    Great job on that '62 Falcon. That was the 2nd car I owned after graduating high school in 1970. Paid $150.00 for it. White, 144 c.i. straight 6 hooked to the 2 speed Ford O Mastic trans. Painted it bronze. Put Gabriel high jackers on her. 14 inch Fairlane rims on the back. Never got round to putting a 289 in her though. Got a letter from Dick Nixon ordering me to the Army. That was '71. Sold the Falcon cause I figured there be a good chance I wouldn't make it back. But I did. But she was gone.I really loved that car. Tons of memories, especially in that luxurious back seat!!!! Anyway, great job on her! She looks & sounds fabulous!!

    I had a 64 that I daily drove back in the 80s. Set up properly these actually do make good daily drivers.

    Very nice. Beside what he said they needed to do to throw a 302 in it he had to change the entire front suspension, sway bar, spindles, brake systems the list goes on and on. A lot of work to swap from a inline 6 to a v8 safely in the early 60's year vehicles.

    G'day from down under, very nice example, and the young dude kept the period-correct radio! Ford Australia built these Falcons locally but didn't offer the coupes until '64 to '65 with slightly different body styles. 🤟😎

    Am I the only one to take notice of a small big detail? I looked down the comments- not one pointed it out. I'm not a knit-picker on this one. I love all Falcons '60--'65. I'll take the '62's front and rear appearance over the '63's, but his '62 has the tail lights of a '61. His car looks great and sounds beautiful! Such Music!

    • @mael-strom9707

      Are you sure it was a chrome star? From memory, I think it may have been a stylized chrome falcon. 🤔🤟😎

    • @kahvozeinsfang6953
      @kahvozeinsfang6953 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Mael-Strom The falcon on the fenders wouldn't have been chrome. It would most likely have been a golden color and that probably why he remember it as a star.
      But of course Australian Falcons differ somewhat from the North American models. They have a badge on the front of some models.

    Nice Falcon and the host sounds like a nice dude, but I wish he didn't lean his elbows on the fenders of other guy's car. It's a good way to put some dents on the top of the fenders.
