It looks like it grew there.

Fords do grow on trees

Yesterday morning on the way to the eye doc, I followed a Falcon down the
road. Old couple in it. Probably bought new. Nice condition.

I'd love to have me a '63 Falcon two door body and frame. I've got a
completely rebuilt 289 Hi-Po I'd love to drop in it.

They don't rust out there, that's for sure. Friend's father had a 65
Beetle he bought brand new, he kept that thing in showroom condition,
last time I saw it was 5 or so years ago, he had just had the hubcaps
and other chrome pieces restored! Original paint. Pea green....

It would be as big a death trap as the original V-8 Mustang.
The same was true of most of the 60s "muscle cars".
They were fast but they handled like a grocery cart full of concrete.

Oh, good god.....

They real POS. NCR had a fleet of Falcon station wagons in 1963. Edsel
Ford was on our BOD. Paint came off, had to add outside oilers to the
lifters. Same problem and fix my 1956 Ford Convertible had. A double 90
degree oil passage via the head gasket, that plugged with the least amount
of deposit. Plus very poor brakes. Also, sense we were in Calif, a lot of
the cars previously sold here did not have heaters. Luckily the government
required defrosters in 1963 and therefore the Falcon had a heater.

Wow... 63... memories of being on a school bus in like third grade and
seeing my mom and her 63 falcon bloody and smashed up in an
intersection... They wouldn't let me off the bus, I went nuts, it got
bad....

IIRC, the original Mustangs were built on the Falcon frame/chassis.

Uh, depending on which engine you are talking about. But doesn't matter,
the 56 had an entirely different generation of six than the 63 Falcon
had. By that time, it was the third generation, except for mostly
trucks, and third generation sixes were some of the best ever built.
They were the 144/170/200/250 C.I. engines.
