Vehicle Description
Very rare Sprint convertible, probably the sportiest of all the
Falcons. They were even hard to come by when they were new! Known
as 63 1/2s because they didn't start production until mid year. The
Sprint package included a V-8 motor, a little beefier suspension,
unique exterior trim and inside it included a tachometer, bucket
seats with console and a wood grained steering wheel that says
Sprint in the horn button. This one is exceptionally handsome too.
The colors, wheels and cloth top are very rich looking. It won an
AACA national first prize in 1988 and has been restored and
maintained as needed to keep it in top shape. Shipped to us from a
collector in Florida along with his Mustang and T-bird. He has
always had nice cars.
EXTERIOR: What a handsome car. Very nice lines, curves and
dimensions. This one has a fantastic body. It is straight with
tight body gaps. Paint is gorgeous. It's not a muddy burgundy, it
has plenty of pop. The metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear
finish is polished like glass. Chrome and trim are bright. Bumpers,
fender spears, side moldings, mirror, handles, trunk lock all look
new. Upgraded chrome GT wheels with color matched inserts and new
tires. Another wonderful upgrade is the burgundy German cloth
top.
INTERIOR: Inside the car is in excellent shape. I open the door and
the interior lights work. The cushions have been replaced so the
upholstery fits tight. Has the cool chrome piping in the seats too.
Door panels look new, has the chrome foil trim. Has a chrome
console in between the seats with the original owner's manual
inside. Nice, clean dash area. Dash pad is mint, has original
Sprint tachometer. There is also a factory clock which must be rare
because I don't remember seeing another one. The plastic wood
grained steering wheel is excellent, no cracks. A stereo is neatly
tucked under the dash and has aftermarket kick panels with speakers
molded in.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Very tidy, proper and clean. There's a Sprint
260 V-8 dressed with original chrome valve covers and air cleaner.
It is upgraded with a Durashine intake and plated Holley 4 barrel
carb. Has power steering and the pump has a chromed top. There is
also an aluminum support brace. The engine bay is clean, smooth
metal painted satin black and has original Vin stamp.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's clean, has mat and spare with cover..
UNDERSIDE: Looks rock solid. Frame rails, seams and welds look
factory original. Has a nice Flowmaster dual exhaust system.
Upgraded with front and rear sway bars. Springs, shocks, ball
joints look replaced.
