Finally, could it really be that the last time this wagon was licensed for the road was 1969? Crazy to think. The odometer reads 81216 so I suppose it's possible.

Need help on this "regulator"? It was bolted on the left side of the core support just above the horn. Is it a horn relay?

I do like the look of the Moog lower control arm:

Well, this past weekend I finally got some time to drive to my parents south of Spokane and then spend a few days with my dad at my brother's (he has the wagon in his shop) and start some work.
We...
One other question regarding the steering wheel. There are cracks where the spokes meet the rings and also at the center base. Has anyone repaired these cracks with an epoxy and then repainted the...
Went through the car today and gathering a list of parts needed. Tackling the suspension first. For ease we will replace the lower control arm. My understanding is the stud on the upper ball joint...
Roger - thanks for sharing. Great stuff. Love the poem and painting. The musical side of things is always something that escaped me - guess that side of the brain doesn't work too well.
I'll...

So, there you are. Be patient with me and my dumb questions. Also, if anyone has a spare quarter panel trim to hold the deluxe trim piece on let me know. We have a missing one. I'll have to check...

A couple of years ago I got a call from the daughter of a local guy who had passed away. Seems he had a lot of Falcons, Falcon parts, engines, transmissions, etc. I agreed to stop by and check it...
Yes, I got two of them and then a future email with an invite to the new site and to ignore the prior password change emails.
I have been doing a lot of searching without a lot of success. Maybe I'm search illiterate.
On a 6 cyl Falcon, if one is staying with a drum brake setup, what's the best way to convert to a 5...
Just a couple of weeks until the mini-meet. Hoping for at least 15-20 cars if possible. I believe when I was at the last event down south there were 30+. The dealership is really excited for this...
Glad to hear you'll make it over. We have room blocks set up for folks that want to spend the night on Friday, Saturday or both nights. We blocked 15 rooms for now at the Ellensburg Red Lion -...
Welcome - glad we have corresponded via email. Great looking car! Hope to see your Falcon at the PNW mini-regional in Ellensburg on Sept 18th
Yep, we're trying again. Should be a fun event. We've received the insurance certificate and the dealership is going to the city to be allowed to close the street they normally have shows on. ...
I have been in correspondence with the estate. She has been unable to find the title and has been working with Olympia on the procedures to transfer ownership so the new owner can obtain a title. I...
Sweet ride. You don't see a lot with the deluxe trim piece on the lower quarter panel. My old 61 Starliner had that.
Here's the 63 2 door we pulled out of a shed two weeks ago. Was sitting on concrete so it's pretty solid.

I actually didn't want to deal with the water situation with the county so it's a "dry" shop. However there is a mini-fridge (with beer) and a microwave on top. Had lunch out there today.
Spent...
And it's home in the shop

Yep, 63. Corrected - clearly I didn't proof read my post
I see it posted every once in awhile on a couple of the Falcon Facebook pages - such a sweet car.
Yep, if interested Larry send me a private message. It's a 63 2 door sedan with the T-bird...
