Ellie's joy and enthusiasm is a true joy to see. This will be a fun journey.
You are like a little kid in a candy store talking about your new car. I love it.
NICE Pic . My first car was a 1967 Ford Falcon . I some what restored it before I became a mechanic . Bought it in 1982 sold in 1984 loved the wing windows.
You are just too cute, love your Falcon, have fun and be safe! That Falcon is in pretty good shape actually.
Soooo 60’s. Glad you think Falcons are cool!! I love seeing your reactions to some of the quirks that were common back then (ash tray, passenger mirror, crank windows). I had a ‘67 Mercury 4-door Comet years ago which had many of the same features. It’s amazing to see how mach cars have changed over the years. Thanks for posting
I am enjoying your videos, even though RUclips didn't give them to me in order. I like your enthusiasm. My first car was a 63 Falcon Futura convertible. In the summer after I graduated high school my friend and I rebuilt the engine. My second car was a 68 Falcon. You may have already done this, but you can get key blanks that match the originals and you can have them made into an extra set of keys. I always carried an extra trunk and house key in my wallet. And I hid an extra ignition key in the trunk. I did this in case I accidentally locked my keys in the trunk so I could retrieve them. It never happened. The extra ignition key hidden in the trunk was in case I left my keys in the ignition switch and locked the door I could get the extra key out of the trunk to unlock the doors with. My system worked well for me because being a guy I always kept my wallet in my pocket. Doesn't quite work as well for a lady that could lock her purse in the car. Good luck and enjoy your Falcon.
I had a 1965 Falcon from 2005 to 2014 as my everyday car. Was a great car. Not fast or agile but reliable and economical.
Her enthusiasm and appreciation for the details is infectious. I love watching her gush about the vent wings - that, too, was a favorite feature of mine from that era.
Keep that six, darlin! Rebuild it if you have to, but keep it and keep up on the maintenance. If you take care of it, it will outlive all of us.
Amazing video! Your enthusiasm in explaining things makes for a unique and exceptional storytelling style. On another note, your Falcon (Carl) was very lucky to find an owner who loves him so much. Success!!!
AutoRestomod brought me here. I am reminded of when/why I got excited about my "new" daily driver, years ago.. Thank you, Ellie. 👍🇺🇸❤
Thank YOU!
Very cool to see a youngster luv'n an old '65. You've probably seen mine by now. Mine was born in basically the same configuration. I think the only thing we have in common now is the keys, LOL.
Nice video. I see your excitement on your Falcon restoration. Will be looking at your other video's. It won't be hard to find parts to refurbish. Have fun!
Thank you!
Overall condition for a classic from the rustbelt isnt too bad, good tour of it, do love that hood ornament as well
just discovered your channel and i'm so happy to see your enthusiasm! many, many years ago i bought my first car at 15. awesome stuff!
I know i'm a little behind , but great project car. Love it . And that 6 cylinder engine is bullet proof.
good to know. just got one! hahahahahah
Great Job Ellie!!!
Luv the Falcon's & Fairlane's.
Grew up with my dad having a 64 Fairlane.

Keep inspiring your generation!
Nice car, we had a same one in my family but color red and stick shift , i'll follow this restoration
I remember my first car 1967 Buick special 225 slant 6 👍 I was 16teen also…i then found my 1972 chevelle chevelle 😎 at 17teen
I've got a 68 Falcon that I drive regularly when I can't ride my bicycle or walk. I'm the second owner, I picked it up in 1984. It's got over 130,000 miles on it, the engine has never been rebuilt and it still runs well. I've replaced some parts on it, the usual suspects, so it is a reliable runner. I think you'll have good luck with yours, too. Have fun.
Your enthusiasm is awesome and inspiring!!
I have the exact same kind of car...1965 Ford Falcon Futura 4-door. Mine has the same reverse lights too.
These cars look great in the 4 door model!!
I'm doing a 302 v-8 conversion.
Thank you! That's so cool! Good luck with your project!!
Thanks for sharing your new to you car. I am excited about this project for you. Its in really good condition for the year and where it came from.
100% agree with the name looking forward to seeing the make over video's
Thank you! I'm excited to show you what I've been up to!
Wish you all good luck Thankyou for video
I love your enthusiasm!!
Your car is so cool
Great video! Looking forward to future video and following along with your restoration.
Thanks for watching!
A lot of cars have lighters similar to that even in to the 2000s
some cars still don't have passenger side mirrors, most did by the 90s though
i found it funny when she mentioned only one side mirror. ive got a couple of these falcons and my base model never even came with any side mirror
I know, right?! I thought it was amazing when I learned that side view mirrors were a dealer add-on. That some might not have them at all, like yours, and that some could even be installed in different places by the dealers. Some of the Falcon guys we've met said that some dealers would install them on the fenders instead of the doors.
@@ElliesGarage yep the one ive got without the mirror is just my parts car. my main one is a futura with the mirror like yours. ive got it on my RUclips channel here
Same way my '61 Falcon was,by the time I was of driving age I had installed a pair from a '60's era Plymouth then later my grandma bought me new ones
How does this channel not have more subs??
Thanks so much! We're trying--building one of these channels is definitely hard, but viewers like you make it totally worth it!!
Actually, the driver's side exterior rear view mirror was (federally) required, and the passenger side mirror was typically an option on entry level cars like the Falcon in 1965. Some individual states may have required two exterior rear view mirrors however.
Even in to the 90s some cars don't have a passenger side mirror
The first thing you should do is get a spare set of keys made. I found a set of original style key blanks on ebay several years back or you could just get regular keys for spares.I get nervous having only one set of keys.
Me too, Mr. Poole. I'm putting that on my list because it's stressing me out! Thanks again for watching!
There are some videos on steering wheel restoration, to fix all the cracks
We actually got a kit in from Eastwood that we'll be using in a future video. www.eastwood.com/master-steering-wheel-repair-kit-w-instruc.html
Hey, enjoying your falcon story! I completely restored my grandfathers 61 falcon, I mean every single bolt!...with a little help from a lot of different people - especially a few in the falcon club. If there’s anything I can do to help with your restoration just let me know. Also, you can read my thread here: www.rainierfalcons.com/forums/showthread.php?2657-Saving-Granddad-s-Falcon/page41. You guys will for sure find that the most valuable part of your project is the time working together and all the great people you will meet. You are lucky to have each other- wishing you the best!
what's your plan,keeping it original or customize ?
Oh, first thing the club told me...Safety first! Does it have a single master cylinder for the brakes or a double? If single, you might consider the upgrade to double.
Yes, definitely. We've been thinking safety too, so we are upgrading the brakes with a dual bowl master cylinder along with a power booster, and we're also going to be adding 3-point seat belts. Thanks for watching and for the encouragement!!
@@ElliesGarage very smart
@@ElliesGarage The dual master cylinder became standard issue starting with the '67 models. The '67 Falcon is slightly different but that master cylinder should bolt up and work. Don't forget to snag the prop valve from the donor car.
@@ElliesGarage I've been slowly working through your older videos. I know this was a long time ago but one safety item to think of (if you haven't already) is a good fire extinguisher. If something were to happen it would feel terrible sitting there on the side of the road with no way to fight it. Fingers crossed it never happens but it's always good to plan for the worst.
@@xaenon Worked on my 1966 ford F250, ended up replacing the single bowl one(was going bad) with one from a 1967 ford.
Whats that black bag on the firewall driver side
I had wondered that, too. It's the windshield washer fluid. Isn't that cool?!
@@ElliesGarage
So that means that it has a foot pump by ur brake pedal like the hi low beam switch?
Yep! It doesn't spray right now, but we'll be figuring out what's wrong soon.
Anyone need Ford falcon parts I have one scraping it is a RHD
