Forty-five years of regular use anywhere on this planet will take its toll, even in California, where we East Coasters like to imagine cars naturally remain pristine no matter what. And, indeed, as we can see from the photos, this California black-plate 1969 Ford Falcon Futura station wagon for sale on Hemmings.com has taken a lickin’, but keeps on a-tickin’, rust-free and in running, driving condition. From the seller’s description:
302 V8, C4 automatic transmission, I’ve owned this car since 1997 and made many improvements: rebuilt heads, rebuilt carb., new wheel bearings, brakes, brake cylinders, master cylinder, water pump, hoses, rebuilt radiator, fuel pump, flushed fuel tank, electronic ignition, good tires. I have extra parts including hood, tailgate, bumpers, grill. Yes a few scratches and small dents, but this car is solid with no rust problems, great American iron. This car is licenced and has current tags with the desireable black California plates and would make a great surf rod or Dad & Son project. I’ve driven this car coast to coast twice and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
