Ford falcon club wagon

[lowbudget50]

We picked up our next shop project today. 1967 Ford Falcon Club Wagon. Super clean van oh, the guy who owns it now bought it in 1968 from the original owner who bought it in 67 which happened to be his father-in-law. He is driven this van all across the country, so we are giving it as a lease on life. It will be getting a new 2.3 l EcoBoost out of a Ford Mustang along with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Custom front subframe with Mustang II suspension and possibly coilovers Outback

I was wondering why you hadn't updated the Bronc. Sounds like no love lost between you and the owner....

Cool van LB. I got one years ago for a case of cold beer. Was a 6 banger stretch body. Will be watching too. [P. [cl

Very kooool!!! I had one for a delivery van for my business back in the 70's! Wish I hadn't sold it!

I'll definitely be following this build!

No I could tell it was coming. He kept putting me off and not showing up when we had set appointment. I finally told him to poop or get off the pot. I was going to play dumb games I had enough stuff to do. Supposedly were going to finish it at some point but I highly doubt it

i like the 2.3 turbo idea!

Have a fresh 2.3 turbo in the corner that's been waiting to go in the quatroportte shoebox which is next in the lineup. I thought parts would still be easy to locate but time marches on. Will be very interested in this project.
Really appreciate the effort you make to share what you do with us Lowbud.

No problem eman!!

You must be thinking of the od turbo coupe 2.3?? We are using a 2018 mustand eco boost. I have a buddy who just did an older 2.3 in a 30 coupe. It is wicked!!
