    $27900, you gave that away. There is 40k in that car easy. An FE built like that costs a lot! Someone spent a lot of money with Crites, hood, bumpers, old school traction/ lift bars, long tube headers, probably motor mounts too. A100 Dodge van seats are hard to find and not cheap, then recover. $2500 for the trans and converter at least, and on and on. Well worth the price. I don't especially like green, but if I had bought it, the green would have stayed. Great job Nick!

    Bumpers are painted because they’re fiberglass. It may seem like it shifts a little late because of the stall converter. Both things and the chips are common on race cars that aren’t trailer queen’s. Always loved 64-65 Falcon’s but hard to buy so I have a 63 Falcon also super cool. Nice car and video. 🏁🇺🇸

    The green is interesting but tasteful. The pitting is perfect! I believe two A/FX Falcons were produced and one was restored locally. My dad was involved with the restoration so as a kid I had the pleasure of taking pictures of a real A/FX Falcon. If this Falcon was maroon it would be dangerously close to a real factory racer! Nice car!

      @@joen5332 I'm wondering how you figured that out Joe. There's no shots of the lower end so no way to see if it has cross bolts. It sure looks like an FE engine. Could be a 390 406 or 401 I suppose. At least we know a 427 would cost as much as the entire car right? Lol Anywhoo love the BB FEs. Sound like an 8 cyl Harley on brimstone from hell.

    • @MrSloika
      @MrSloika 3 роки тому +1

      I didn't think it was possible to get an FE into a 64 Falcon without cutting the shock towers? I believe the 65-66 Mustang used the same engine bay dimensions as the 64-65 Falcon. There was no big block option on the first two model years of the Mustang because the FE wouldn't fit. From 67 on the Mustang shared the same engine bay specs as the Fairlane/Torino. Those cars could all be optioned with a big block.

    • @JeromyBranch
      @JeromyBranch 3 роки тому +1

      The FE big blocks measure smaller than the GM or Mopar big blocks. A 427 block is about half way between a 289 block and a GM big block. But it looks like the shock towers were modified anyway. One thing you can't hide is the location of the distributor. The water pump is barely visible in the video too. It's an FE big block. Looks just like any 390 I've owned. The only proof I can tell that it might not be an actual side oiler is the price. Btw back in the day hot rodders and racers crammed 427s into every Ford made...including the Pinto. Although the 429 was a more popular choice by then.
