that 65 must be a beast with a 351,4 speed, and 350 locker.
my 65 289 auto with 3.00 rear gear was dangerous enough. .

It's a darn blast honestly. The last time I rode in it I don't remember it being this fun lol.

I have most of the stuff for a new mill tho. 396" with a set of trick flow heads I have on the shelf after some work.

Oh man Aaron! Trying to steal my oldbird1965!! Man I miss that car, it was plenty fast with a 302 in it. Clifford is getting lower on the list but that's a great find and you'll have lots of fun with it.

Yes my father bought a new 1964 Falcon fast back (in Mexico Ford 200) 6 cylinder 2 doors and a new 1965 Ford 200 V8 four doors, Both very good cars. I had de opportunity to drive both of them. I liked the style of the fast back and the power of the V8.

BTW the car of my first marriage was a Falcon 1965

That is awesome Jose. I love the falcons and early rancheros very much. Someday I hope to find a ranchero to go with this.

It's been dead here lately.
i bought this 4 seater go kart a month ago, so far i like it, not a speed demon but can reach 28 mph with my two kids and wife not bad for a 150cc engine, and off roading in this thing is fun it does well in loose sand.
heres a pic of my son going thru the arrollos behind our house ( and dont worry I was driving just stoped to take a pic of him)
