Greetings from the UK Kiwi, it's great to see this gem! Ford UK took a lot of styling ideas from the likes of the Falcon. The lines are very mk 4 Zephyr and Zodiac . It's great to see you out on the road driving and not showing us a horror story on the ramp!😊😊😊😊
This is the exact type of car I want. A regular car from the 60's that would've been seen everywhere. No thrills, no racing stripes. Just a good, honest car
She's a beauty! Its nice to see what it is supposed to look like. I know everyone wants a hot rod but its nice to see a pretty accurate antique. Good stuff 👍
I got my late fathers 65 hardtop. Was garaged almost 40 years. Just needed a new carburetor and battery, and she runs again🙂 Still needs a lot of TLC, hope to have it back on the road soon.
What a nice little car - and I mean little. MANY years ago, my girlfriend's grandmother had a '68, and I fixed something on it. I'm 6' 3", and I could barely get into it to test drive it. I love survivors like this! ps: I really enjoyed the "Large Marge' series. I've driven some wrecks long distances, but never one that bad or that old!
The Falcon was considered a 'big' family car in Australia, US family sedans, like the Galaxie were more a top end luxury unit, for politicians and the affluent. Slightly different culture here.
@@TAVOAu We had 3 Galaxies - and we were not rich or politicians! You are right, different expectations in different places. My problem with the Falcon back then was height. Now it's girth as well...
Another Aussie here I had an XY Falcon Ute with the 250 6 all done up Loved that Ute Wish I still had it Love this Falcon too Cheers from Tasmania Australia
In 1960, when the Falcon was first produced, Robert McNamara was the President of Ford, and he was a real penny-pincher. Some engineer told him they could save a small amount per engine by casting the intake manifold on the Falcon 144 6-cylinder engine integral with the head, and McNamara went for it. The result was that the Falcon head breathed poorly, and the engine didn't produce much power, until they re-designed it in 1967, I think it was. After that the engine was a much better performer.
My first Maverick was a '70 200, W/auto. What a happy little engine! I had a V8 Grabber and a few 240 six cars. The 240's were dogs, and had way more vibration and didn't like to rev. They share parts with the 300. Loved that little 200!
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 Here, in the US, we had a bunch of guys drag racing the 200. There was a small aftermarket that made heads and headers and such. We can thank the mustang for that.
4 door anything was always a purpose built car and no … not really what I’d wanna cruise in but they sure are cool in their own right ! And it’s still an appreciated car when I see one still around for sure ! Take care
I was a Ford dealer apprentice circa 72-75 in NZ. Worked on a lot of these great cars. Interestingly I saw the inside of more Holden 6 cyl motors during that time… the Ford 6cyl are super reliable engines.
I own a 1967 Ford Falcon sports coup, in the family since 68 California car, I haven't done much with it in a few years ( unmolested) I'm thinking maybe it's time to let someone else give it some love...
Very nice Ford. An old radiator guy said I'm better off with the copper and brass units because they last longer. He said when aluminum goes up in price, they won't be any cheaper than the other units and by then you won't find a core because everyone switched over to aluminun.
They cool better too but still more expensive than aluminum. It's aluminum radiators that have put the radiator shops out of business. Progress they say......
My first Falcon was a 1969 Xw Aussie Falcon . It came out with a 188 cubic inch 6 cylinder manual gearbox . I recall the fan blade snapping off and I thought the motor was done as it had a hell of a vibration . So I bought a reconditioned 221 cubic inch 6 cylinder. And what a car that transformed into . Due to the low gearing it seemed better than holden v8 253 ci, and also the later model 250 cubic inch 6 cylinder falcon which seemed lazy.
Beautiful ❤️ car . Gotta love a ford 6 cylinder their such a underrated engine.Speaking from experience of many years of owning 6 cylinder falcons of the Australian variety.
@@nastybastardatlive Mr. B. Here ! 🍎✏️📓🎓. It would be a teaching vehicle and how too do the right thing not the wrong thing ! I hope that makes it clear .
Very cool, neat little car. I once had a 1970 Falcon 2 door post. It was pretty much a 1969 with a 1970 serial number. From what I was told, Ford couldn't build that car as of January 1, 1970, as federal regulations required a number of updates (mainly the locking steering column). So the Falcon (referred to as a 70-1/2) was based on the Torino/Fairlane body style from that point forward. Nice to see one left stock for a change.
Very nice Futura. Much like the one my aunt bought new in 1969 only it was "Wimbledon White" and had the 302 V8. What a rocket that car was. And yet easy on gas getting up in the high 20s on highway. It rusted out pretty bad on our salty winter streets.
my mom had a falcon sprint before her and my dad got married..we had a mercury comet in white with a black top growing up as a kid.,.and a 70s country squire wagon too..probably why idrive a 2011 ford crown victoria XD
My grandmother drove a 1969 2dr hardtop. Totaled it three times. First two, she had it repaired. Last time, her kids took her driver's license. When I was 16 and bulletproof, her driving scared me to death.
Nicely done. I'm just about to pull the trigger on my first project car in many years. Just as I started make a note of the radiator company I remembered…the car I’m looking at is a Corvair. Doh!

My dad drove a dump truck hauling asphalt in the 70’s. He had a knack for finding gems like this for his daily drive to work cars. This Falcon is a perfect example of what he would buy. He once picked up an early 60’s Olds F85 for my sister to be able to haul the kids in reliably and safely around town. But it wasn’t “cool enough” for her husband and he sold it. Kinda pissed my dad off.
Have a 1960s 200 Falcon motor in my classic 1963 hamilton jet boat.... I agree great motor.... (and I'm a Holden man😂) the next boat I'm restoring a 1960 Hamilton jet has a mk1 Zephyr motor... Do love the exhaust note of a Zephyr... Such a nice crackle...
Great classics, my friend has a 2door 67, great car, getting a few of the 2 doors here in Australia, as they are cheaper than importing a mustang, great stuff kiwi.
My first car was a '66 Falcon. 170 c.i. straight six, three-onna-tree manual crashbox (Ford three-speed manuals didn't have synchros on first gear), no A/C, and an AM radio. I could do my own tune-ups and replace most stuff if it broke. Simple as a tree stump. Kinda miss it, really...
those worm clamps on the r adiator hoses should be tightend over a little bit of time, they always work lose, always gatta retighten em on coolant hoses

Mid to late 80s in New Zealand... u could pick one of these up for $500 - 800 kiwi dollars... awesome surf wagons... with the bench front seat we could fit at least 10 of us in a 4 door and maybe 12-13 in a wagon coming home from hall parties
I love seeing the black carpet behind the front window. Best way to not have reflection from the sun. I do the same in my cars. Black plastic just doesn't do the job.
I like to flush the cooling system with Thermo Cure. It works good and there can be a lot of crud in cooling systems. I also like to flush the block through the drain plugs.

G'day Kiwi, So good of you fitting a copper radiator love the rear tail light compared to the XY, I prefer the XW tail lights. I had a copper 3 core radiator fitted in to my VG Valiant with a 245 Hemi. Last radiator my dad build after owner of his own radiator shop in Kensington, Melbourne. Worked on plenty of radiators myself. Cheers Louis Kats 👍
Beautiful, and deserving of the extra cost factory replacement type radiator. The trunk really tells the story, you know she’s been owned by someone who really cared when it looks that good, and it’s still original.
That last generation of U.S. Falcons were actually my favorite. They had become more substantial cars by then, but were still relatively compact for that era. Could seat six in a pinch. Overall, a reasonably-priced daily-driver car good for a small family.
I remember these oh so well! They were everywhere. As they aged I could almost tell you whose Falcon was coming up behind my by the song of the mighty 200 and the squeak of the upper control arm bushings lol. I repaired many of them!
Wow, I did not realise that there was a 4 dr version in the U S of the falcon. I had only ever seen pics and imports to Aus of the 2 dr. A gorgeous car!
Ended the falcon and brought in the maverick. Why, and the 200 inline is what I had in my comet 2 door hardtop. Got me around 20 mpg. My uncles Falcon stationwGon I plan on getting has an in- line but I don't now if it's a 200.
