Should I get it
I found 1964 Falcon Wagon for sale locally , its a 2 door and he says it runs and drives. Has a 6 cylinder and looks solid, though I haven't heard it run yet.
Anyways he was asking $2500 for it, but now wants it gone, so I offered $600 and he said he would take $800 for it . I'm a chevy guy, but this seems like a good deal. Seems like it could have some potential
Opinions???

Take a gun w/you & shove it in his back so he feels better about selling it to you so cheaply.
I know I'd buy it & I'm a chevy guy also...joeDonate Blood,Plasma,Platelets & sign your DONORS CARD & SAVE a LIFE

Fantastic deal! You will kick yourself if you don't go out and get it at once. Great collector car, classic wagon, running for 800.00 It's a steal! You could turn around and sell it for quite a bit more on Ebay!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

yea, that's a steal at $800.. I paid $500 for my '67 4dr that needed brake work
the engine would be a 4 main 170 or 200 CI, still strong enough bottom end to tweak it up, or a '65 up 200 bolts up and has 7 mains.Last edited by Matt167; 06-14-2008 at 08:41 AM.

144-200 I6's are some of the easiest, quickest starting engines I'v worked on.. my '67 200 used to fire up by popping the key. after the rebuild ( for turbocharger and other go fast assessories ) It takes a rotation or 2, but it's got no choke now so it's understandableYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

Like others have stated...If gas was cheaper, you would have lost a deal.

Ha ripped off only paid $150 for mine had factory air and a mustang floor shift . 2 dr wagons are great . Now of course i bought mine back in 1982 . It was from Florida also and the salt dew had rusted the top bad right under the roof drip rail .

I do have a dumb question though, what weight of oil does this motor use??? 20w50???
I wanted to complain about this NZ slang business, but I see it was resolved before it mattered. LOL..
