Look at the beautiful blue gem.

it a 2 door , V8, four on the floor, 62 Falcon station wagon. I l ove it.

it look immaculate , inside and out, doesn’t say what V8 but it could be a facroty 260, but probably not . I need to hurry up a start a small business so I can have an excuse to buy this as my “work van” I could be a door to door salesmen or something.

That is a thing of beauty!  I wish I didn’t have my collection of tiny cars, otherwise I’d go for that!

There’s a lot to love there. But it’s also 56 years old...and most people I've  met of that age (or older) are wonderful but impractical and often unsuited to modern life. As I approach my own five decade milestone...I have some familiarity with the conundrum of style over substance...and just plain common sense.

Why in the feck does it have a ‘61 instrument box and ‘63 grill and rear lights? The ‘62 and ‘63 front clip parts are more or less interchangeable so it may very well be a ‘62, but what is going on here?

The 260 V8 didn’t show up until ‘63, and almost none were ordered in wagons, because in a standard car the 260 was ordered as a sprint package upgrade from a futura. Ordering it alone was pricey . I would expect if this was a real ‘63 V8 wagon that the owner would have restored it properly and not tried to sell it as a ‘62, but what do I know?

I’m guessing either he picked the parts he liked the most, or the most easily available .

as far as the engine who knows, could be a 305 some one dropped in at some point, or a 289. I don’t know enough to look at an engine and tell what is is.

Get that young man of yours a paper route.  Sure he might need a little help for a few tax relieving years that slowly chip away at the note on this.  What’s important is he learn the value of supporting your car buying habit.

Hey, at least your tastes only reflect appreciation of your parents. I’ve been going full great-grandparent with my late ‘30's Buick s and similar.

I am no person to nitpick about mixing and matching Falcon parts, as somebody who modified a ‘60 grill and ‘62 headlight surrounds to put on a ‘63, along with Ford Cortina taillights and ‘72 Mustang repro bumpers. But “restored”? Nah, bro.

I don’t think there is an easy way to tell a 260 from a 289 from a 302 just from a picture like that, unless that weird dizzy cap is somehow unique to one of them. Easiest is to look on the intake manifold, I think.
