A 1960 Ford Falcon with a straight axle, altered wheelbase, painted Rolls Royce cloud silver, blue tinted windows, with a big block chevy motor and a 57 olds rear.
Not that I've given this a lot of thought or anything.

Is this rear old enough for ya?

That'll do.
Of course, I had one and all I wanted was the rear end. Perfect for drag cars.

A leaf blower. I hv so many leaves in my bkyard from all these trees.
That way, I wouldn't hv to depend on my gardener all the time, so I 'd save some $$...and it'd be great exercise for me. Id shovel them up in to the garbage can too.

You prefer the Olds rear over a Ford 9"? I just put a 9" in my 39 Pontiac Coupe.That'll do.

Oh, I like and have used 9" Fords for lots of our racecars, but, for nostalgia sake, I'd prefer the olds. I recently found on a facebook group a 61 Falcon with a straight axle and 9" ford rearend, set up for chevy small block. I'm keeping it on the back burner in case I can't find a 1960 one.
I regret giving up my old 55 in 2002 that I had since 1966. It was near perfect. glass tilt nose, glass deck lid, 57 olds rear, 46 ford straight axle with transverse spring, 6' ladder bars, engine set back 10%. Hindsight, I guess I should have kept it.

My 39, had the old loose and goosie front end. I cut and put a Mustang II front end. Gave it just the right amount of rake.
We should start a car section on SF!

A lot of what's already been posted. Also: a friend. Also, for my husband to agree to downsize to a smaller place closer--a lot closer--to town.
A friend? Have you none?
