Someone we know is looking to get rid of some lawn art. I said I would check with you guys to see if it should go anywhere other than the jy. The claim is, it runs. May be more accurate to say ran when parked.

That looks like a project!  My son, Jack, has built a 1967 wagon for CAM-T and it's a hoot.  

So I'll just leave this here for ideas:  Build thread.

I hope someone takes on that project. Those old wagons are great. Any idea how it looks inside or underneath? Sitting in the dirt like that, the frame could just be crumbling away.

Where does it currently reside?

I see a ford version of swamp thing under that blue paint!

It's in a backyard in Seattle.

Why, oh why did you have to say Seattle? That's local...(I don't need a project...I don't need a project...I don't need a project) I'm gonna assume it's totally rotted and just walk away. (don't look back...don't look back)

The third gen (we nicknamed them "Forgotten Falcons") is built on the same chassis as the 66 Fairlane. It is a different car from the early Falcons which is arguably a plus. Wider engine bay accepts pretty much any V8 and they ride and handle better. You can bolt a Fairlane sheet metal front clip right onto that wagon. Wagons are popular now and that thing would certainly find a home. Body parts can be hard to come by so worst case it could be a parts car for someone desperately looking for wagon specific bits.

I'm admin of the Forgotten Falcons Facebook group. We also have a classified group under the same name.

Let 'em know about it, willya? The lowdown is that the owners' house is going on the market and this thing has to find a home posthaste.  Oh and Cadman, of *course* you need a project!

OK, how do I get my eyes on more photos? I checked the local craigslist but don't see anything.

Is the car actually in Seattle? You and I are both in Snohomish, is the car near there perhaps? :)

In reply to Jay_W :

Interested in your wagon. I'd like some more details.  I'm in coeurdalene, Idaho and can travel if it's not too far gone. Email me jeremy@jerracing.com pics and info
