Default Just picked up a 64 convertible

Hey Guys... just thought I'd search out a Falcon forum and this looks like a good place to put down some roots.

Recently, my father gave me 'the family's' 64 convertible. Unfortunately it was because my parents are getting a divorce and he won't have any room for it anymore. I wish it were under different circumstances, but I'm happy to give her a good home regardless.

He's had it since about 1994, 40k miles on the odo & zero rust. no heater (originally a FL car). I used to just wax the crap out of it before I could drive & when I finally got my license I had a little bender with it & had some work done to the rear end. The entire rear half (sheetmetal) is a 65 & we still have yet to put the chevrons back on, but it's overall in pretty good shape.

i kinda like the little 170, though i wish I knew my way around a carb.. I'm from the throttle body & sensor generation with my other toy, this is all new to me.

Well guys, nice to see the falcon has a following... Here's some pics:
