Anyway its how it is having a ol skool beast to me, you certainly can't expect most of the parts being at pricing of common high volume product, thats life.
Sourcing bits can be a pain but sooner or later searching or someone helps.

Yes true I agree, I will need to accept the fact that getting spares ect will be part and parcel of older cars.

It's going to be a specialist thing getting parts for an XR Falcon, it's not going to be a summit racing job like the Mustang but once you know where to look, it's not going to be a problem, plus there'll be some limited crossover.
Plus you also have this forum, there's enough people with grey hair coming out their ears on this forum who know **** from clay to help with chasing up parts.
You can still buy the speedo cable and brake cables from the original manufacturer, they're still around and they still have the original drawings.
Also when you're all dead none of us are going to give a **** about 1960s/1970s Falcons and Mustangs, so don't worry too much about resale value cause in 25-30 years it'll be worth scrap value, or no one will be able to drive it because unleaded cars will be banned

This forum has always been my go to for a number of things. Since being a member in 2005, I tend to come here to banter, but now that Im looking at another Ford I will be picking everyones brains again.
I'll keep Early Bird Falcon Parts in mind.

Body parts is my biggest concern. Then things like crash pad and seat stuff. It's more of a 'just in case' situation of an accident etc.
