Parked in the Woods 38 Years Ago! Can we get this Falcon Wagon Moving Again! 

Love the old wagons! They have so much character, unlike all the plastic we have now.

Father and son. I hope you both know how blessed you are to have each other ❤

That's the first time that Falcon has seen any kind of love in over 38 years. That model series of the Falcon has always been my favorite.

They came from the factory with a double action fuel pump that had a vacuum booster for the wipers. The vacuum line you pointed out connects to the vacuum booster. The pump you installed with the filter on top was used on 1963 and later models. Thanks for saving that wagon, it has a lot of potential!

Michael yalls channel is our favorite to watch, thanks for the continued wholesome content

I think the old wagon is a keeper. The patina is great

Just what i needed to cheer my day. Love from Portugal 🇵🇹😉

28:44 exactly. the way it sat there in the woods, overgrown and left behind, it's absolutely awesome how you guys massage them back into life. Gives me so much satisfaction. looking forward to a further roadstoration and interior fix-up. saving the world and one car at a time. love you guys. keep 'em coming.

Got to tell my 19 yo son that when I was growing up we had one of these my middle sister drove to school and she painted the car navy blue, the roof white and the wheels red, with a paintbrush! In was one 1976 so she called it the spirit of ‘76 as well as painted that name in red underneath the drivers side windshield wiper! Those were some awesome times in my life! My older sister had the little sedan of the same year, 61 ish and I’ve still got a warbuncle on my forehead where I flew into the metal dash as my teenage sister went roaring across one of our southern Montana cow pastures and hit a washout! Wow, those were the days. That little car was the same green color of your wheels.😂

That little fella sure has all the bells and whistles you could put on a 1960 Ford Falcon. Love the rooftop chrome luggage carrier. Very chic chic 😊

Some of these old cars just don’t want to perish, may this 1961 Ford Falcon Wagon live on forever, she is a sweet old girl.

Seeing the old Falcons takes me back so many years. Earlier this evening, I was on Facebook and discovered that there’s a group devoted to the Firebird that was used on the Rockford Files. I noticed your Firebird as you were driving your Falcon around and was reminded of seeing the group on Facebook this evening.

I had a 1961 Falcon Coupe with buckets and a console when I left Hawaii in 77. Shipped to Ga and drove until selling to another GI. Had a 144 engine with 3-speed on the tree. Changed valve cover with later model and installed PCV system to help breathe and run cleaner.

You and your dad have a great channel. Always enjoy watching your projects come to life! Great to see all of the vehicles you are giving a second life. Love the Ford falcons. You won’t have any problem selling it if you choose to sell.

I had a 64 falcon station wagon with the power rear window. Great car to work on. So simple and efficient. Nowadays everything is plastic & Cheaply made. Thanks for the video!

Again guys, fantastic stuff !! My dad had one just like this - Wagon, in white - 1963 here in Australia. Love your work. Fletch - Classic Restos TV 👍

My cousin used to have one of those. Here in Argentina Falcons were made up till the early 1990s. You can still see older an newer models on the road. They had the 3.0L (188) and the 3.6L (221) engines. The majority with manual gearbox, we are not very used to AT (nowadays maybe younger people are) . Those cars are bulletproof and easy to repair. Really nice video .

I love your channel! I watch your content before Vice Grip Garage, and Junkyard Digs. Thanks for your hard work.

Another classic saved from the crusher, well done!

Growing up a Ford guy, i love that wagon, brakes muffler & tape up the headliner & you'd have a decent grocery getter. Love the that crazy rabbit & the gmc motor home.

I had a '63 falcon wagon with the 2 speed slopamatic when I was in High School. Loved the car. It was a gutless wonder tho.

I could binge watch this. Can't wait to see what they do with it next

I would drive that the rest of my life. New engine, trans and understuff. Keep the patina and fix the floor. I got excited when you got it running again. Love that old stuff.

A very Good Morning to You and your Father. This project has been a really Good watch of yours and your Fathers Incredible Restoration Skill, Ability, Care, Mechanical Knowledge. What a very Gorgeous American Classic this vehicle is. She really does Deserve a Full Restoration, the works done to this Beautiful and Full of History of who ever originally owned her many years ago. This is a rare Falcon Wagon. Strip her down completely, check all of the metal sub frame, and just begin again and replace any rusted through metal work. Like you did on your Beautiful Porsche that i remember following you and your Father Episode by Episode. Loved every single stage that You both created that Gorgeous and very Stunning Porsche 911 Classic Sports car. You both should do the same project with this Beautiful, Rare American Classic Falcon Wagon. Make this one, Your Best Restoration my Friend.

Pretty cool! Im really liking the GMC motor home progress and those diesel VWs you guys work on. They're just so cool!! Keep em' coming fellas.

You guys are amazing. Y’all make simpletons like me get out and work on stuff just for the love of it.

That would be the bomb of an old wagon going out on the beach! I had an old 60 falcon and the carburetor was a holly, but it had a glass fuel bowl. Really cool watching the fuel going through the carburetor like that. Ran great, but because they had permanent valve guides worn out, it burned oil really bad.

I remember this car, my dad had one. The driving technique on this car goes back to the 30's. The falcon wagon wouldn't start one day and was towed in . 0 compression.

That is a sweet little wagon. My dad had a ‘63, 2 door white, with A/C back in the day. Wish I had it today.

It's always great to see you guys bring forgotten cars back to life. Keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲

Nice job Michael and dad, I was just thinking, a nice little feature would be a perspex panel in the footwell, and keep the view of the road passing by beneath your feet 👍🤔😆

I am old enough to have driven one, it was 13years old when I drove it., that was in 74, it was my brothers car, I liked the old Falcons, they were dependable and inexspencive to keep up and run.

This video was fantastic. I had a 1963 falcon 2dor wagon with a 144 ci engine. I had more fun in that car than if I had a suped up sportscar. Seeing you pull tis one out of the forest and get it running brought back a lot of memories for me. Keep up the good work.

He have character, I love it and I love the fact you give her back to life. That's great !

My mother had a 1963 Ford Falcon station wagon. Ours was blue and did not have A/C. Before that, she had a 54 Buick. After this little ford she got a 67 buick

My Grandmother had 62 Falcon Wagon and a 62 Ranchero both white straight 6 and 3 on the tree boy does it bring back memories

I've been following you many years now. along with Dylan (Mcool). Both of you are " the gentlemen" in restorations. Greetings from Christmas Island.

Rebuilt one of these back in the 70's. Put in a 4 speed and drove it across Texas.

Back when I was growing up our neighbors two doors down had a Red Falcon Wagon that looked like this. The wife owned a 65 Oldsmobile 442 with the four speed. The husband ONLY drove the Falcon.

An absolute gem. I'll drive it anywhere.😊❤

I would love to see more videos on this old car. They don't make station wagons anymore like that. Please restore it and keep it running. Sure does beat these newer cars.

Yes a new video 😀 I love when i see a notfication from Budget Buildz 👍

Yes I did enjoy this rescue mission.... just love your optimism calling it (*) "patina! (* sometimes, in less refined circles, referred to as [dare I use that vulgar term] "rust").

Thats pretty cool, I had a Falcon station wagon similar to that but it had a 3 speed manual transmission. I didnt have it long, I bought it not running, got it to run, replaced the clutch and sold it for a god profit. That was back around 1982. For cheap transportation, they were great cars.

I live in Georgia and as I can best recall my Dad had one of these and the color was a very light green. This would have been in the late 60's or early 70's when he had his. On another note I'd like to say that you all have good taste in music. Silent Partner is a good band. They have a couple of other songs that I like quite a bit and that would be "Swamp Stomp" and "Accidents Will Happen". One final item is I remembered this car is equipped with a generator. Whenever the generator or voltage regulator is replaced the generator MUST BE POLARIZED or there is risk of damage to the electrical system.

Great to see the smile on your dad's face 😊😊😊😊

It would be nice to take that wagon (fully restored of course) to Yellowstone on Vacation!

I’d just have to do the bodywork, strip off the rust, and paint it. Personally, I don’t even mind a little fiberglass and bondo body repair to bring something like this back to shine ‘on the cheap’. Others may object to it but I understand that not all cars are worth professional, show car level restorations; rather trying to make something look the best you can with the focus being on the grunt work, not the money and looking good while driving the fun out of it!

All your builds / rescues are fun to watch and i love wagons. Watching the wash and transformation was incredible. Lokking forward to more of this little gem. Thanks for the video. 👍👍✌️

My very first car was a 1962 Ford falcon station wagon. I am now 76 years old. We show our age!

0:15 ohhh, a nice and rare french car : renault 4cv in the background ! 🥰

I love watching all the problem solving ingenuity!

That old Falcon Wagon is cool stuff don't let Sleeper Dude see that thing or he will want it for his collection but that's a cool old car you found there. I'm not a Ford guy but I like the old Falcons

Ah, always a happy day when you upload a new episode and 'SHE'S A RUNNER' ! I like how much you guys enjoy yourselves, keep going.

Really enjoying this build - bringing a simple low value car back to life is no less interesting than something sophisticated and valuable. Also loving the RV build!!

My brother had a 62 Falcon wagon with the 6 cylinder and I loved driving it but it was gutless.I drove it with the pedal to the floor almost all the time.

Is that the sweetest sounding engine? What a wonderful car. Great job. Thumbs up from the UK.

My dad proudly turned up in the Squire version of this same model [1962] when I was twelve. It was the first station wagon we had owned. Prior to this time, he had always had 'utes' - pick ups for you Americans - and we kids just loved the security of loafing and sleeping in the cargo bay, rather than under the tarmac of the open tray back ! Thank for your entertaining and professional work

Your starting to look like your dad with the mustache. Looking good, i do appreciate all the repairs you guys do, keep up the great work. Just waiting on another update for the RV. I had a 28 footer that i did all my own repairs including the refrigerator.

Reminds me of my childhood. My dad drove a Ford Ranchero with 3 tree manual transmission til he passed in 03. Brother in high-school 80s early 90s drove a Ford falcon. Thanks for memory lane

Great video … old cars are much easier to work on than the ones they make nowadays.

Oh shit, as you was driving the wagon out out of the garage. You passed the Rabbit P/U, I still want one of those, but I '81-'83 Rabbit diesel. Oh the memories. 😂😂

you guys make the most fun vids ever, love this wagon and your RV!

Wow very cool Michael. When is the next video on the Plymouth? My gosh I love that car (I wish I owned one) (even though I am more of a Mini Cooper lover). Great video Michael and Mr."Dad" Wagner!!

Patina is cool on the right vehicle. I think this is the right vehicle.

Nice running and sounding 6 cylinder engine 😋

My dad was selling Fords when the Falcons came out. Great little cars.

Glad you got it running,

In Australia I had a green one of these 1962 - identical - it served me well - it was cheap had +100k on the clock - had to replace the front shocks and bushes when I got it. One night I was sitting at the traffic lights on Anzac Parade at the Captain Cook Hotel (Howz that for memory) - I was with my girlfriend at the time and I when I pulled the 3 on the tree down into first gear the whole gear lever pulled straight off leaving a small stub - could just get it into gear so we roared off - replaced it next weekend after a trip to the wreckers. After I sold it the guy who bought it rang me and said a front wheel had fallen off going over the mountains ….. but no one was hurt ….. think this model had problems in the front end ….

Our Australian Falcons looked similar, and even had a lever for the "Hood", when we have bonnets. I think this was an XM over there - someone will correct me. Poor old girl, I hope that she has a future.

I love this one! Gotta fix the old wagons!

I love the Falcon. And how close you and your father are.

So cool y'all done it ❤ TY I'm starting to injoy you guys ❤️💜

Wagon's with roof luggage rack,❤❤❤. This falcon deserves more love. Thank you!

Mom & Dad had a ‘64, the year I was born, really great ol’ cars…great restoration as always guys! Your dad’s Mugsy imitation is hilarious 😆 Might look around for a used manual transmission if you can get an inexpensive one, not sure how the external cooler would work. Good luck moving forward, peace ✌️

I just can't believe ppl leave pearls like this in the woods for years. Luckely they get new life🙏

That car had a lot more paint left than I originally thought it did. It cleaned up a lot better than I expected. You are correct. The brakes are going to be a major issue on this car. They are unobtainium. You may end up having to do some type of conversion on it. It is worth it though. I love stuff like this, especially when you literally pull it out of the woods like this. Good luck on the brakes. It runs really well, considering the condition it was in and the amount of time it sat. You got lucky there.

When installing radiators, cut a piece of cardboard to protect the inside surface from getting damaged. A couple of minutes makes for a much neater job.

Yay.... always waiting for the next episode !

This car is going to be amazing. I love this lil wagon.

Boy sleeperdude would be all over this Nice fine Love the wagons

Love it! That is a awesome wagon.

Red rims will set it off! Awesome job guys. I love those 60's model Fords. Lo

Red wheels, dog dish caps. Rattle can white paint job, red pinstripes and low buck interior job (Mexican blanket)

If that’s THEE original paint, keep the patina! Having an IV gas tank ride shotgun is the first that I’ve seen. Great job!

Love it! Old wagons are so cool

The roof rack makes it! Cool car…

Man you are right there in Sleeperdude territory with this Falcon. I bet it smells nice and fresh LOL.

Great job! We had a 64 2-door wagon as a play car when I was a kid

It's possible the vacuum line goes to the wipers. I had a falcon wagon like that and with the wipers on as you give the motor more throttle the wipers would go slower. It was strange. Great little wagon tho

Love the falcon wagon! I had a .61 ranchero in the mid 70s sold it for 100$ when the clutch went out, oh well just oil under the bridge

Love it! Boy, they don't make 'em like that any more!

My father had a '61 Falcon wagon, silver. paint went totally flat by the time we sold it. I think that had a 144 cu inch engine, no a/c. We had that until the early seventies when we replaced it with a second hand '62 Comet wagon bought from an uncle. That one had the 170 engine.I used to buy those Autolite 1100 carbs rebuilt ,in 1978-9, for around $30.00 iirc. My '65 mustang 200 cu inch used that carb. There was an auto parts store , open on Sundays ,that had them on the shelf usually. Any 66 or later six cylinder mustang had the 4 lug 14" rims .My '65 had 13" four lug rims. Many 6 cylinder Mustang driveline /suspension parts interchange with Falcons.

I bet the sleeper dude is drooling He loves those old Ford falcons. In fact I think he's putting a small block in one. I enjoy your videos and really appreciate the fact that you keep it kid friendly much appreciated

Reminds me of the 1960 Frontenac wagon my dad had when I was a young lad. Great little wagon. Yes, would love to see more of this Falcon.

It's fantastic to see the cute little Falcon driving again after being abandoned and forgotten for so long. You guys are amazing. Probably the only major thing I would have done differently is, I would have cleaned the engine before starting to work on it. Clean makes the job so much easier. I hope to see more videos where that little car get fixed into solid dependable condition if not totally restored and NOT modified or customized. Good luck!

Not done until it does a burnout. ❤

Whatever you do to the rest of the car try to keep that exhaust note. That little 6-cylinder sounds good.

You tease me over and over with the Merc SL, I must know details! Falcon sweeeeet!

Your dad is so hard working you so lucky man to have him
