This 1964 Ford Falcon is for sale in Grand Rapids, Michigan with an asking price of $2,500 OBO. The two-door sedan rolled out of the factory with a 170 ci (2.8 L) Thriftpower inline-six, three-speed manual, and Ford 8″ rear end with 3.00 gears. However it’s now powered by Mercedes 2.0 L OM601 inline-four diesel with a five-speed manual transmission which reportedly deliver 42 mpg. The body has rust but the owner states the rockers, shocks towers, and front frame rails are solid but the rear frame rails needed to be replaced. They also state the floor pans were replaced by the previous owner however they leak during the rain. The Falcon rides on new control arms, shocks, bushings up front and upgraded five-lug with 10″ drum brakes all around.

There is an error in the title, in the article it says that car has diesel inline-four while in the title it says that it has diesel inline-six.
Thank you. The article title is updated.
There is an error in your article. In the body it says the price is $2,500 but the real world value is $25.00
This has NOPE written all over it.
“10″ drum brakes all around.” NOPE
The wiring (engine bay especially) NOPE
The tape literally holding the transmission tunnel together. NOPE
The cheap ass cherry bomb they couldn’t be bothered to weld in. NOPE
This isn’t even half assed, it’s more like 1/8 assed. Fucking death trap is what it is.
Here’s a tip. That shit they do on roadkill ISN’T supposed to be aspirational.
A Falcon with a Mercedes diesel and 5-speed would definitely be appealing, but this one is more than a little too rough around the edges.
