Vehicle Description
Ford knew that not all people who bought a compact were willing to
miss out on premium features. For those who desired V8 power and
style with their lightweight cars, there was the 1963 Ford Falcon
Sprint. So if you're looking for a quite authentic and premium
classic, read on...
The Ford Falcon has really come into its own in the classic car
market. No longer just the car that fathered the Mustang, the
sensible style has matured into an instantly recognizable flair.
This is especially seen on the top of the line Futura trim with
Sprint package. Its premium status means this Falcon is dressed up
with plenty of jewelry, ranging from the arrow-shaped side trim, to
the neat little "bombsight" fender ornaments up front. Even the
wire wheels are correct. It all looks great on a straight hardtop
body that is in its factory-correct shade of Peacock Blue. In fact,
this coupe has exceptionally low mileage thanks to spending the
majority of its life with one owner, and three decades of that in
storage. And since this Falcon was originally ordered for Ford's
#22 Charlotte sales region, it likely spent the last half-century
right near our showroom!
The interior is a two-tone light and dark turquoise vinyl, which is
how the car came from the factory. The dual colors make for a
uniform appearance on the door panels, dash, and seats. It all
coordinates so well with the exterior that you'll love keeping all
the windows of this pillar-less hardtop down so everyone can get a
good look inside. You'll also love showing off the time-capsule
like setup where even the factory-style AM radio is still on
display. But more than just look vintage, this is a driver's
machine. That's why you get the bucket seats with a stylized center
console in-between. The grip of the correct grooved steering wheel
is what classic car motoring is all about.
Stuffing a 260 cubic-inch V8 in a lightweight car works really
well... just ask Carroll Shelby. In this Falcon, it makes for
entertaining acceleration around town, and it's a lot of fun to
play with thanks to its three-speed manual transmission. That V8
nestled between the shock towers just seems to be a cool reminder
of the Mustang linage. As a bonus, it's believed to be original to
the car, and so the added polished components mean you get to show
it off and talk about the V8.
This is a true all-around classic hardtop with style and substance.
Fully sorted and ready to run, this great looking Falcon will be
flying out of our showroom soon. Call now!
