It is not enough just to live - we have to have something to live for.

1965 Falcon sedan delivery 30 years later in 2007
Purchased this Falcon on February 14, 1977 from the University of Florida.  They had purchased it to deliver the University student newspaper twice a week.  It was poorly repainted white with Palomino interior, radio delete, 3.50 rear end ratio.  It never left town.  Had 6 cylinder engine and small 2.77 three speed transmission.  In 1982 changed to a 1966 Falcon 200 engine so I could use a 1971 Maverick 3.03 column shift three speed transmission with synchronized first gear.  In 2003 changed to a 1970 Falcon 200 engine that has 63,000 miles and installed 1979 Granada 11 inch V8 front disk brakes.  In 2006 installed 5 lug Maverick 2.79 rear axle w/ Lincoln brakes.   A body shop replaced the front floor with new panels.  In 2007 replaced the gas tank.
