If you are a Ford nut or just know your Ford history, you know the Falcon was one of the brand’s most significant models. Ironically, it is also one of their most under-appreciated classics. The Falcon has gone mostly unnoticed, as it’s flashier brother the Mustang is far more desirable. After seeing some racing success with the Falcon, Ford decided they should strap a sportier body onto the affordable Falcon chassis, which is how the Pony car was born. While the Mustang became an instant hit and went on to become an American icon, the Falcon was left in the dust to be forgotten. If you ask me, it’s about time the Falcon gets the recognition it deserves. This 1963 Falcon needs a new home and lots of work before it will be ready to be in the spotlight. Find it here on eBay in Port Saint Lucie, Florida with a $1,500 BIN. Thanks to Jim S for this tip!

Falcon values have been climbing over the past few years, which probably has something to do with the ever increasing value of Mustangs. But, base model 6 cylinder cars like this one can still be had quite reasonably and even V8 cars are relatively affordable. Their affordability puts this particular car in a difficult situation, as it is being offered fairly cheaply, but to be a really good buy it is going to need to be a bit cheaper. The seller claims it will run and drive, but given the rust and overall condition it really needs to be a good driver to justify the asking price.

The Falcon may not have received the same attention that the Mustang did, but it was actually quite popular when new. They were offered in a wide range of body styles, including coupe, sedan, and even a station wagon. Personally, the ’63 is my favorite year especially when its in Sprint trim. If this were one of the coveted Falcon Sprints, there would be lot of people interested in giving it a new home. Sadly, I’m not sure if anyone will tackle this base model. On the upside the interior looks complete and in surprisingly good condition, so maybe someone will snatch it up just for parts?

I’m glad the owner has decided to let this car go to a new home, I just wish they had done so sooner. It sounds like a pending move is forcing the sell, so perhaps they are open to offers. As long as the rust isn’t too extensive and the seller is willing to come down a bit, this could make for a fun project. As long as the rust isn’t structural, I would focus on getting her running and just enjoy as is. So would you tackle this rusty Falcon or is it too far gone?
