Known Variations:

Falcon 2-door Wagon & Ranchero (with or without bed cover).

This one and the 65 El Camino/300 wagon are tooled similarly, to allow pickup or wagon configurations, and were done more or less at the same time. I was proud of the factory for doing such a good job, and was amazed that management let us push it through in the first place. Don't know that the Falcon panel was my first choice though--I probably would have preferred a wagon. Still, better the panel than no Falcon at all!

That's a cool casting. Glad they made it. (Good job getting it pushed it through, Jeff!)

I like this casting alot, I wish they would do a wagon and/or a custom hearse version of the 66 Nova (casting #924), it's a very mean looking wagon.

Jeff, you can definitely be proud of this casting and the one for the '65 El Camino/300.
They are nice ones and a bit different than the normal run of muscle cars.
I didn't even know that Ford made a Falcon panel until JL actually made the panel casting.
And then I had to do a little research on the Ford Falcons.
I think a station wagon may have been a better choice initially, but when you think about it from the standpoint of the manufacturer the panel probably made far more sense.
A panel suits itself for billboard purposes with much more potential than a station wagon.

Wyatt, thanks for choosing this casting for this week.
I have several variations of it.

Cheers. Cobra

nice pics and the flames on that black one just rocks IMHO

Yeah that hearse rocks, it was one of the first batch of 18 I bought. I wish I bought several to customize, I checked and the base from the "Charged Up" Spoiler version of the Charger would fit nicely under that and give it an evil jacked up look.

I think it was cool that JL picked this Falcon/Ranchero to make. Again another great pix Wyatt.
