1965 Ford Falcon
We’ve heaped praises at the mid 1960’s Ford Falcon before, so we don’t need to continue the praise, other than to say you can get a Mustang level of usability and performance at Beetle prices. Find this 1965 Ford Falcon V8 in Torrance, CA for $9,500 via craigslist. The paint is new, the engine has been “tricked out” and it would look at home in any of 1000s of weekend car shows all over the country.
Looks like a nice little solid car (subject to closer inspection of course).
As much as I don't dig early Mustangs, Falcons always get my attention. That this one is still for sale is puzzling – perhaps because the CL ad is light on details and photos. Were this a similarly massaged wagon I'd probably go check it out.
