Vehicle Description
With its V8 power, a great factory color combination, and power
folding roof, it's hard to beat this 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint
convertible for vintage top-down fun on a budget.
The Ford Falcon is the car that fathered the Mustang, and now that
it has matured into vintage status, you can really see the grown-up
appeal on this convertible. This is especially true when the
economy car roots are erased on the top of the line Futura trim.
The bright work gives this car its premium appeal, and so it's
great to see everything complete, including the beautiful chrome
bumpers, intricate grille, rocket-inspired taillights, and the
Futura side trim that seems to keep this convertible pointing
forward. Even the wire wheel covers are correct on this classic.
All of this shows exceptionally well against a shiny application of
the factory-correct Rangoon Red.
The white convertible top gives this one a sunny day personality
even when the weather isn't as nice. But with the flip of a switch,
the power top goes down to reveal a different personality. After
all, a black bucket seat interior instantly gives this one a more
powerful presence. Plus, there's plenty of shine on the door
panels, dash, and center console to make this one the kind of
classic presence you'll love sharing with the world. Everything
looks correct from the three-spoke steering wheel, to the
heat/defrost controls, to the factory AM radio that's still on
display. And the center-mounted tach is a special feature to remind
you that this is a range-topping V8 Falcon Futura Sprint.
Not only does this one carry the correct colors inside and out, but
also the 260 cubic-inch V8 under the hood is believed to be
original to the car. It was rebuilt over its lifetime, and there's
also plenty of flair with the valve covers, air topper, and other
components polished for a bright shine. The engine is the same V8
that found a home in the early Mustangs, and when combined with a
Holley four-barrel carburetor and a Flowmaster dual exhaust, this
one gives you plenty of hints at pony power. But with features like
power steering and the Ford-o-Matic automatic transmission (also
believed to be original,) you really know this one was built to be
a great all-day cruiser.
The Futura Sprint convertible was the top-of-the-line Falcon, and
even cost more than a base Mustang when it debuted the next year.
Not many were willing to pay this much, and thus, this is the
rarest of the '63 Falcons by far. So when you can find a high
quality example with great originality and a value price, you know
this is a deal that will be moving quickly. Call now!
