I bet the sleeper dude is drooling He loves those old Ford falcons. In fact I think he's putting a small block in one. I enjoy your videos and really appreciate the fact that you keep it kid friendly much appreciated
Love the old wagons! They have so much character, unlike all the plastic we have now.
I agree! 😁
@@BudgetBuildz you should call her praline....cuz ...she was full of nuts
and of course...as usual.... you have to say it....
DEEZ NUTS!!!!!!
HA.....
GOT EM!!!
I totally agree. I really like that old falcon wagon. I'd fix and arrest the rust holes and patch up the floor and then clear coat the paint and patina. The perfect anti SUV.
oh yeah, steel dash , no seat belts. back in the day i had a 64 falcon and 2 - 63 comets, i really wish i had them now. i paid $35 for the falcon$75 for one comet $50 for the other . gas was about 25 cents a gallon and i made $1.25 an hour at the golden arches. those were the days.
@@BudgetBuildz I like aluminum radiators though on RWD cars because their light weight helps traction and rwd cars need every bit of traction they can get. Rear battery helps too, but if there is no place in the wagon, then try combining a very small battery with a supercapacitor. Just being a wagon helps traction too, which is part of the reason I prefer wagons.
That's the first time that Falcon has seen any kind of love in over 38 years. That model series of the Falcon has always been my favorite.
Some of these old cars just don’t want to perish, may this 1961 Ford Falcon Wagon live on forever, she is a sweet old girl.
The Holly is the best i love Holly ❤
Michael yalls channel is our favorite to watch, thanks for the continued wholesome content
Really glad you’re enjoying!!! ☺️☺️
@@BudgetBuildzHow much for the white diesel Rabbit? 😊
I hope you went for the full restoration. It's a really nice looking car.
It would be nice to take that wagon (fully restored of course) to Yellowstone on Vacation!
They came from the factory with a double action fuel pump that had a vacuum booster for the wipers. The vacuum line you pointed out connects to the vacuum booster. The pump you installed with the filter on top was used on 1963 and later models. Thanks for saving that wagon, it has a lot of potential!
My amc had a fuel pump like that too
Thought he was your brotherhood those wagons are coolwhat state are you in roc
being a Scot who lives in England but who spent 35 years working in car restoration it has been interesting to see the different names you use for certain items such as freeze plug as against our core plug, but nevertheless, I do appreciate the enthusiasm and its nice to see real mechanics at work rather than those 'pimp my ride' type shows. i shall follow this car with interest.
Got to tell my 19 yo son that when I was growing up we had one of these my middle sister drove to school and she painted the car navy blue, the roof white and the wheels red, with a paintbrush! In was one 1976 so she called it the spirit of ‘76 as well as painted that name in red underneath the drivers side windshield wiper! Those were some awesome times in my life! My older sister had the little sedan of the same year, 61 ish and I’ve still got a warbuncle on my forehead where I flew into the metal dash as my teenage sister went roaring across one of our southern Montana cow pastures and hit a washout! Wow, those were the days. That little car was the same green color of your wheels.😂
Patina is cool on the right vehicle. I think this is the right vehicle.
I would love to see more videos on this old car. They don't make station wagons anymore like that. Please restore it and keep it running. Sure does beat these newer cars.
So cool y'all done it ❤ TY I'm starting to injoy you guys ❤️💜
That little fella sure has all the bells and whistles you could put on a 1960 Ford Falcon. Love the rooftop chrome luggage carrier. Very chic chic 😊
I had a 1961 Falcon Coupe with buckets and a console when I left Hawaii in 77. Shipped to Ga and drove until selling to another GI. Had a 144 engine with 3-speed on the tree. Changed valve cover with later model and installed PCV system to help breathe and run cleaner.
Hi bro from west Alabama
Hey Bro! 🙂 How’s this weekend going?
@@BudgetBuildz about same
If your reading this i love your videos make more please.
That old Falcon Wagon is cool stuff don't let Sleeper Dude see that thing or he will want it for his collection but that's a cool old car you found there. I'm not a Ford guy but I like the old Falcons
Just what i needed to cheer my day. Love from Portugal 🇵🇹😉
🤗🤗
28:44 exactly. the way it sat there in the woods, overgrown and left behind, it's absolutely awesome how you guys massage them back into life. Gives me so much satisfaction. looking forward to a further roadstoration and interior fix-up. saving the world and one car at a time. love you guys. keep 'em coming.
He have character, I love it and I love the fact you give her back to life. That's great !
I just can't believe ppl leave pearls like this in the woods for years. Luckely they get new life🙏
I remember this car, my dad had one. The driving technique on this car goes back to the 30's. The falcon wagon wouldn't start one day and was towed in . 0 compression.
Those old wagons are very scarce.. that one really doesn't look beyond.... Bring 'er back man. Get ' er done!!!
Yes I did enjoy this rescue mission.... just love your optimism calling it (*) "patina! (* sometimes, in less refined circles, referred to as [dare I use that vulgar term] "rust").
Great video … old cars are much easier to work on than the ones they make nowadays.
Totally agree Mark.
The reason is no one turns wrenches anymore- they might get dirty
My mother had a 1963 Ford Falcon station wagon. Ours was blue and did not have A/C.
Before that, she had a 54 Buick. After this little ford she got a 67 buick
Man you are right there in Sleeperdude territory with this Falcon. I bet it smells nice and fresh LOL.
Pretty impressive, kept waiting for the burnout.
Rebuilt one of these back in the 70's. Put in a 4 speed and drove it across Texas.
0:15 ohhh, a nice and rare french car : renault 4cv in the background ! 🥰
If that’s THEE original paint, keep the patina! Having an IV gas tank ride shotgun is the first that I’ve seen. Great job!
That would be the bomb of an old wagon going out on the beach!
I had an old 60 falcon and the carburetor was a holly, but it had a glass fuel bowl. Really cool watching the fuel going through the carburetor like that.
Ran great, but because they had permanent valve guides worn out, it burned oil really bad.
You guys must buy them magic erasers by the pound😊
Basically 😅😅
I would drive that the rest of my life. New engine, trans and understuff. Keep the patina and fix the floor. I got excited when you got it running again. Love that old stuff.
Wow very cool Michael. When is the next video on the Plymouth? My gosh I love that car (I wish I owned one) (even though I am more of a Mini Cooper lover).
Great video Michael and Mr."Dad" Wagner!!
Ah, always a happy day when you upload a new episode and 'SHE'S A RUNNER' ! I like how much you guys enjoy yourselves, keep going.
save more wagons! Hell Yes.
Another classic saved from the crusher, well done!
Love it! Boy, they don't make 'em like that any more!
Growing up a Ford guy, i love that wagon, brakes muffler & tape up the headliner & you'd have a decent grocery getter. Love the that crazy rabbit & the gmc motor home.
Nice to see this Falcon back on the road
Amazing that AC was installed in this car.
My Grandmother had 62 Falcon Wagon and a 62 Ranchero both white straight 6 and 3 on the tree boy does it bring back memories
This video was fantastic. I had a 1963 falcon 2dor wagon with a 144 ci engine. I had more fun in that car than if I had a suped up sportscar. Seeing you pull tis one out of the forest and get it running brought back a lot of memories for me. Keep up the good work.
old cars never dy!!!!
I am old enough to have driven one, it was 13years old when I drove it., that was in 74, it was my brothers car, I liked the old Falcons, they were dependable and inexspencive to keep up and run.
Back when I was growing up our neighbors two doors down had a Red Falcon Wagon that looked like this. The wife owned a 65 Oldsmobile 442 with the four speed. The husband ONLY drove the Falcon.
My dad was selling Fords when the Falcons came out. Great little cars.
You and your dad have a great channel. Always enjoy watching your projects come to life! Great to see all of the vehicles you are giving a second life. Love the Ford falcons. You won’t have any problem selling it if you choose to sell.
I had a '63 falcon wagon with the 2 speed slopamatic when I was in High School. Loved the car. It was a gutless wonder tho.
That is a sweet little wagon. My dad had a ‘63, 2 door white, with A/C back in the day. Wish I had it today.
I love the Falcon. And how close you and your father are.
Glad you do! Thank you, I’m really glad we get to work together 😊😊
@@BudgetBuildz. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Maybe a metal flake paint job is around the corner
Is that the sweetest sounding engine? What a wonderful car. Great job. Thumbs up from the UK.
My cousin used to have one of those. Here in Argentina Falcons were made up till the early 1990s. You can still see older an newer models on the road. They had the 3.0L (188) and the 3.6L (221) engines. The majority with manual gearbox, we are not very used to AT (nowadays maybe younger people are) . Those cars are bulletproof and easy to repair. Really nice video .
You need a “cheap” paint booth! These cars could use a little paint love.
AC must have really hobbled that little engine!
Those windows cleaned up just like new.
Whatever you do to the rest of the car try to keep that exhaust note. That little 6-cylinder sounds good.
great old car, love to see a full restore on it
Your dad is so hard working you so lucky man to have him
Hey at least these two are getting rewarded for hard work. Is some of us who worked hard and got the crapp end of the stick 😮
Hi Michael! Love watching you and your Dad work on these old cars. I found something on TH-cam and showed my son the other night. I said this is him and I working on something. Ya gotta watch this. It's only a minute long. 🤣 Send This To A Car Guy - How To Add Horsepower - PARODY. Have a great day!
Our Australian Falcons looked similar, and even had a lever for the "Hood", when we have bonnets.
I think this was an XM over there - someone will correct me.
Poor old girl, I hope that she has a future.
Very cool!! She sure does 😊
The 1960 model Aussie Falcon was an XK and it was almost identical to the U.S version. After the XK things started veering off from the U.S version. Being a 1961 in the video you can 'somewhat' consider it the equivalent of our XL. The Australian XM and then XP deviated substantially in appearance from their yearly counterpart in the U.S. And then the whole process of Ford Australia putting a local face on an American Falcon began again with the local 1967 XR Falcon looking almost the same as the American version.
@@erroneouscode Thank you very much for clearing that up!
The roof rack makes it! Cool car…
I’d just have to do the bodywork, strip off the rust, and paint it. Personally, I don’t even mind a little fiberglass and bondo body repair to bring something like this back to shine ‘on the cheap’. Others may object to it but I understand that not all cars are worth professional, show car level restorations; rather trying to make something look the best you can with the focus being on the grunt work, not the money and looking good while driving the fun out of it!
When installing radiators, cut a piece of cardboard to protect the inside surface from getting damaged. A couple of minutes makes for a much neater job.
I had a 64 falcon station wagon with the power rear window. Great car to work on. So simple and efficient. Nowadays everything is plastic & Cheaply made. Thanks for the video!
Seeing the old Falcons takes me back so many years.
Earlier this evening, I was on Facebook and discovered that there’s a group devoted to the Firebird that was used on the Rockford Files. I noticed your Firebird as you were driving your Falcon around and was reminded of seeing the group on Facebook this evening.
Nice work man. I like seen dead cars, back to life and on the road again. I have the same hobby you know.
I’d like to see you guys restore that original aft market A/C!!!
A very Good Morning to You and your Father. This project has been a really Good watch of yours and your Fathers Incredible Restoration Skill, Ability, Care, Mechanical Knowledge. What a very Gorgeous American Classic this vehicle is. She really does Deserve a Full Restoration, the works done to this Beautiful and Full of History of who ever originally owned her many years ago. This is a rare Falcon Wagon. Strip her down completely, check all of the metal sub frame, and just begin again and replace any rusted through metal work. Like you did on your Beautiful Porsche that i remember following you and your Father Episode by Episode. Loved every single stage that You both created that Gorgeous and very Stunning Porsche 911 Classic Sports car. You both should do the same project with this Beautiful, Rare American Classic Falcon Wagon. Make this one, Your Best Restoration my Friend.
Exhaust and brakes will turn it into a cool little grocery getter.
Falcons are my favorite cars
Nice job Michael and dad, I was just thinking, a nice little feature would be a perspex panel in the footwell, and keep the view of the road passing by beneath your feet 👍🤔😆
Boy sleeperdude would be all over this
Nice fine
Love the wagons
Great to see the smile on your dad's face 😊😊😊😊
I love your channel! I watch your content before Vice Grip Garage, and Junkyard Digs. Thanks for your hard work.
Yes a new video 😀 I love when i see a notfication from Budget Buildz 👍
I really hope you enjoy!! 😊
@@BudgetBuildz Always 😀
@22:08 Boy howdy THAT woke you up!!!😂
I love this model of Falcon wagon! Put a satin clear over the rusty areas to preserve them. Get the AC working. Replace the floor pans.
Swap or fix the seats. Replace the headliner. Put a cheap stereo in it, and DRIVE it!
Red wheels, dog dish caps. Rattle can white paint job, red pinstripes and low buck interior job (Mexican blanket)
Nice running and sounding 6 cylinder engine 😋
Love it, I'd cruise with it exactly like it is.old school!
You guys are amazing. Y’all make simpletons like me get out and work on stuff just for the love of it.
Good lookin little wagon
My dad proudly turned up in the Squire version of this same model [1962] when I was twelve. It was the first station wagon we had owned. Prior to this time, he had always had 'utes' - pick ups for you Americans - and we kids just loved the security of loafing and sleeping in the cargo bay, rather than under the tarmac of the open tray back ! Thank for your entertaining and professional work
Wagon's with roof luggage rack,❤❤❤. This falcon deserves more love. Thank you!
Enjoyed this video a lot. Old Fords never die.
Oh shit, as you was driving the wagon out out of the garage. You passed the Rabbit P/U, I still want one of those, but I '81-'83 Rabbit diesel. Oh the memories. 😂😂
I love this one! Gotta fix the old wagons!
She's in good shape for the shape she's in .
Red rims will set it off! Awesome job guys. I love those 60's model Fords. Lo
You tease me over and over with the Merc SL, I must know details! Falcon sweeeeet!
You check vacuum cannisters the same way I do 🤣
I've been following you many years now. along with Dylan (Mcool). Both of you are " the gentlemen" in restorations. Greetings from Christmas Island.
Looks and runs like a factory new Ford Falcon should. All you need is a couple of white spray cans of paint.
Great find resurrected wagon
Your starting to look like your dad with the mustache. Looking good, i do appreciate all the repairs you guys do, keep up the great work. Just waiting on another update for the RV. I had a 28 footer that i did all my own repairs including the refrigerator.
That sound!! I love it. Please keep it up a dont change!
