if want a car to build value you have to get something that is rare or super desirable.

basiclly steve b nailed it, it's a cool car but a falcon with a six banger in it isn't going to be a huge demand item. unless it's mint with like 4 miles on it.

put a 302 in it, parts are everywhere new and used and you can make nice power with one fairly inexpensive, and i know you are used to hondas and such so i'll take it easy on ya.

fords don't get SWAPPED! just put a new motor in the freaking thing.
