Scotty Kilmer Scotty Kilmer can you do a video on the best luxury car to buy. Mean cost repair, fuel effecienty and resale? I have a 09 C-300, Mercedes and I am thinking about going elsewhere. I really like the dodge challengers. However I want a fuel efficient luxury car.
If you have the resources to do this with your son and he's a car guy then this will be the single most important thing you'll ever do with/for him. I learned everything I know about cars when my dad helped me rebuild a '69 Mustang while was a teen in the 80s, taking out the blown up 302 and swapping in a 351C from his mother's junked station wagon. Nothing else has trumped that experience with my father and all I've ever had to do is keep up with the lastest technology and updates in the auto industry.
Every teenage boy or girl who builds their own car appreciates it a lot more than something given to them. And sooner or later they'll regret ever selling it.
I bought my first car 30 years ago. It was a 1968 Corolla KE10 2 door that had been parked about a year or so. It needed a bit of love...and a whole lot of brakes. I paid $300 for it, figured I'd just drive it til I found something better. What did I drive to the store today? Yup.
IcantSignIn oh wow ke10... I would love one, but where I live they are so rusted they only have roof. Got myself a tt132 liftback tho, currently being rebuilt and rust fixed :D
well done mate ,we had them in Australia. They are a good little car. , they increase in value and the old cars can be fixed by anyone. I still have my old Chrysler regal se made in Australia I built 30 years ago.
My hat is off to you young man. This is refreshing in an age where young men are portrayed as helpless to change a flat, I refer to the stupid Liberty Insurance commercial
This is the best Sunday car featured on TSKC so far. I thought this was at least a 30 yr old man. Good for you kid, you get it. I'd much rather own a classic than todays mostly disposable pos cars. Your Falcon looks awesome! Great work. I had the same color combo as you on a car I had. Flat black with blue stripes.
seriously? it isn´t that expensive right? or is it? Here in Argentina lots of people keep falcons or 70´s car like that and you can get a ford falcon for 5.K US dollars or 2.1K
@Dennis Pierson haha, yeah, here falcons were produced until 1991, they were a true succes and were a little modified through the years still keepings its spirit
Save the looks for last, put your money in the mechanics first. A pretty car doesn't do you any good on the side of the road. They're still pretty simple to work on at that time and parts should be plentiful. If something ain't broke...tear it apart and rebuild it anyway. Good Luck!.
keep chipping away, sir. you'll learn a lot and you're gonna have a bad ass auto when you're done. I wish I had done something like that when I was your age.
Benjamin Ramirez jr Im 19, Birthday Just passed an I wasnt fortunate enough to work on one or get a job. But im a genius building architect, love cars even If rusty, and intend to be mechanic!
Sick ride man. Daddy can buy you a new BMW and yea it will be nice, but it could never be as COOL as an old school muscle car. And the wagon just makes room for more woman. lol
That was my 1st car except I had the 2door coupe! I put a 289 in it, ran really good! Sold it while I was in the USAF, sorry I had to get rid of it..Nice job, great to see dad+son builds!
Me and my dad are working on my 1965 falcon 2 door sedan. I just turned 16, I’m getting her ready for body work and paint and I can’t wait til she’s done. THANKS FOR THE AMAZIN VIDEO
Saw the the contact pattern on those bevels (I was making bevel gears for a short time)... You guys really know what You're doing. Beautiful engineering, great job :)
That car is fantastic! The owner seems like a great kid with a good head on his shoulders too! I'd take this over any mid-range priced new car any day!
Oh man the first time i heard about the tide pod challenge i thought my buddy was joking it sounded so alien to me i asked him what it was answered my own question with is that what it sounds like and boom mind was blown
In my day (60's) all the guys had some beater they built and that made us happy. I don't think that happens much any more. Then again walk thru any salvage yard and note how many really nice late model cars are there with blown or burned up engines/transmissions. Even mechanics don't want to fix late model nightmares. Great car, great video.
In my collection of back yard metal there is a 75 nova I brought home about 6 years ago. My then 5 year old decided that one was hers for some reason. At 11 she is still talking about what we need to do to it to get it on the road. I guess we will have to start on it soon so it will be road ready for her. What an inspiring video. Cool wagon!
That is truly AWESOME!!! I Really wish more kids would have that passion... The love for these cars MUST be passed on to the future generations. Dads, grandads, uncles, etc, who love these cars, collect these cars, PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! Pass your love for these cars to your children! Show them how these beautiful works of automotive art have impacted our heritage and culture in this country. The Passion needs to be preserved!!! Drive the Passion!!!
My daughter was steering boats around the lake at age 4, helping change oil at 8, driving a stick at 12 ...and now has no interest in cars whatsoever, drives an auto hybrid Honda. Could of had a 4 speed 6.6 "Smokey" TA at one point. *sigh
This is so cool! Keep Scarlet bud, she's a gem and you are badass for keeping a piece of history alive and well. Kudos Scotty on choosing this young man this week!
👋 hi, 19 years old, 67 falcon sports coupe small block 302 with a 21 circuit painless wiring harness 600 cfm 4 barrel edelbrock with a high energy ignition and longtube headers with a flowtech glass pack. And some other stuff I forgot haha. Falcons are such an amazing car one of the original economy cars. "The short limousine" most people called it. Back in 64 they had a endurance race with the Falcon's to see if they could push them to their max and fail and not a single car broke. They are truly amazing cars I will say that
Keye T we saw a 63 Ford Falcon near our home when we went to go out and eat and that's were he explained when he bought it he didn't have a garage to put it any were so he just sold it he had and restored many muscle cars before they became Expensive collector items along side his full time job working on Diesel trucks.
Derek Reinmille my dad had a 72 Nova SS and it was his baby in 2016 we were down our block to our currency exchange and out front was a man with a 68-72 nova. And my dad was just standing there looking at it and had told me he had a 72 Nova my older brother recalls some were in the 1990s were he saw him drunk and tearing up saying why did he sell the nova.
I never was a wagon fan probably becouse thats all we had when I was a kid. But today my opinion just change. Awesome story,Awesome car,Awesome memories you will remember for a life time with your dad. Thats a car to drive with pride. GOOD PICK SCOTTY!
Maynard Reed I mean this isn't 1970s my dad bought a 1963 Ford Falcon in the 1970s for $800 and sold it for $300 it was just any other used car like todays used Toyota or honda today it will sell more expensive then it was new even with no engine Honda's and Toyotas are great cars just shitted on because of the ricer community always the reliable cars then and now.
TheMillennialMechanic it's ok for my first car but its a fwd which is something that i should've looked into more before buying it. Also it's really slow.
I just got my father's 65 Falcon Futura. it's been garaged for the last 33 years. Amazingly it's still in great condition! Of course, I got a lot of work ahead of me, just to get it running and driving again. But that's fun part!
This guy is an inspiration. I'm 18 and I'm fixing up a 1974 Citroen DS. My problem is to fix the rust, other than that, the car just need a new paint job.
Total dedication and 100% Hart and soul. Nice to see young kids do it the Old way instead of playing with the PlayStation now you can look at it and say with pride I did that and no one can ever take lat away from you
Aluminum heads and less than 300 HP? Engine either has way too small of a cam or way too much combustion chamber. And I'll take that 650 carb off yer hands since you don't wanna fix the choke :) Sweet old car even if it is fuel injected!
@111 111 Actually it is pretty bad, I'd hate to say anything negative about the kids car cause it's pretty sweet but that's the weakest motor with aluminum heads I've ever seen. Cast iron is more resistant to warpage and lends itself better to long term daily driving and potential overheating issues. Aluminum heads on an old V8 will warp after running hot just once so this motor has all the disadvantages of aluminum heads but none of the power benefits. I'm sure it does drive a little better with the weight reduction provided though.
@Baron Sable I didn't actually read the spec sheet until now so thanks for asking and thanks for the time stamp. I can see it has good compression at 10.0:1 but the lift on the cam is pretty lackluster, in fact it's barely better than the stock amount of lift in the 66 model solid lift 273 Cuda engine I used to have in my Roadrunner. This is definitely the cams fault and they also didn't run it quite to max RPM on the dyno either. I'm no engine builder but that's probably the smallest cam I've ever seen in a built dyno'd motor with aluminum heads. It was probably a safety measure to keep the kids car first car from being dangerously powerful while making that easy to fix. If the kid and his dad want 400 Horsepower later on down the road it's just a cam change away as it certainly has enough compression and flow to support that much power or more.
Sc00byGaming98 those are great cars as longest they have a manual transmission. Any Honda or Toyota with a manual transmission are really good as well.
And the lancer is still the one from 2007, no upgrades at all. Mitsubishi just couldn't be bothered is the real reason, they don't care about their product.
For Jessie's dad. You've given him skills which will shape his life. (I have friends who have a hard time figuring out how to turn on a toaster.) Great job.

Get rear ended even at a low speed and you have a pretty high risk of neck injury because of no headrests. It doesn't even have seatbelts. A good car for conventions or special events, but not for daily driving.
Joe Figueroa no it isn't. No airbags, no seatbelts, bench seats that do not support you, no headrest, you will be seriously injured or die if you get into a collision with this car.
he said he modified the under carriage and they put all that money into it...i would assume they did not overlook the undercarriage in this matter....if you want dangerous then look up vw and see why that old bug was terminated for many years....i just dont have the time to babysit the safety of a old ford right now . but the old cars have so much more on the new generation computerized cars of today....i guess you had to be there*
I'm not rich but I like to help my son. He always went to private Schools and Universities. My wife and me,never consume alcohol,we never consumed drugs or cigarettes,we don't play golf,we don't travel to expensive destinations,we don't have expensive boat,we don't have expensive cars or vacation house and we never gamble,(Lottery only). I only wish that my son would be interested in cars,not in stupid and useless computer games!
Just stumbled across this video of your car, Jesse. Very well done build. I see a lot of comments saying they had similar cars, but would like to say that I had this exact same car - white (as yours was originally) '65 Falcon wagon, that I bought from my auto shop teacher in 1982 for $50. I was 16 and my dad was unemployed at the time, so no $$ to do too much to it. Was limited to what I could do in shop class for little to no cost. It got totaled in 1984, but I've had a fondness for these ever since. Am 55 now and looking to get myself one as a project. Hope it turns out as good as yours!
Good job! This is the type of thing we did in the 80's growing up. The old cars were still pretty cheap in the 80's. I bought a 69 Camaro for 1500 bucks. A 72 Camaro rs for a grand. Those are just a couple of the old cars I had as a kid. Good job man.
That's a real badass car for a teenager, my first car bought back when I was 17 in gr.12. (December 24th of 2015) A 1955 GMC halfton pickup. Now 19 turning 20.
Awesome job Jesse. This will mean far more to you than if you would have went to a dealership and just bought a car off the lot...this car will still be around after you have passed on...
