One for the wife
Alrighty then,
It had to happen. My wife has become a car person, and wanted a car of her own. She was afraid to hurt the Comet, and won't learn to drive the Metropolitan, so she picked this as her car; 1968 Ford Falcon sports coupe. We are the 4th owners. It was bought new in '68 in LA, traded in in '70 at Bill Morey Ford in Whittier. The 2nd owner bought it there in '70, for $2,100.00. She drove it till 1996, when she parked it in her garage till 2018. Her daughter mentioned it to a neighbor, who bought it in 2018 (owner #3). He went through it (trans/brakes/radiator/fuel system), repainted it original Wimbledon white, added the Weld wheels, removed the side chrome, and we saw it at a local car show in 2019. My wife fell in love with it. We lost track of it during 2020, then saw it again in May of 2021 at the same local show. The car changed hands in September, and we are the 4th owners. It is a factory 302, C4, power steering, vinyl top, factory air, bucket seat car. Interior is all original. There's only 74k on the clock. She couldn't be happier. Only changes are to add a front disk brake conversion, and new carpeting. As usual, all comments/criticism/threats are welcome, and encouraged, ImagesView all Images in thread

Beautiful little car and nice story. Mine is not a Falcon but will have to do LOL. 2007 Shelby Mustang GT 5 speed 46,000 on it. Future collectable. They only made these two years and you can only get them in black or white.
Thanks, Fred |
