Hell, Scott.
How many miles were put on the engine since it was last rebuilt in 1994? Other than the vibration, did the engine show any problems like burning oil or running hot? Was the...
It rained almost every day this past May and we received eleven inches for the month. I don't like driving The Wonder Falcon in the rain, so it sat in the garage the whole time. The weather...

Two-speed Falcon automatics show up on e-bay fairly regularly.
I just did a quick glance at e-bay and saw a Ford-O-Matic transmission for a 260 V-8 listed. See:...

The engine temperature in my Falcon gets too hot when I am stuck in stop-and-go traffic during the summer. I interpreted the problem as insufficient air flow when the engine was idling. Logically,...
Hello, Jeff
Did you drive your Falcon???!!!
I didn't mention about it here when it happened to Snooty because the whole thing was so sad. A lot of people were upset about it and were demanding...
Here is another of my alternate suggestions: You do not need to change things that do not need to be changed.

I saw this article yesterday that says Classic Inlines has been purchased by a new owner and the performance cylinder head is back in production.
The article starts out saying: "Since the first...

Wow! I have now put over 25,000 miles on The Wonder Falcon! :) That has averaged at about 5,000 a year. The car runs marvelously and is super fun to drive.
Hello, Roger. It...

As my wife and I were leaving the Silver Springs car show in Ocala this afternoon, we saw a sign that said "Fort King Historic Site". We went to check it out, but I figured that all we would find...
Happy 2018, everyone!
The Wonder Falcon provided me with 5,263 trouble-free miles in 2017 and I enjoyed every one of them. :)
I bought three new Milestar MS775 P175/80R13 86S WSW tires off...

Thanks, Jeff.
