Vehicle Description
There is something fantastic when someone puts serious 408ci V8
power into the lightweight body of a 1964 Ford Falcon Futura. But
more than just brutally powerful, when you check out the everything
from the shine of the bumpers, to the presentation of the engine
bay, you begin to realize the details were a priority, too.
The right paint can set the tone for the ideal first impression,
and this one gets it right. It's the Bright Blue Atlantic Metallic
from PPG, and since there's only about 4,000 miles on this whole
build, it has the depth to radiate nicely in the sunshine. So this
Falcon can draw in attention even when it's parked. And these
second-gen Falcons really got the look right. They retained the
afterburner-style taillights, and up front, there's a bit more
overhang for a more aggressive appearance. And with the full-length
Futura trim looking like an arrow pointing this car forward, these
were quite sporty compacts. Add to that upgrades like the 408
fender callouts, dual exhaust tips, and iconic Magnum 500 wheels
(with Falcon center caps) and this is a well-finished total
package.
Inside there have been nice concessions for comfort like fresh
carpeting, custom door panels, and newer seat covers with comfy
cloth. There's even provisions for an upgraded AM/FM stereo. But
from the moment you sit down, you know this was really built for
performance. The classic-style wood and chrome steering wheel
offers a nice grip; the auxiliary readout give you a clear picture
of what's going on under the hood; and your right hand may never
want to leave the Hurst shifter.
You're going to want to pop the hood every time you park this
Falcon, because there was a terrific investment in the engine bay.
Not only did they paint the fender walls to match the exterior, but
also the valve covers, power steering pump, pulleys, and so much
more. And the components that are not blue are either a gloss black
of a bright polish. So you might just win awards for the
presentation alone. But more than just look outstanding, this V8 is
also a true powerhouse. It's a 351 cubic-inch Windsor motor stroked
to 408ci total. According to the consignor, it has been blue
printed and balanced. It also has go-fast goodies like a large
Holley 750 CFM double-pumper four-barrel carburetor, hi-rise
intake, and custom ceramic-coated long tube headers. You have
complete control over this monster motor and its thunderous
soundtrack thanks to a close-ratio Ford toploader four-speed manual
transmission. Making sure this power gets to the ground are all the
right strong upgrades. This includes a hydraulic clutch, a Ford
9-inch Detroit Locker rear end, and stout five-lug axles. The
suspension has been given the right investments, too. Up front you
have fresher bushings and a thick sway bar, and the rear is
reinforced with traction bars. Add in power steering, front disc
brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As, you this is one wild Falcon
that's easy to tame.
This is a solid and powerful custom that packs a serious punch in a
lightweight classic package. So you know something this desirable
won't stay in our showroom long. Call today!!!
