Draggin' another one home! Is it worth it? After 26 years, can we get it on the road again?

We found a 1966 Ford Falcon on Marketplace. Drove 3 hours to see if it's worth saving. Not our usual Hot Rod/Rat Rod style but we like the idea of saving another vintage car. It's been off the road for 26 years.... Is it worth the time and money? We'll see... Join us on this budget build.

They always say they had it running. Cool find. He’s a little one, call him Chuck.

Thanks, I thought Chuck also but a good buddy of mine is named Chuck so i felt like it didn’t fit. I have seen the washer bags on some restorations but my first OG.

I'm with you I think the air breather cover and valve cover look awesome just the way they are! Amazing how a set of wheels can change a look of a car. Great job!!

These mid-late 60's Falcons are popular again as budget muscle car builds, the Mustang was built off the Falcon Platform so ALOT of the parts interchange.

Thank you for the info. I thought that about the mustang but wasn’t sure. It’s definitely a car that’s growing on me every day.

You can still buy those windshield washer fluid bags for like $25. I’m sure they’re re-pops but they do say FoMoCo on on side.

That Falcon is in great condition. We had almost the identical Ford here in Australia, except it was a 4 door., I was lucky enough to own one a 1968 GT Falcon 302 4 speed back in the day. A mate of mine here still has an original one with less than 30k miles on it.

@ridgerunnergarage 8 ай бұрын

Thank you. There’s a lot of the 4 doors still around here. It’s the first 2 door I ever had the chance to buy. I always wanted a fast back one like in the Road Warrior movie.

Those are definitely original keys, that's a solid old Falcon are you keeping it stock or hot rodding it up a bit?

@ridgerunnergarage 8 ай бұрын

Thank you. We were thinking they were the original keys. With all the cars we’ve bought over the years, we are lucky to get the keys at all. Keeping it stock but we’re adding a set of wheels. Thank you for watching! 😎
