Recent reading led me to see if I could find a usable, affordable Ford Mustang. However, it appears that as we approach the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, the slightly mangy but affordable ones are gradually disappearing, leaving complete projects, nice drivers, and beyond. So what to do? AMC AMXs or Javelins might be cheaper, but unfortunately hard to find. Maybe an average sedan with a powerful engine, like a Nova? Guess again, it appears most anything beyond a basket case is over $4000. And then I realized I’d forgotten the Ford Falcon (approved by 9 out of 10 Argentinean government spooks!). The Mustang’s more dowdy older sister, the years have been kind to it and it now looks like a tidy little compact sedan. Save yourself some time poring through all kinds of listings and reach out to the seller of this 1962 Falcon two-door, listed at $3900 (still not cheap!) in Port Orchard, WA, just west of Seattle.
