Expectant looks from the local mechanic, no doubt.

It's a '63, isn't it? Or a '62. Badgework, IIRC, tells me '63.

My first car was a '61 Falcon.

What do you plan to do with her?

luckily my dad is a very good mechanic of over 30 years

close, '64 XM Falcon

plans are to restore as much as my uni finances let me lol. Its a long term project though.

Its amazing how much different old cars are to drive, its just great

Congratulations on your purchase... Looks quite photogenic.

Haven't seen one like that since the TV series "Homicide".

lol - shall we pipe a new oil line directly to your house?

only joking, looks like a nice project - as they say, they certainly don't build 'em like they used to now

Looks quite photogenic.

you lucky thing - 'she' is beautiful !!!!
I love old cars - they have a personality that new ones just don't !!
I'm sure you'll both be very happy together, but make sure you treat the rust pretty soon - I'm learning by experience how sneaky and nasty it really is

Very nice Nathan, which motor does it have in it? Nothing like driving a classic

she definitely has personality!

and ur right, they just dont build them like they used to.

glen, i dont actually know, my guess is the 170ci... it does have super pursuit badges on the front quarters which could mean the 200ci, but of course that doesnt always count for much, i will do a bit more research into the engine numbers on thursday when i spend the day giving her a much needed cut and polish
