hey
Me and Wes(falcon_man) was at costco yesterday getting a compressor and shop stuff and parked next to us was an awsome falcon.
the owner was having trouble putting his stuff in his car he was an older man in his late 70's so we help him out and told him he had a nice Falcon. Well it we started talking to him told him we had falcons we were restoring and told him about fordsix.com, he was shock there was a website about inline six motors, and falcons. well to make a long story short he told us he had 3 1967 ford falcons a sprint hardtop, a 2 dr sedan, and a futura, that he bought new and garaged, for his kids. and that he also had a bunch of new parts and advertisments. i went over to his place and seen the falcons i was shocked. This guy wasnt lyeing. he had 3 falcons all with the original motors tranny's with only 26 miles on them he had radio commercials of when ford was advertising the falcon, and even news papers ads from 1960 to 1970 of ford advertising the falcon. he had a couple of cylinder heads and a shed full of parts still in the original factory boxes. something i was'nt sure about though ishis cylinder heads he called them a cross tappered head but they hada removable intake. Wes had his lab top with him so we desided to show him the site and when we did he started kinda crying, he told us that he was glad to see that the falcon was still alive. This man is a true ford loving person, all this person wanted is just someone to talk to. Well it turned out that he had owned a dealership in San Jose California but during the depression he had to sell it cause he was not makeing any money, he son was drafted to veitnam and was killed, and his wife passed away a few years back he realy had no one left. Well i thought i would share my saturday with you all you never know who youll meet at the store. I am we are going to go visit him tommerow and see if we cant get a picture of that cylinder head.
