In 1990 I bought 2 ford falcons with factory 4sp, for $1000 a piece. Went around the country and found 4 dead ones and towed them home and stripped every part off them. Drove those two cars for twenty years. Carried tools and spare parts in the trunk. They were about as simple to work on as a Ford 8n tractor. When I retired I sold the cars and parts and made money. Had enough saved to pay cash for a dodge ram 1 ton with 12k on the clock,and a brand new artic fox trailer. Miss those cars though.
