Me too, I had a fairlane with the 200 ci ,had 220,000+ miles sold it, lady drove it until she pulled out in front of a pickup, it was declared dead. Tuff old car.
Nice find. I would love to find one in that shape. Hopefully you will be able to get the Engine unstuck in the near future. Liked and shared. All my best.
These four door Falcons are the ones that mainly met their final fate with the crusher, but they're MY favorite, in oddball speak. Probably on account of my mother.
We owned a '64 four-door automatic way back when. They're actually a nicer car than they're given credit for. I'd have liked the opportunity to restore one like yours, but I'm 76 and my restoring days are behind me. I'll be following this one with interest. Good luck!
What an amazing piece! I have never seen anything like it. I can't imagine how much time went into restoring it, let alone your skill and talent. Bravo!
This takes me back 50 years to helping my Dad in his garage, he did plenty of engine swaps like this--and some really wild ones! Miss those days, miss him and Mom...
My husband had a 2 door Falcon, same blue color ,& similar body style when he got out of high school in 1973. That car was where i learned how to drive a 3 in The Tree 😊 was held on with a 10 penny nail😅 Brought back good old memories 👍🏽
Trust me guy's, there are hotrodders and car lovers here in New Zealand who would give their right testicle to find these cars, and restore them to either show room condition or daily runners like you do. So well done for breathing new life into these classic cars. Love your channel and look forward to the next video.
Sane people question my acquisition and ownership of so many Falcons. Nice job putting this old girl back on the road. My first driver was a '65 4 door not unlike this one.
I just got up. Made a coffee and sat down. Taking my morphine. So glad you out something online again. I can't do too much. Sleep, bed and couch it is. But I'm in good spirits. I will laugh at all this in 2 months time. Patient Rob, Cairns, Far North Queensland, Down Under
this is one of my favourit Fords as well the fairlane with the 289k eazy servicing or the 200ci, these 200s wher so dam eazy to service and work on ☺️ thanks for posting this! cheer's 🍻
I had that exact car in high school 😮 that 170 special and three speed will climb anywhere. I took her up many Jeep hill climbs and amazed those driving 4x4s. She’ll run no problems can’t kill that lawnmower lol
I love the model of that 1964 Ford Falcon 4-door sedan completely luxurious. Here's a motto, "Bring these old cars back on the streets again." Thank you. 😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍
@@BudgetBuildz It reminds me of when my dad was alive when we worked on our cars. Now, some of the best memories I have of him. I will never forget him ❤️.
I appreciate the fact that this video took place in a span of a few months and even tho you guys couldn’t make it run your guys where honest in the fact that you can’t save them all! Thanks guys for posting and always being up front !! Much love from Orange County California ✊🏻✊🏻 keep up the good work we are behind y’all
Mr. B. Here ! Good to see one more saved , I know it’s a 4 door , but look around and most vehicles today are 4 doors ! This will be a fun car ! Good luck ! 🧰🛠️⚙️🔧🔩🧰🛠️⚙️🔧🔩. 🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍
Another awesome will it run, fellas! Nice work! What I really like about your channel is your attention to detail. You not only found a great donor motor, but you also took the time to make it look really nice and clean with the new paint. Looking forward to the next installment where you detail it and fix the brakes.
When I was a boy scout they taught us to leave a campsite better than we found it. That Falcon is for sure going to be left way way better than when you found it
@@gispel7058 Scouting was a great thing... before they lost their way. I wish half of America would pull their collective heads out and get back to the principles we had in scouting - we'd be far better off for it and it would show immediately in every city & town nationwide. Here's a tip of the cap from one former scout to another. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum
@@MaxGiganteum hey Max....Eagle Scout here 1973. Philmont ulumni. Order of the Arrow. Be prepared my friend. Yeah scouting has been infiltrated by the usual suspects bent on destroying a great institution.
I was here wondering that you were going to put a v8 on it. But for sure keeping the 6cyl was the best for the little Falcon! Hope to see you saving a Studebaker some day.
Awesome job the black and the red head is awesome good match it would be pretty sweet to put a red pen stripe down the top of it but still very awesome
Back in 1979 I bought a 1969 Ford Falcon Futura 6 Cylinder 3 on the Tree with under dash A/C with 28,000 original miles. The car was a trade in from a Senior Lady who worked in our local natural gas office. Was a robin's egg blue as my mom called it I drove it 3 or 4 years and sold it my 64 year old self looks back on my 20 something self and just shake my head for getting rid of it. It had the original spare with the green on the whitewall and was totally immaculate. Her sister had a I think it was a 65 Dodge Dart that she still had when she passed away I tried to find out how to buy it but hit dead ends it was just as clean as that Falcon and had a small V8 with push button trans with factory A/C.
You can’t save everything. Be a nice car when it’s down. It’s great seeing you dad and you working so well together. The over head shots are a nice touch 👏👏
The first car I owned when I moved to the US in the late 1970s was a 1964 Ford Falcon. It looked like hell but it was a great car. It would always start no matter how cold the weather. I even used avgas in it during the oil crisis in 1979 without any problem. One drawback though, was that the steering wheel would get burning hot from the sun during the summer and freezing cold in winter.
Just as I was wondering if someone from Europe caught this fun episode & here You are @theconfessionsof_a! Hope You caught the 911 Targa Rebuild! From what looked like impossible soupy salvage to a stunner! Working with his father is another bonus! Cheers from Canada :)!
@@timothywachowicz8308 absolutely, I've followed this chanel for ages, I look forward to porche episodes. I also love the cars and the laid back approach. The big plus is a Son and Dad combo, how cool is that!
@@theconfessionsof_a Wonderful & a wonderful channel! The laid back projects are fun also like this Falcon, for sure! I started with the Targa about a year ago & enjoyed others since. Father & son together having fun is sublime! These 2 are such gentle & likeable souls as well! How cool is that is right! Thanks for taking a moment to satisfy my curiosity in sharing the goodness!
I really enjoy all of your videos, they are great to watch. I love the way you use methods that me myself are using. Nothing fancy, just straight down to business with basic tools like wire brushes and some chemicals to make wonders. Not like the overly complicated other tv-shows that is soda blasting and making stuff that no ordinary person could do in their garages. Not to mention the crazy budgets all those "super-restorers" have. This is downright genuine and so charming and fun to watch. Everytime you put on an new video it is like christmas eve for me! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Sweden!
While the original engine is a minor setback, having a backup that swaps right in will ensure that both Falcons will live on. I'll be looking forward to more on this rescue👍
TLC great old car, My dad bought a brand new 1960 when they arrived at Ford show room. Plain Jane as they come, but a wonderful car. Just the basics mam.
Woo hoo! Howdy howdy y'all! Hope everyone's been doing well and Michael, I hope your vacation was stellar! I know from your pics that it had to be! Holler at me when you get a minute or two please 💙🙏🏼
great video. Now I know that I have to look forwards to. I just got a 1964 4 door Falcon 40K miles all Original. Only thing missing is a bumper jack. Mine was last registered in 75. It's was in a barn for 49 years.
I have seen worse. It’s hard to kill those Ford straight 6 cylinders.Looks like the oil was not changed on regular basis. Glad you had that other engine. Sounds good. Thanks for sharing! 💯👍👊
Sorry 😔 also had to stop at the 1240 mark because I wanted to hear the old 170 run again. I had a 64' 4dr 170 3on the tree back in the later 70's at 16. Onward to the next. I hope the next channel Guy has better luck 🤞
Had 3 of this era fords, recently found one 68k miles, sold for $. The ford 6 in Australia went to a crossflow version in the 80s , could get a factory turbo,and ultimately the Barra.
Excellent video Budget Buildz (Mike :) ) also 200 nice motor sounds nice, Manual transmission 3 in tree to also fix up exhaust and plus brakes even electrical wireing up! Yes glad found a another motor too put in too ! Yes old fuel types of Lead fuel better than Ethonal type today we have today on lots stuff don't like it on Old School Technology and some New School Technology agree 100% !
It's a shame the original motor was too far gone. Lo and behold you have an engine that needs a home 👍 your engine bay and new motor look awesome. Keep up the great work and the cool videos ✌️🇺🇲
I had a 200 in my 78 Mercury Zephyr, and I was going to swap in a 5.0 that I had for it. I blew the head gasket on it by driving the car over 100mph too often, and ran out of money and patience with the car (I was also between jobs at the time too). It would have been interesting to see what I could have done with that engine if I kept the car, but I can get to experience that now through this video... It's like you put a big block 6-cylinder in the car, and I would imagine the car would be pretty quick with it... Another great, no-nonsense video as always guys!
1964 Ford Falcon was my 1st car 6 cyl. 3 on the tree like this one paid $895.00 for it in 1970 with about 80,000 miles. It always had a problem of overheating.

Put different motor
Vehicle cheap on g as

Nice find. I would love to find one in that shape. Hopefully you will be able to get the Engine unstuck in the near future. Liked and shared. All my best.
I really appreciate that you kept it a six cylinder car, so many people face the slightest difficulty and just force a V8 in.
How true! I've always liked the 6s
That is how real mechanics deal with revivals!
Sometimes we’ve gotta do what we gotta do! 😃
My very first car (in 1970) was a '64 Falcon, 170ci I6, three on the tree almost exactly like this. Mine was a two door, black instead of green.
I really dig the Ford Falcons: simple lines, L6, simple interior but all work well together! Beautiful car and nice job!
I totally agree. Beautiful little cars.
We have to agree, they’re so simple and classy! Thanks so much! 😃
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the support!! 😊

Not just in NZ... my cousin-in-law in Australia is going to drool over this Falcon revival!
@@kristoffermangila Heard that mate. Kiwi's and Aussie's love Falcons.

It's nice to see simple cars getting attention
Cool little car. its not always an easy save but glad to see it getting saved
Thanks! Sometimes they’ll put a whooping on you, that’s for sure 😅
What a beauty, we NEED to see a build series with a re vamp or even a v8 swap..!
Definitely more coming! 😃
Great little video, but wish it was a little longer. Cool old falcon.
Changing the engine was the better option. Can't wait for the next video ❤
this is one of my favourit Fords as well the fairlane with the 289k eazy servicing or the 200ci, these 200s wher so dam eazy to service and work on ☺️ thanks for posting this! cheer's 🍻
Cool, that '64 should run real nice w/that 200ci in her! Sweet!
That’s a shame that motor wouldn’t break free.
Great job guys 👍
It will, but proper motivation takes time.
I wish it would’ve spun free for us! If it was a bit better condition, we would’ve made it happen for sure. Thank you!! 😊

Nice video 📹 and workmanship it cleaned up nice !!! Try to get that engine unlocked 🔓 😎 machine cop operated
My dad had a very used '61 Falcon and the engine always runs bad, yours is a jewel!! Congrats!!
Always enjoy seeing your family working together!

Love the old falcons I’ve been a falcon man my whole life
I love the old Falcons from 1960 - 1971, both Aussie and US models.
That Falcon is even the correct color; Green. Good job on this rescue.
Great to see the Falcon fire up. Best thing to do to change the motor. Looking forward to the next one 👍
Remarkable and superlative enthusiasm. Noteworthy knowledge and all that jazz. That Falcon is gonna be sweet.

Missed you guys!!! So happy! You made my Tuesday ❤
I love Falcons as I had 2 1970 Mavricks with 200 CI engines. They are awesome. Waiting for the next phase guys!

Thanks so much! Can’t wait to share more 😊
Always liked the first generation falcons, from the plane Jane's to the Futuras and sprints. My brother had several.
