This is an excellent, unrestored 1964 Ford Falcon Futura Sport.
Owned by its current family since 1965!It has one repaint, a new
convertible top and regular maintenance over the course of its
life. It's believed to have 147,000 original miles. The interior is
a true time machine as it shows minimal wear and tear for its age.
The 260 V8 and 4 speed combo is a bullet proof setup that was used
in the Falcon lineup among other models. The transmission shifts
smooth and the car feels great overall. The 260 idles nicely and
runs strong. The power steering is a nice touch on this model and
was not seen commonly on the Falcon lineup. All of the electronic
accessories and idiot lights works!With the flip of a switch, the
power convertible top folds down and the whole family can be
cruising around town in style.
History;
Ford knew that not all people who bought a compact were willing to
miss out on premium features. For those who desire style and
comfort with their lightweight cars, there was the 1964 Ford Falcon
Futura convertible.The 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 profile. In fact, these second-generation Falcons
seemed to strike a nice balance between American flair and European
sensibilities, and the Vintage Burgundy paint represents this
perfectly. After all, the deeper hue has the attractiveness of red,
but a more sophisticated tone that makes this drop top look more
refined. But then you also get those true American touches like the
extra wide chrome bumpers, bright factory wheel covers, and
Futura-specific aggressive side streak trim that looks like an
arrow pointing this Falcon forward.
