    Evidently this guy has never seen a 5 digit odometer. I read it as 4,885 miles, more than likely it is 104k or even 204k miles. IMHO Ford ditched the Falcon name in favor of the Econoline as the standard 170 6 cyl was way underpowered for a hauler. They are very fun to drive tho and I want one, but I’d have to put in a bigger six or a small V8. This one sunk into the mud would need new wheels and tires for sure…… probably be a good donor for parts. Those doors are hard to come by here in the rust belt. 4k? Stop smoking that stuff. It will fry your brain.

      Not smoking anything Dude. Picked up this vehicle with a couple others on a property purchase. The odometer reads 48850 miles. I know very little about the vehicle, only that it is pretty cool looking and would be super cool restored. I don’t know where 4K came from but am open to offers. Restored these go for 8-30k. Do your homework and keep the pothead references to yourself. This was the property owners fathers vehicle and hasn’t been driven since 1999. As you can see, it has been sitting there for some time and has very little rust on it

    The Falcon Club Wagon looks like an Econoline to me.

      It is still basically an Econoline. The “Falcon Club Wagon” had windows all around, 3 rows of seats, and a neat “automatic” kickout side step on the side doors (you can just see it in the photos above). The “Econoline” vans only had windows in the front doors and back doors, and just two front seats.

      And this guy’s price is nuts. I bought a ’62 Econoline here in the same area two years ago for $500. I’ve seen decent condition driver Falcon Club Wagons here for well under $5k.

      FYI, the 60’s Mustang’s 200cid engine is a direct swap, as are some of the bigger displacement sixes.

    Bought one of these in 1991 for $500.00. Three on the tree and 170 cid; loved driving it. Came with a CB and an 8 track with Dean Martin tapes. Always thought it was strange that Ford called it a Falcon, now I know the reason. Traded it for a ’66 Mustang a few years later.

    3000$ to much. At least in my world
    Could be a cool workshop van, or just a camper.

    All the BF experts are giving their expert-wrong opinions. Although I find the price way high-it IS a Falcon van. Do your homework before you start spreading false info on the site.

    My Dad purchased a ’66 Falcon (the stripped down version of the Club Wagon) brand new back in ’66. Equipped with the 240 CID six / three on the tree and two bench seats in the rear. He built a custom camper box for the roof and storage cabinets for behind the aft seat. It took our family all over the country and a good portion of Ontario. We used to fight to see which one of us rugrats (at the time, LOL) got to sit up front on the engine box between Mom and Dad. (Take that safetyniks!!) What wonderful memories. Way too much cash for this one…

    I bought a 1964 Econoline van in 1974 for $200. It had a freshly rebuilt small 6 and an automatic. Ran terrific, put shag carpeting and a hinged bed in it…my first camper van!

    My dad bought a 1963 Deluxe Club Wagon brand new – Ford blue with a 170 and 3 on the tree. We drove that thing with 6 people all over the country and Mexico plus just a daily driver for my mom. These are very cool vans. We had a pad made for the engine compartment with a seat belt so one of the kids could ride up front in the middle. It went away I never see them anymore.
