This 1963 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery was purchased and restored by the most experienced member of Longlane, LLC in 1971. When purchased, this vehicle had been owned by a furniture company in Lumberton, North Carolina and still had the company's name on the side. The car had a ruined Ford 144 six cylinder and a three speed manual transmission. These were replaced with a bored and rebuilt 260 Ford Fairlane V-8 and a Fairlane automatic transmission and rear-end. The entire front suspension was replaced with V-8 Mustang suspension parts, and air conditioning was added as well. 1964 Thunderbird bucket seats were installed, and an eight-track tape player was installed in a custom fabricated console. Interior trim and insulation were also replaced, and the dash and interior were painted a chocolate brown Oldsmobile paint popular at the time. The exterior was painted with 1969 Ford Meadowlark yellow. Fourteen inch Fairlane wheels and a set of Ford spoked wheel covers were also added. A sub-frame was fabricated and installed to stiffen the unibody frame of the car.

This Falcon was driven for over five years and regularly towed a fiberglass 14 foot runabout. The car was sold to a friend in 1977 and was known to still be running smoothly in the mid-1980's. The last time the car was seen was in 1998 inside a fence. When we tried to repurchase the car, the current owner refused to sell.
