    Not yet. Still in negotiation. Hopefully, we can agree on a price. If not, I'll just have to keep looking.

    Personally, unless you specifically want a '60 - '63 Falcon wagon, I'd suggest looking for 2nd-gen wagon - '64 - '65. They're more 'modern' vehicles. Even the '65 has a big advantage over the '64 - Ford dropped the 2-speed Ford-O-Matic and made the 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic the regular 'automatic' offering across the board. The Cruise-O-Matic was available in some applications in '64. And don't forget the Comets.

    I've considered the '64-'65 models. I don't like the body style as much. But I will agree they are probably better cars. Comets are much harder to find.

    Try to find one that has 5 lug wheels instead of four. The benefits are enormous if you decide to make modifications or new wheels in the future.

    I agree. The 60-63 is a better looking car, with the 62/63 being the best IMO. 64-65 are fine, but I prefer the more rounded, symmetrical side sheet metal of the 60-63's over the ice-cream cone sheet metal of the 64/65's.
