Vehicle Description
Rare Falcon Sprint Convertible 260ci V8 Power Convertible Top Power
Steering Dual Exhaust Although actually produced from 1960 to 1970,
Edsel Ford actually conceived the "Falcon" name back in 1935 but
ultimately decided not to produce this�vehicle under the�Ford
name�giving�birth to the Mercury line. A redesign changed the
Falcon's looks for 1964. The new look was more squared-off, more
modern, as Ford pursued the youth market. Later in 1964, Ford's new
offering for that market was launched, the Ford Mustang, based
heavily on the Falcon's unitized frame design but with no
compromises about its youthful fun intention. For the 1964 year,
Ford added a Sprint Package which gave the Falcon a�260 V8, stiffer
suspension, a louder exhaust and chrome engine dress up goodies.
Because the Mustang had the same options that the Sprint had for
only a small amount more, the Sprint never caught on resulting in
low production and sales numbers. Even with the addition of the 289
V8 in late 64 the Sprint was overshadowed by the Mustang, and was
discontinued after 1965. The Mustang dealt Falcon sales in North
America a blow from which they would never recover. MotoeXotica is
pleased to represent this fine example of the '64 Falcon Sprint.
