Your photo assignment for today: Yes, you would rather take photos at a car show, but why don't you go to the local junk yard and take photos of ... junk. Incredible! Dick

He knows it's junk, so he brags about it, seeing that there are a lot of nice parts like the grill, bumpers, etc. and hopes someone needing these will buy it as a parts car. Also, he hopes there's one real sucker out there somewhere.

Well, let's see... he's taken pictures of all the ratty shit... the rusty wheel wells.. the interior (ain't that gonna be a sweet fix), the drivers seat...
Looks to me like the guy is trying to be honest about it... 50,000 miles on a 64 Falcon might means something to someone, why not play up the cars 'good(?)' points, too.
The guy looks and sounds like he's trying to be honest... and some of you guys still rip him a new ass....
Yeah... the car is rough... real rough. But I don't see anyone trying to hide anything....

I agree... what's he hiding? Nothing. Nothing in the description is pumping up the condition. I've seen worse restored. Me, I'd have at least vacuumed out the bird seed shells though... A little pre-photo prep work might have helped visually. For a relatively unmolested, seemingly original (except for the wheels) '64 Falcon it's not in horrible shape. My '65 Mustang I'm restoring is worse. And he certainly showed all the warts. However, there seems to be a solid car there. New seat upholstery, carpet and glove box and the interior is ready, if not perfect. Probably gonna have to replace at least part of the floor pans, but that's not surprising. Drop a crate motor in there, beef up the frame and suspension, a new top, some body work and you got a cherry cruiser. It's not far from me, if I didn't have a '65 Mustang in progress and an '86 Capri 5.0 in need of attention I'd be considering it.

Hey Mike, We communicated awhile back. So what's up with your 86 Capri? BTW: I still haven't purchased new wheels (4 bolt) and tires for my 84. I'm having enough trouble trying to find a hubcap for my 95 Ford van. With old age, hubcaps tend to lose their grip, and the missing hubcap is probably in a ditch between Minnesota and Virginia. Keep that 86 running! Dick
