Another eBay Model A

I have model A's. A friend of mine likes comets, & falcons. Aside form the ridiculous asking price from a new ebayer, Looks like we have the best of both worlds
 
What makes it even goofier, is that it's not even a '64 Falcon. '64's were restyled with new sheet metal. Looks like a '63 grill. The price is outrageous too. Another clueless soul.

The description also says it's a right hand drive car ? Not a car guy trying to sell this one.

This one is at least in good shape. The air cleaner says it's a 144 six cylinder. With an automatic trans. ? I always heard the auto trans wasn't available with the 144 six, because they didn't have enough balls to make it up the car hauler ramps at the factory.

My late father in law had a 144 engine in his Falcon and a 2 speed auto slush box ******. I remember a few hills where we had to get out and push while the driver kept the throttle on the floor to get up them. It was the most gutless car I have ever driven but it cruised all day at 70mph.

I can believe that about the haulers but I am pretty sure they did come with autos as an option from the get go in 1960. The 170 didn't come out till 61. Been looking for a 60-63 Falcon for a while and about 8/10 that I've seen have been autos.. many with 144s. Wonder why autos were so popular if they were so gutless?
