Did you know a 302c.i. V8, T-5 manual transmission and all the necessary accessories to make them work only cost $300? Apparently that’s what the subject of today’s public e-flogging believes.
You see, here we have a ’61 Falcon with a 302 + 5-speed combo. Per the seller:
302 with 10000 miles on it / Roller cam, ported exhaust, high volume oil pump, roller timing chain 9.5 to 1 compression / T5 five speed, with a new clutch, and hydraulic set up / 8.8 rear with 355s / New brakes all the way around(drum) / Griffen aluminum radiator / Edelbrock intake (performer) / Holley carb (600 cfm) / Hedman headers / Cherry bombs (exhaust needs to be tucked up) / Complete wiring harness (copy of a painless) / New water pump and alternator / Battery is in the trunk / Needs paint and body work, interior work, and a front windshield, replaced front and back window gaskets. I do have a new headliner for it the front seat was done about a year a go but it needs carpet door panels and the rear seat done.
With a non-op (but present!) title and an stiff-as-twinkies asking price of $2800, we’re looking at a pretty sweet deal…the kind of deal you might not be able to beat, but should at least take into consideration when trying to move your ’65 Falcon.
This is particularly true if your ’65 has a shot paintjob and body damage. Now, the ’65 is debatably the more attractive body style. Enough to warrant a mere $300 price reduction for the absence of such features as an engine, transmission or title? Seller #2 sounds like a friendly enough guy; you should probably send him an email explaining the situation and see how he responds.
