    Lightbulb 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.

    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!

    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.

    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 understandable

    Way to go! Fantastic deal! You just wait, that is a great collector and the old 200 straight sixs are great torque work horses!

    I would say ...Just gloating!
    At that price...the current owner should report a robbery.


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

It was from Florida also and the salt dew had rusted the top bad right under the roof drip rail .
