Oh wow! That could be the coolest funeral car ever.
And I'm not kidding. I'd let my mortal remains rock that thing all the way to the city dump.

The ideal do-it-all vehicle? One that can be used as both a parts runner and a tow vehicle? If you are Shelby American, circa 1963, the answer is simple: Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery.
Seeing as the original resides in the Shelby American Collection, however, this replica could be the next best thing.
While the Falcon used by Shelby and originally owned by Peter Brock is powered by a 289 HiPo engine, this replica features a Paxton supercharged 302 V8 backed by a Tremec five-speed manual gearbox.
Additionally, the Falcon is signed by Peter Brock and features a Ford 9-inch rear end plus a front suspension setup that has been modified to GT350 specs.
Find this 1962 Ford Falcon Panel Wagon for auction at Mecum on January 17, 2025.

In reply to Coniglio Rampante :
I didn't even consider that.
I don't think you'd be the only one who'd want a ride in it to their eternal resting place.

This gives a whole new meaning to Found On Road Dead.
Torque Thrust wheels, radiused rear wheel arches, Wimbledon white (I'm guessing) exterior with racing stripes, supercharged SBF, just WOW!!! I'm digging the vibe of this thing and I can see myself driving around on Saturday morning to the local coffee house and then to Home Depot for an errand. Suits me :)
That's really cool.
Really awesome, but I'm not sure that I'd trust it with much towing.
