It runs excellent. has new rebuilt carb. and was tuned and maintained by ise auto here in hollywood. ca (their expertise is in classic mustangs)body is super straight. when you look down the sides of this truck. the faceted design of the 64 and 65 falcon line really looks true and straight. the chrome bumpers and grille are perfect. The bed has a fresh tough herculiner finish in it. The interior is pretty basic. minimal and done to a simple raw so-cal look. Steering wheel was recently restored. there is no carpet. but has floor mats. I opted to finish the floor with the herculiner bedliner as well. the dash looks fresh. and there are no extraneous holes drilled out. For the door panels. I water jet cut 1/8" aluminum stock and riveted them in place. and have a steel wooled finish. The headliner is pretty good. not ripped. The bench seat. needs upholstery for sure . but the springs are good and is not totally trashed.
