which is better?
 

I'm an old Ford guy so I'm askin which is better.; a '65 Ford Falcon, a '65 Fairlane, or a '65 Ford truck (any)?
I'm partial to '65 - as you can tell.

I just want some opinions for future possible rides.

1965 Fords
 

I would choose a '65 Falcon Futura coupe. 289 V-8 and (I believe) it was available with a 4 bbl. and 4-speed trans.

Mustang-size (the original 'Stang was based on the Falcon platform and they shared many parts) and - a 5.0 fits! Not common and still sharp. Can be modded for real performance.

The Fairlane was O.K. - it could be ordered with the 289/271 HP engine the Mustang had, but I always saw it as sort of an awkward car, although it's somewhat rare, now.

A 1965 F-150 is an old truck - you either like 'em or you don't. They bore me. The '65 F-150 did have a 351 engine available - for whatever that's worth.

Were I buying a new car in 1965, I probably would have chosen the Falcon 289 for it's Mustang underpinnings and lower cost. Fun car.

This is all subjective but hey, you wanted opinions.

the 65 Fairlane was the one i picked. it was the sharpest car of the bunch you mentioned. not saying the others are bad, but a Fairlane has its place.

I like the 64 fairlanes the best IMO. I wanna make a 427 thunderbolt replica some day :D :D :D

If u like the use of a truck, but like the looks of a Falcon. Try to get a '65 Falcon Ranchero. Not sure, but I think even Fairlane had a Ranchero model too.

i picked the truck...cuz I love old trucks... ;)

the '65 Falcon got my vote. But I would take any of them really. :D

I PICK THE TRUCK TOO-------CAUSE I LIKE OLD TRUCKS TOO

A couple years ago, a buddy and I built a '64 Ranchero. That thing was ugly as sin, but very fast. Since it wasn't an option, I didn't vote. Sorry.

Take care,

I like the falcon the best. There was one in my hometown when I was growning up that was awesome. I don't know if it was stock anymore, but it sure was cool :cool:

i like the 65 falcon body style,jmo:)

I went with the fairlane. I'm not a big fan of the falcons for the simple reason that i love older big cars. For a racing car i'd go falcon but for cruising i'd go fairlane all the way.

too bad they are all old cars...otherwise i would have voted :D

i picked the falcon. My buddy's dad (who, incidentally, got me into mustangs!) restored a 63 Falcon using mustang 2 suspension parts. 5.0, aluminum heads, intake, carter AFB carb. top loader four speed. the car is so small and light it flies. He has a set of slicks on it, and drives it on the street. he can launch at a light and pick the front tires like 2 feet in the air! car is f-ing cool. i was going to buy it off of him, but i don't like the color. Gumby green. :confused:
