1963 Ford Falcon 2-Door Wagon — V8 Restomod with Rare Body Style and Custom Build ThroughoutWhy This Car Is SpecialThe 1963 Ford Falcon is not a car most people associate with performance, and that is exactly what makes one like this so interesting. Ford sold the Falcon as an economy car starting in 1960, and it became one of the best-selling compact cars in America during the early 1960s. By 1963, the lineup had expanded to include sedans, convertibles, hardtops, and wagons — but the 2-door wagon was never a high-volume body style. Only 7,322 two-door Falcon wagons were built for the 1963 model year, and with six decades of attrition behind us, the number of solid survivors is genuinely small.The VIN on this car decodes to confirm it was built in San Jose, California, assembled as a 1963 model, and leaves no ambiguity about the body style — this is the two-door wagon, the short-roof variant that gives the Falcon a profile completely different from its four-door counterpart. It carries the compact dimensions and unibody construction Ford engineered for the platform, which is worth understanding: the 1963 Falcon shares its basic architecture with what eventually became the original 1964-and-a-half Mustang. Ford engineers used the Falcon's floorpan, front suspension geometry, and rear axle as the starting point when they developed the Mustang in a hurry. That is not trivia — it is the reason V8 swaps and performance upgrades translate so cleanly to these cars. The hard engineering work was already done.This particular 1963 Ford Falcon has been built as a street-driven restomod. It is not a show trailer queen and it is not a rough project. It occupies the middle ground that experienced car guys tend to prefer: a car that is already done, already sorted, and ready to drive. The 302 cubic inch small block under the hood, the Hurst floor shifter, the Flowmaster dual exhaust, the lowered stance — these are the choices of someone who understood what the Falcon's light weight and tight dimensions could become with the right power behind them.Features List- 302 Cubic Inch V8 Engine- Weiand Intake Manifold- Holley 4-Barrel Carburetor- Thunderbolt-Style Ram Air Cold Air Intake with Dual Cone Filters- Dual Exhaust with Flowmaster Mufflers- Chrome Alternator- Color-Matched Engine Bay (Gloss Green Block, Compartment, and Intake)- 3-Speed Automatic Transmission- Hurst Floor Ratchet Shifter- Lowered and Raked Stance- Drum Brakes All Around- Solid Undercarriage- Satin Green Metallic Exterior with White Roof- Custom Hood Scoop- Upgraded Headlights- Chrome Front and Rear Bumpers- Chrome Side Mirrors- Chrome Wheels- Black Sidewall Tires- Good Glass and Trim- Dolphin Aftermarket Gauge Cluster- Painted and Detailed Dash with Custom Pinstriping- Stock Black Falcon Steering Wheel- Bench Seats Front and Rear — Vinyl and Cloth- Matching Door Panels- Carpeting and Floor Mats- Heater and Defroster- Fold-Down Rear SeatMechanicalThe engine in this 1963 Ford Falcon is a 302 cubic inch V8, Ford's small block that shares its basic family lineage with the 289 and 351 Windsor family. On a car that originally came equipped with an inline six or at most a small displacement V8, the 302 is a meaningful upgrade in power density without adding excessive weight to the nose. The 302 is also one of the more well-supported engines in the hobby — parts are plentiful, knowledge is widespread, and the combination of a Weiand intake manifold and Holley 4-barrel carburetor on top means this engine breathes well above stock specification. The Weiand is a proven street intake choice that prioritizes mid-range torque over top-end peak numbers, which suits a car like this perfectly.The cold air intake system on this build takes inspiration from the Thunderbolt drag program Ford ran in 1964, using large-diameter ducting with dual cone filters to pull cooler outside air directly into the carburetor rather than pulling fro
