and I had a falcoon, my first car in America, a 1968. Bought it for $200, put 134k miles on it, sold it for $600. Drove it from Philly to S.C. and back regularly. I did burn out a valve, or it had a burned out valve when we got it. So I took the head off and took it up to our one room efficiency apt on 34th and Race St in Philly and fixed it. Unfortunately, I had an accident when putting it back together. I had a friend crank the engine over while I caught gas coming out of the gas line.... I wanted to clean parts of the engine. The engine caught on fire and burned up the wires - all the spark plug wires - plus. My friend and I walked up and down Race St and found enough spark plug wires and bits and pieces to get the car running. Had it painted at Earl Sheib's for about $200 or was it $70? A great car, Graham
