Auctions America Features 65 Falcon Wagon with a Dream
Ford Falcon 2 Door Wagon – Can you see the vision?
See it? No? Fine, I’ll help with your future hot rod vision…
What do you see? Junky old Falcon wagon? That’s it? Notice it’s a 2 door? That’s much more desirable to most… what else? It’s very straight, I can’t see any cancerous rust from 6 feet away. Anything else? Yea! It’s complete! From this pic, this would be a car I’d like to see and know more about.
And you can!
This low mileage dreamer is for sale Sept 21-22 by Auctions America at their Bennett Collection Auction in Rollinsford, NH.
I imagine that we’ve still got a few non-believers. Fine… take this!
Same car, I think it’s even the same color. The only difference (you can’t see) is this one’s an original V8 car. But look how plain this baby is! No side trim at all, just like the un-optioned beauty in the first picture. I wrote about this Falcon and called the story: When Bone Stock Marries Plain Jane – it’s a completely, and near perfectly, restored 1965 Falcon wagon done by a chrome restoration specialist named Norm.
Yea, I’m into Falcons and especially Falcon wagons. To see how much, follow along with the build of my own 1963 Falcon wagon project.
Still can’t see it? Well maybe you don’t want to. The cool thing about the Bennett Collection Auction is the projects available! Maybe you’re looking for something more exotic? How about a Lamborghini project? Or how about an old Maserati project? Or even a 1978 Ferarri 308 GTS Project?
Only at MyRideisMe.com can you find a 65 Falcon wagon in a story with Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari.

Although this cute Falcon appears to be an original paint car, it could be a perfect candidate for a simple color change… something less utilitarian to bring it alive.
It would be fun to see some Photoshop versions. What would happen if the top only was painted white with late 50’s style porch paint tones to the bottom? (i.e. Desoto color scheme)
Two door wagons are cool. End of story.
I bought a 1965 two door Falcon Wagon in excellent condition with a 289 in this Champagne finish for $200 at about 1984. I drove it from Santa Cruz all over Norther Ca. The paint was faded and I was in school. I primered it Gray and painted the wheels red. The three speed was relocated from the column to the floor. The No-Chrome Kit was striking and did not detract from the Jet Style body design. During the time I had it I did $200 in repairs.
