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.
Father and son. I hope you both know how blessed you are to have each other ❤
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.
Love it!
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? 😊
Just what i needed to cheer my day. Love from Portugal 🇵🇹😉
🤗🤗
He have character, I love it and I love the fact you give her back to life. That's great !
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
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 😊
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.😂
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
0:15 ohhh, a nice and rare french car : renault 4cv in the background ! 🥰
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.
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!
Great to see the smile on your dad's face 😊😊😊😊
Love the restoration
Yes a new video 😀 I love when i see a notfication from Budget Buildz 👍
I really hope you enjoy!! 😊
@@BudgetBuildz Always 😀
Enjoyed this video a lot. Old Fords never die.
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!
Wagon's with roof luggage rack,❤❤❤. This falcon deserves more love. Thank you!
I could binge watch this. Can't wait to see what they do with it next
Another classic saved from the crusher, well done!
That sound!! I love it. Please keep it up a dont change!
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.
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 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 👍🤔😆
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.
I love watching all the problem solving ingenuity!
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.
I’d like to see you guys restore that original aft market A/C!!!
I've been following you many years now. along with Dylan (Mcool). Both of you are " the gentlemen" in restorations. Greetings from Christmas Island.
I love your channel! I watch your content before Vice Grip Garage, and Junkyard Digs. Thanks for your hard work.
Glad you got it running,
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.
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.
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.
Love it! Old wagons are so cool
That was Awesome show, dude***👌
You guys are amazing. Y’all make simpletons like me get out and work on stuff just for the love of it.
Really enjoying this build - bringing a simple low value car back to life is no less interesting than something sophisticated and valuable. Also loving the RV build!!
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.
Pretty cool! Im really liking the GMC motor home progress and those diesel VWs you guys work on. They're just so cool!! Keep em' coming fellas.
Excellent video Budget Buildz Mike :) ,dad of yours , yes that wagon is jem also get brakes fix up plus exhaust to and suspension too plus did put engine belt on to ?? ! I did see put one one ! Happy Thanksgiving Holiday this week too you all in USA 🇺🇸!
Nice running and sounding 6 cylinder engine 😋
It's always great to see you guys bring forgotten cars back to life. Keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
Mom & Dad had a ‘64, the year I was born, really great ol’ cars…great restoration as always guys! Your dad’s Mugsy imitation is hilarious 😆 Might look around for a used manual transmission if you can get an inexpensive one, not sure how the external cooler would work. Good luck moving forward, peace ✌️
I think the old wagon is a keeper. The patina is great
My wife and I dated in a rusty 2-door 62 falcon. The wipers didn't work until you hit the gas.Awesome.
Just found your Chanel and subscribed straight away, you guys are awesome love your passion for reviving these old forgotten gems, ......... Much respect from the UK 👍👍
I love this one! Gotta fix the old wagons!
Reminds me of the 1960 Frontenac wagon my dad had when I was a young lad. Great little wagon. Yes, would love to see more of this Falcon.
I’m impressed with how it turned out! It is a great petina! Great job guy’s! Looking forward to seeing more updates!👌😎👍
Can't believe how much I like that wagon! Wow! Can't wait to see it cleaned up. Get that a/c working!
All your builds / rescues are fun to watch and i love wagons. Watching the wash and transformation was incredible. Lokking forward to more of this little gem. Thanks for the video. 👍👍✌️
An absolute gem. I'll drive it anywhere.😊❤
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.
Love it! That is a awesome wagon.
I have enjoyed your videos this year! You and your dad are killing it! Todd D.
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
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!!
Definitely like seeing old cars like this being revived
Rebuilt one of these back in the 70's. Put in a 4 speed and drove it across Texas.
This car is going to be amazing. I love this lil wagon.
Reminds me of my childhood. My dad drove a Ford Ranchero with 3 tree manual transmission til he passed in 03. Brother in high-school 80s early 90s drove a Ford falcon. Thanks for memory lane
There is not a better way to imporove any car than to give it a good bath, inside and out!❤ Theres a lot of potential under all that crud!😊
Excellent mechanical work!!!! I am amazed! Greetings from Argentina!
It's fantastic to see the cute little Falcon driving again after being abandoned and forgotten for so long. You guys are amazing. Probably the only major thing I would have done differently is, I would have cleaned the engine before starting to work on it. Clean makes the job so much easier. I hope to see more videos where that little car get fixed into solid dependable condition if not totally restored and NOT modified or customized. Good luck!
My dad had a 1962 white Ford Falcon when we were growing up in the 60's! The 4 door sedan version. It's fun watching you guys bring one back to life!!! Love your channel - been quietly watching for a long time. Just love what you do! (Owner of a 1950 Ford F1 Restomod truck). Ben D. (Austin TX)
The Sound is great !!! Nice running old Lady !!
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.
Love it! Great patina! In my experience sometimes the old coils, and condensers, are ok while cold but start failing when they heat up.
Looks like theres a bit of play in that front end!
That car had a lot more paint left than I originally thought it did. It cleaned up a lot better than I expected. You are correct. The brakes are going to be a major issue on this car. They are unobtainium. You may end up having to do some type of conversion on it. It is worth it though. I love stuff like this, especially when you literally pull it out of the woods like this. Good luck on the brakes. It runs really well, considering the condition it was in and the amount of time it sat. You got lucky there.
Rock Auto appear to stock all '61 year drums, shoes, wheel cylinders etc, so why would there be a problem with parts?
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
Nice work looking good 👍😊
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. 😂😂
Nice to see this Falcon back on the road
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.
I absolutely love 1960-1965 Ford Falcons and this wagon is a classic! Well done to get her runnin' and rollin' again gents. That will be an awesome cruiser once you get the interior back in a drivable condition. Keep going, we want to see the rest of this resto!
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 😮
It's possible the vacuum line goes to the wipers. I had a falcon wagon like that and with the wipers on as you give the motor more throttle the wipers would go slower. It was strange. Great little wagon tho
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
Boy sleeperdude would be all over this
Nice fine
Love the wagons
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
Great job on this old girl! Would like to see more of her and maybe the 54 Plymouth!😊
You tease me over and over with the Merc SL, I must know details! Falcon sweeeeet!
Love the positive vibe of your videos, keep it up
Again guys, fantastic stuff !! My dad had one just like this - Wagon, in white - 1963 here in Australia. Love your work. Fletch - Classic Restos TV 👍
I love seeing you guys bringing these old gals back. I had a early 60s powder blue Falcoln wagon but with the 144 2 speed auto. Loved that car - wish I could find one that I could afford today.
you guys make the most fun vids ever, love this wagon and your RV!
Love your channel and the whole approach you have in bringing all these vehicles back.
Great job guys. Always fun watching your videos. Great to see the oldies back on the road.
I live in Georgia and as I can best recall my Dad had one of these and the color was a very light green. This would have been in the late 60's or early 70's when he had his. On another note I'd like to say that you all have good taste in music. Silent Partner is a good band. They have a couple of other songs that I like quite a bit and that would be "Swamp Stomp" and "Accidents Will Happen". One final item is I remembered this car is equipped with a generator. Whenever the generator or voltage regulator is replaced the generator MUST BE POLARIZED or there is risk of damage to the electrical system.
Love it, I'd cruise with it exactly like it is.old school!
Great job! We had a 64 2-door wagon as a play car when I was a kid
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.
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.
Really enjoying this process and your attention to detail which is to be commended. Looking forward to the next installment. Brakes, floor pan, exhaust, lights?!
Red rims will set it off! Awesome job guys. I love those 60's model Fords. Lo
My brother had a 62 Falcon wagon with the 6 cylinder and I loved driving it but it was gutless.I drove it with the pedal to the floor almost all the time.
I LOVE early 60s Falcons...really enjoyed it....more please!!
Thats pretty cool, I had a Falcon station wagon similar to that but it had a 3 speed manual transmission. I didnt have it long, I bought it not running, got it to run, replaced the clutch and sold it for a god profit. That was back around 1982. For cheap transportation, they were great cars.
