His and Hers and Hers again!  1964 Sprint Convertible, 1965 Sedan Delivery, 1965 Ranchero

B.J. and Margie have owned their 1964 Sprint Convertible for over 20 years. For fifteen years, B.J. drove it back and forth to work. Upon retiring from Ford Motor Company in 1994, he restored it with some  help from his friends. They rebuilt the 289 engine, installed new red interior, put Granada brakes on the front and "gave her a new paint job." This '64 has a chrome '65 grill and B.J. removed some of the chrome emblems for a smoother look.
Then Margie wanted a sedan delivery. After looking for three years, they finally found a 1965 at the Charlotte Nationals in 1999. They put in a new engine, radiator and ball joints. They fixed the brakes and put new aluminum exhausts with Flowmasters on both. They painted it Springtime Yellow with a matching leather interior, complete with Falcon logo sewn into the interior side panels. In 2002, they added 16-inch billet aluminum Torque Thrust wheels. In 2003 pale yellow ghost flames were added to the front fenders, along with a pale yellow Falcon logo on the side panels. Margie wanted yellow neon lights under the car, so they were added in 2003 also.

B.J. and Margie go to a lot of car shows and cruises and consistently win top honors and lots of compliments! 

At the 25th annual Falcon Club of America National Convention, B.J. and Margie bought a third Falcon, a Ranchero that
will be Margie's daily driver! They drove it home from Kansas City to Louisville with no problems.
