Gitsum ~True, at least for anyone that knew about the heritage or ever had a buddy that had a Sprint. For me it was my big brother that knew a Sprint owner. My bother had his own thing going. A '56 Chevrolet with a 389cu out of a wrecked Pontiac GTO. I later went on to buy a stock 2-door post '56 Chev (with paper-route money at age 15 for $400 at a used lot in1968), yanked the 265cu out and dropped in a 327cu short block and spent a year (with big bro's help) boring it to 350cu, full-race cam, 11lb flywheel, high-rise Edelbrock manifold, dual 4brl Hollys and Hedman headers. 425hp on the dyno. And that was the car I stepped into on my 16th birthday after coming home from the driving test in my dad's '56 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight! It's a wonder I survived to 17. LOL
My dad was born in 43 and he f***ing loved the Falcon. Anytime we’d see one, he’d talk about how much the Falcon and the og Ranchero Falcon influences the Mustang. So you guys got me right in the feels in the first 20 secs of this video.
The Ford falcon was continued in Australia all the way to 2016. Falcon utes (Ranchero) were also made aslong as the sedans but Australia made the ute well before America's ranchero or El Camino.
62 2 door wagon. Was my daily for 4 years. Currently parked in the garage. Needs rot repair. Have a 200ci for it. Can't wait until it's on the road again
So if the falcon is the dad, and the mustang is the son then I guess the fairlane is the mother, and the galaxie is that uncle that only comes around once a year and is kinda creepy? Also #Kentuckycobra
just another small youtuber hmm 🤔 I guess so... unless the ranchero is a long lost cousin from Texas or something, or the XLs are the grandparents to the mustang . then the mustangs son would be the mustang fastback, which would mean that the Torino talladega would be the mustang fastback’s and Gt40s son?
I don’t think the Aussie one was the same from 60s to 90s? The argentine one was, except they changed the headlights and tail lights to rectangular to “modernize” it.
Chabobox I mean the 90’s ford falcon in Argentina was the exact same body etc as the 63 falcon. You could literally bolt on 63 parts if you wanted to backdate the car.
My grandfather had a 300zx but my grandma made him sell it before I was born. He passed away when I was in grade 7. I'm 22 now and I just bought a 300zx.
@O.P. Yates dude you are mixing it up. Fascist militaries and peronistas were not the sane thing here. In fact, they were absolte enemies. The green falcon was the symbol of the military fascists!!!

That was a great stretch of regular car reviews. The rebuild of the falcon was some excellently made and enjoyable content. However, I was really disappointed in how the falcon turned out. It started out a humdrum car and finished a dull novelty. Sally the Fit had more personality. It really Revealed a lack of vision on RCR’s part.
@@gazorpazorp9798 I think he was trying to keep it "regular" if you get what I'm saying. Rcrs is nice but I wouldn't go crazy over it. This one is one-of-a-kind like waaayyyyy more than the vagabond
Don't let Ford see your comment. they might have every Falcon owner give up their babies for Mustangs. its clear as day they didn't like the Falcon still being loved so they finally killed it over here in Australia :'(
I'm with you. I've owned a '63 Falcoonie Ranchero w/a 170ci straight 6, and a '64½ Mustang w/a '66 Hi Horse 289ci V8. The Mustang was fast, but it was a 1-trick pony (so's to speak); it was good for collecting tickets. I loved that Falcon; it could haul stuff, tow surprisingly heavy cars (if I could keep the front wheels on the asphalt) and get me to work at 27mpg. Regrettably, I sold it at 240,000 miles, during which time I put a head gasket in it in 45 minutes, along with 3 clutches and a 3-speed tranny. The Ford Fairlane and the Mercury Comet were Falcons with different body panels. Even the wiring diagrams/harnesses were the same. If I wanted a fast Falcon I borrowed my little brother's '63 260ci Ranchero; it weighed so little it was like being in a slingshot.
@@jamesmcgrath6938 I've owned three 1969 Boss 429s and a 1970 Shelby GT-500. I've also owned Falcons every year from 1960 (144 cubic inch powerhouse) thru 1963. Guess what? I got more enjoyment out of driving those Falcons than any of my Mustangs. If I could find a decent one for a reasonable price, I would gladly buy another one. The difference between driving them and my Mustangs is like night and day.
I never forgot about the Falcon. I still remember when my son discovered his love for Falcons at the Fords at Carlisle show when he was 12. He is now on the verge of turning 21 and has a pro street 1961 Falcon under construction.
I love father/son builds. My Dad had a 62 Chevy II back in the day and loved it so when he came across a 62 Chevy II with a 350 for sale, he jumped on it. It was a mess. Rotted floor boards, rotted trunk pan, fenders, one door. We replaced it all, working little by little. Grandma even helped stitch the new interior together with us. By the time the car was done it was beautiful... And it had a leak from the rear main seal... So we broke down the engine and did a light overhaul, new cam, port, polish, 5 angle valve grind, big beefy carb, new fuel lines and new gearing for the rear end. It's not a monster by any means, but it's clean, lobey, and roars down the street screaming old school style all the way. A great homage to an awesome time spent together. Next up is his 39 International pickup. That thing is beautiful, even with all the work it needs.
The Falcon was hipster before hipster was a word. I bought my 1963 Futura convertible in 1991. The car was a 260 V-8, 4 spd, T10, original chrome wire wheel caps, and triple black - black top, black interior, black paint. It was BA. I had the car for 15 years; SoCal cruising at its finest. Thx for the vid - love your 'enthusiasm'.
Sería lo mejor que le podría haber pasado al TC imagínate la toro, el futura coupe, la Chevy y la gtx 😍😍😍 ( y si hubieran traído todos con opción v8 el TC seguro se transmitiría hasta el día de hoy internacionalmente)
I had a '62 futura with the 170ci engine. I yanked that out and replaced it with the 200ci from a '66 mustang. The auto trans left too , exchanged with a three speed manual , w Hurst shifter. I put pop up pistons , milled the head ,cammed it and installed an Offy three one barrel carb system with progressive linkage . Painted the car bright yellow with black stripes on the sides and a black teardrop hood . This was in '72 and I drove the crap out of it. I couldn't keep u-joints in it because of the rake angle ( a70/ 14 fr and l 60/15s in the back . Loved that car.
My dad had a 1963 Falcon Ranchero. He dropped a 302 in it with of course a four speed. Painted it and put some thicker tires on it. It didn’t corner well but man it would scoot in a straight line. At first he left the original rear end that was for the in-line 6 but the first pull it exploded !! Lol so we had to get a 9” . Thanks for bringing back the memories.
James: He didn't want to upgrade with modern tech to preserve the purity Also James: So he upgraded to 4-pot disc brakes, 5-speed transmission, coilover suspension, steering, tyres etc etc... Me: wait, what?
Yeah, I get the big brakes, stoppers are important and safety can't be overstated so those shouldn't need to be period-correct, but the "Explorer Rear End" came out of left field, as well as the new trans.
I absolutely love it. I've always wanted to build an early Falcon, much like this one! The very first car I ever worked on was my grandfather's 1963 2-door station wagon. I put a starter in it when I was about 12 or so. That was back in about 1969, and I haven't stopped working on vehicles since.
and they can bring in the Aussie new age falcon, if u wanna see look up 2010 FG XR6 turbo, i own one with a 6spd manual. fuckin good fun, and eats the aussie V8 commodores alive ;)
Falcon is my favorite car ever. For a few years, in the early '80's, I had a '64 Falcon Ranchero with a 6 cylinder & three on the tree. It was great. Wish I had kept it.
I have a 62. needs a lot of work. hopefully someday I can get it running and looking good. still has the 144c.i engine. trying to find something that will fit between the shock towers. can't afford independent front suspension yet. I love the taillights on the 61. the Andy Griffith show had a 61 used in many scenes. always watching for it.
I had a 63 Falcon that had a 170ci six and a 2 sp auto. I took them out and put a 289 and a T10 4sp manual with an 8 inch rear end. I also built an all aluminum hump cover w/ a platform for the Hurst shifter boot and took out the Ford letters and fender emblem and flared out the rear fenders. I wish i still had it. I miss it .
For some reason, I LOVE how these cars sit. They seem to look really balanced... i love it. Not too big up front, not too long round back, like an old skyline from the 70s in a way.
Por lo que me contaron mis familiares, a veces le pedían ayuda a los milicos para llegar a la casa, no digo que lo que hicieron estuviera bien, pero 99% de los que me cuentan de los milicos me dicen que te buscaban si estabas en algo raro
@@adreto2978 nah, in 1976 the military took over our goverment and some people say that they used the falcon to kidnap and dissapear people using this cars, they were usualy green
I knew those were 240z flairs. I absolutely love this story, I was waiting to watch this episode because falcons hold a special place in my heart and I wanted to give it the attention it deserved but I am blown away. Such an amazing car!
In Argentina the Falcon has a great history, it was both loved and hated basically for being the car that the army used to kidnap and ''dissapear'' people who didn't agree with the goverment from 1976 to 1984 (last argentine dictatorship), those were famous for being dark green. Also, the Falcon is considered the best ''performance car'' that Ford brought to Argentina on the 70's so it was so famous that people begun to modify them and use them to race, replacing the old little V8 coupes on the TC races ( carreras de Turismo Carretera). They were so important and so good, that since then, we still use the Falcon to race on the TC races against its competitors from that moment in Argentina ( Chevy Nova SS, Dodge GTX, and IKA Torino). Now a days these race cars are so modified that you can barely distinguish wich car is each model... I personally think is a fantastic car, the sound of the 3.6 L I6 engine ( that's the engine that the Sprint version used to offer here) at high RPMs is lovely, very similar to a 6 cyl. boxer engine.
The Falcon back then did some major justice. Those "kidnappings" were in reality JUSTICE. It was a very good car which served to combat subversion and terrorism. Great car, pretty much indestructible.
Because that's basically what it is, sadly. Toyota decided to cut corners and rebadge an already existing car. Again. And they wonder why we would rather play around with their older cars in vidya gaemz.
@@tallonmetroids271 They didn't rebadge an already existing car. The Z4 was dead and only returned because of the partnership. The chassis layout and powertrain was decided with both companies working together and then the cars were independently developed. The Supra obviously isn't a full Toyota product, but it's not a rebadged Z4 either.
I had one of those. Its actually a 63 and 1/2 Falcon Futura 2dr HT. Its 62 1/2 because the HT was designed for the 64-65 Falcon model. Cool car, and somewhat rare. Same body and HT as the Sprint.
In Argentina FORD FALCON was the best car that a middle class family can buy... It was the aspirational family car during the 70s and 80s. It was produced in Argentina since earlys 70 to earlys 90... Arround 30 years almost without changes
Yup! The original 'Stang was mostly a Falcon with a different set of street clothes on. That is a very "tough-looking" Falcon, there's a great story behind it...and...you made a Bob Ross reference! Awesome!
My dad had one of these 1963 falcons in 1966...(3 speed on the column with a straight 6 cylinder ) before he had to upgrade to a oldsmobile Vista Cruiser... I remember both very well.
@@jasonsalyer3982 Like this Argentina Falcon drag car from a few years ago I found quickly : th-cam.com/video/mhiNouWbrLI/w-d-xo.html Might be a few going harder since. The other day in Australia 2048 hp at the rear wheel hubs from a Falcon Barra, but with twin turbos : th-cam.com/video/R0bggIsb__A/w-d-xo.html Both cases need some skills in tuning 6 cyl cars
Don't forget the alternate company car, the Mercury Comet. I had a 1964, as a daily driver (60 miles round trip daily for work) and my dad who owned a late 1964 Mustang Fastback looked at the engine compartment while I was doing my quarterly tune up. "This is just like my Mustang".
My first car was a 64 falcon 3 on the tree that my Mom gave me when she bought her "Pinto", drove it from the street to the driveway every day, then I turned 16 got my license and bought a 67 Firebird 4 speed 326, good times but miss that little Falcon I never really got to drive.
That I'm aware of, there were four lines of evolution for the Falcon. The US line, the Canadian line, the South American line (look up "Argentinian Falcon, it's an eye opener) and the Australian Falcon. Ford Australia went the furthest, developing its own heads for both the Windsor and Cleveland, and the infamous 4 litre Barra turbo inline 6 cylinder

@@Splungers America, give us our factories back. If not, bugger off.
When James said “your about to meet” I was hoping he would say “my dad” lol
Honestly I think you guys need a TV show on like history channel. I feel like these bumper to bumper episodes and others would go great on there.
I absolutely love it. I've always wanted to build an early Falcon, much like this one! The very first car I ever worked on was my grandfather's 1963 2-door station wagon. I put a starter in it when I was about 12 or so. That was back in about 1969, and I haven't stopped working on vehicles since.
Thank you my grandpa has a 63 falcon sprint custom made and i am happy this car is now being noticed
I definitely remember when I was a kid me and my dad going to check out this falcon on the side of the road and it was beautiful
you need to do an up to speed on the Falcon
Falcon Sprint be the shit
ShoJ Tihgrw there’s a local guy in Georgia with a 460 swapped falcon sprint... because every small car needs a huge big block.
and they can bring in the Aussie new age falcon, if u wanna see look up 2010 FG XR6 turbo, i own one with a 6spd manual. fuckin good fun, and eats the aussie V8 commodores alive ;)
I want that too especially if they include the Barra as part of the Falcons rich history. #Barratheworld my cunny! :P
Now we need a Falcon Up To Speed episode!
(don't forget Argentina's TC in it!)
FALCON TURISMO CARRETERA PLEASEEEEEEE
Dude… I’m always impressed by just how many fire episodes you guys have even 3 years ago!
James.. Jerry.. Nolan… I love you 😢❤
Ford Falcon: ARE YA WINNING SON?
Mustang: Yeah dad!
Falcon and mustang, iconic legends in their own rights
Editor: How many effects do you want?
James: Yes
That Bob Ross plug in LMAOOOOO!!!
great job keep these amazing videos coming please.
I'm argentinian and the Ford Falcon is really special to me. My dad has a Falcon race car. I grow with six in line broken blocks in my garden
Falcon is my favorite car ever. For a few years, in the early '80's, I had a '64 Falcon Ranchero with a 6 cylinder & three on the tree. It was great. Wish I had kept it.
Mr regular is gonna be watching this looking for mistakes
Most likely the problem is it's not BROWN
definitely hard the entire time
Regular Car Reviews introduced me to the american Falcon.
RCR introduced me into car based insults. Love him :P
@@dmpope1527 he still has the Falcon
I have a 61 Comet a Falcon with touches of the Edsel.
I have a 62. needs a lot of work. hopefully someday I can get it running and looking good. still has the 144c.i engine. trying to find something that will fit between the shock towers. can't afford independent front suspension yet. I love the taillights on the 61. the Andy Griffith show had a 61 used in many scenes. always watching for it.
@O.P. Yates You are right. Even a spunky v-8 is no match for the new cars. It's like comparing a Zippo to a Bic.
I had a 63 Falcon that had a 170ci six and a 2 sp auto. I took them out and put a 289 and a T10 4sp manual with an 8 inch rear end. I also built an all aluminum hump cover w/ a platform for the Hurst shifter boot and took out the Ford letters and fender emblem and flared out the rear fenders. I wish i still had it. I miss it .
My first car was a 1962 Ford Falcon. 170 giant cubic inches under the hood. Three on the tree. Yee Haw !!! Great little car....bullet proof. Loved it.

It would be so cool if we got the Falcon with the Barra engine
We DID.
Straya mate
It would be so cool if we got the Ranger with a turpo barra
@@TheLexiconDevils better than that 2 litre bottle of milk they call an engine
Oh we got a 3.2 I5 as well
Yo that Bob Ross edit was on point. 😂❤
For some reason, I LOVE how these cars sit. They seem to look really balanced... i love it. Not too big up front, not too long round back, like an old skyline from the 70s in a way.
Here in Argentina, the Falcon is like the Mustang for the Americans
This car in Argentina was extremely popular. Even today it has its own cult following around the country.
When you're an Argentinian and knows that you have to run when you see a falcon in streets, especially if it is green
Por lo que me contaron mis familiares, a veces le pedían ayuda a los milicos para llegar a la casa, no digo que lo que hicieron estuviera bien, pero 99% de los que me cuentan de los milicos me dicen que te buscaban si estabas en algo raro
Gangsta cars? The green ba falcons are big bogan cars in aus hahah
@@adreto2978 nah, in 1976 the military took over our goverment and some people say that they used the falcon to kidnap and dissapear people using this cars, they were usualy green
@@Facu_Villalba I’m thinking of a different car but that sounds scary
It sounds like a snarling WOLF.
This guy needs a show on netflix.
I knew those were 240z flairs. I absolutely love this story, I was waiting to watch this episode because falcons hold a special place in my heart and I wanted to give it the attention it deserved but I am blown away. Such an amazing car!
Basically Ford’s Anti-Mustang
10:57 Great Scot! Isn’t that the tunnel where Biff killed Marty in the 50s, so Doc had to go back in time to save him?
In Argentina the Falcon has a great history, it was both loved and hated basically for being the car that the army used to kidnap and ''dissapear'' people who didn't agree with the goverment from 1976 to 1984 (last argentine dictatorship), those were famous for being dark green.
Also, the Falcon is considered the best ''performance car'' that Ford brought to Argentina on the 70's so it was so famous that people begun to modify them and use them to race, replacing the old little V8 coupes on the TC races ( carreras de Turismo Carretera).
They were so important and so good, that since then, we still use the Falcon to race on the TC races against its competitors from that moment in Argentina ( Chevy Nova SS, Dodge GTX, and IKA Torino). Now a days these race cars are so modified that you can barely distinguish wich car is each model...
I personally think is a fantastic car, the sound of the 3.6 L I6 engine ( that's the engine that the Sprint version used to offer here) at high RPMs is lovely, very similar to a 6 cyl. boxer engine.
The Falcon back then did some major justice. Those "kidnappings" were in reality JUSTICE. It was a very good car which served to combat subversion and terrorism. Great car, pretty much indestructible.
63 falcon is my absolute dream car. Good lord what a masterpiece.
I love Daniel and your expression @12:26, priceless!
Please do a bumper to bumper on the 2020 Toyota Supra
Might as well do the BMW Z4 while you at it
@@MarloSoBalJr why tho?
Because that's basically what it is, sadly. Toyota decided to cut corners and rebadge an already existing car. Again.
And they wonder why we would rather play around with their older cars in vidya gaemz.
@@MarloSoBalJr I think they should do them both in the same video and show the similarities/differences
@@tallonmetroids271 They didn't rebadge an already existing car. The Z4 was dead and only returned because of the partnership. The chassis layout and powertrain was decided with both companies working together and then the cars were independently developed. The Supra obviously isn't a full Toyota product, but it's not a rebadged Z4 either.
I love this car grandpa has 2 a convertible and hardtop 😍 been asking for this
So is an “up to speed” on the ford falcon coming up soon? I would love to watch one since I own a 64’ falcon!
I had one of those. Its actually a 63 and 1/2 Falcon Futura 2dr HT. Its 62 1/2 because the HT was designed for the 64-65 Falcon model.
Cool car, and somewhat rare. Same body and HT as the Sprint.
In Argentina FORD FALCON was the best car that a middle class family can buy... It was the aspirational family car during the 70s and 80s. It was produced in Argentina since earlys 70 to earlys 90... Arround 30 years almost without changes

The Aussie Falcon is an Icon down under. The 4.0 Barra Turbo is 👌
I really appreciate you guys implementing an “ad timer” bar on your videos. Please never stop doing that and I’ll never stop liking the videos.
Love James love the show, love Nolan but where's BART!?
1:55 corvair drift best car ever
*Noone:*
*Jack: **_SPONSOR EAGLE_*
Yup! The original 'Stang was mostly a Falcon with a different set of street clothes on. That is a very "tough-looking" Falcon, there's a great story behind it...and...you made a Bob Ross reference! Awesome!
My dad had one of these 1963 falcons in 1966...(3 speed on the column with a straight 6 cylinder ) before he had to upgrade to a oldsmobile Vista Cruiser... I remember both very well.
Bumper to bumper on the 2020 supra and point out everything wrong lol
Ford falcon? in argentina we could rev them old 6 cyl to like 13k its sick
4500 tops
Yeah. No way.
@@jasonsalyer3982 Like this Argentina Falcon drag car from a few years ago I found quickly :

Might be a few going harder since.
The other day in Australia 2048 hp at the rear wheel hubs from a Falcon Barra, but with twin turbos :
th-cam.com/video/R0bggIsb__A/w-d-xo.html
Both cases need some skills in tuning 6 cyl cars
In b4 the title says falcon.
Don't forget the alternate company car, the Mercury Comet. I had a 1964, as a daily driver (60 miles round trip daily for work) and my dad who owned a late 1964 Mustang Fastback looked at the engine compartment while I was doing my quarterly tune up. "This is just like my Mustang".
My first car was a 64 falcon 3 on the tree that my Mom gave me when she bought her "Pinto", drove it from the street to the driveway every day, then I turned 16 got my license and bought a 67 Firebird 4 speed 326, good times but miss that little Falcon I never really got to drive.
Yoooooooo, I thought americans forget about the falcon xD. Cuz in Argentina, Ford made it until 1982
Los australianos lo hicieron hasta el 2016 creo, aunque al final eran como mondeos
The title doesn't say anything about the Falcon.
they’re gonna change the title a bunch like they usually do so it’ll probably end up with it
falcon and mustangs vs minis in btcc championships
First car was a 1966 Mustang GT in 1989. There was a template for the Shelby Drop. You lowered it like 1", bolted it back up and it was great.
That I'm aware of, there were four lines of evolution for the Falcon. The US line, the Canadian line, the South American line (look up "Argentinian Falcon, it's an eye opener) and the Australian Falcon. Ford Australia went the furthest, developing its own heads for both the Windsor and Cleveland, and the infamous 4 litre Barra turbo inline 6 cylinder
