The car has very limited use for me but others I know have a useage so when my buddy told me I posted and when he texted me picture even better.
I am not certain what year it is. I would call (425) 334-3366 at NW Auto Recyclers
Here are some pictures of the car. Hood is there also but my buddy's camera ran out of room so it is what it is.
Buddy if mine told me there was around a 1963 Falcon in a yard in Machias, Washington. At Northwest Auto Recycling. It is the wrong year for my Falcon as I have a 66. Someone might be interested....

Thank you so much for the welcome and this new ride is a nice hobby. I trained when I first went in the Air Force as a forklift mechanic and later retrained as a aircraft mechanic. I intend to get...
The new carb is on and I rigged up the hot air tube using a piece of copper tubing that I had. I had to buy a compression fitting and gently bend the tubing into place. I flushed the gasoline line...

Gentleman seems to have a available 200 that might need rebuild.
I would be checking the guys who rebuild Mustangs also. Like there is a shop in Stanwood who pulls the sixes and put in V8's. Might get lucky and get a good engine that way.
The Carb, service manual arrived today. It took a while to get my mac computer to allow me to use the cd of the service manual. I finally figured it all out and downloaded Abode acrobat reader for...
