I would go for it. Hopefully the hard stuff like trim/etc is still on it, that stuff might be hard to come by. I always liked that body style, its a bit plain, but then you never see them fixed up so a nice one would stand out more than a show quality mustang! That pic is really cool!
: Sorry this is a bit off topic, but...
: My brother and I were combing junkyards this past week and we found a 1969 Falcon Futura Sports Coupe. It has no engine or trans, but the rest of the car is spotless and complete. Guy wants $150.00 for it ($200 by the time he tows it to my brother's house). My bro is a big GM guy, but doesn't have a project right now & I would like to see him get into a nice Ford (a real car, for once). Plus, with me building a 71 Grabber, the cars are similar enough that we can pool resources (and strike up a friendly competition of sorts).
: So I guess I am just wanting opinions regarding the project-worthiness of Falcons, and whether that model is one that would be worth the time and effort. Any and all opinions are appreciated.
: P.S. The pic is just of a similar falcon that I found on the net. I think it makes a pretty cool ride, so help me convince my brother to buy it, will ya!
