Dennis,
Don't laugh....those Falcon's have quite a following, and $400 is a pretty
good deal, IMHO.
If nothing more, I might know of someone down here in San Diego who might be
very interested in the leftovers once you remove the tired 260. My
suspicion is that the CO may not know that these old rides are pretty
popular in some sets.
Regards,

Subject: Old Worn Out 260 sml blk
I stumbled on a 1963 ford falcon station wagon with a 260 in it. The
motor has never been out of the car. Water pump;coil;carb;radiator;are
new. the car is in good shape. The interior is good. The dash is not
cracked. origional radio and interior if anyone really cares about that
kind of stuff. any way, to the point: the motor was operational when
last the car was parked eight months ago. It will not start now. got
fire all the way to the plugs. Is it possible the timing chain just
quit while sitting. I realize the motor will have to be redone. Asking
price is 400 dollars. Think I am going to buy this thing. I think I'm
asking folks to talk me out of it. All comments welcome. Try not to
beat up on the poor old falcon. Rebuild the motor. Been reading my
manuals and hot rod mags. I think an old wagon with low profile
tires,curtains,a killer stereo and a slightly hot small v8 would be
cool. I could at least move most of my band equipment.
Slings,arrows,comments,brickbats??
