I have my eye on a 61 Falcon with a 140 ci six engine. Appears to be completely original and in excellent condition. I am not really a hotrodder, but I know a great many of you fellows are Falcon drivers.
We are looking at $2-3k range I think, maybe a tad more. I would not intend to change the engine, especially since the rest of the car is original. I would like to drive it frequently though, perhaps daily when the weather is nice.
What are the problems with 61 falcons and 140 ci engines? Anything I should be particularly wary of? Are there many clean rust free cars out there? Maybe I should wait for one with a tad larger engine?
Sorry to be so inquisitive, but I have only about 2 days. Its on eBay, search for falcon and you'll find her.
Please don't move me to the falcon forum -- I am afraid that there will not be enough traffic to help over there. Thanks!!!!!
