For Sale: 1963 Ford Falcon in Golden, Colorado

This happening car is in excellent, drive-away condition. I will list out all the details below. This car is 1963 1/2, exceedingly rare, only 4,602 produced total, with a fraction of that number convertibles. Fun fact: This car has the same body and engine as the original Mustang (1964 1/2).

Why am I selling it? Growing family. Need garage space for teenagers and wife.

History? I bought this car only a few months ago as a source of fun and bonding for me and my 19 year-old. She has since unexpectedly moved on in life and now I need the garage space for my wife's impending new car. Besides a new fuel pump, I have made zero modifications since I bought this. The prior owner bought it in 1984 and understood he was buying it from the original owner. By his estimation and mine, the car is close to 100% original (engine, transmission, drive train, exhaust, wheels/hubcaps, glass, interior, etc). He did put on tires, a new top and had a paint job, but the engine is the original V8 260 and the interior to my reckoning is  almost 100% original. The odometer was broken prior to 1984, so we don't have accurate mileage on the engine. That said, the motor is very smooth (164 HP) with absolutely no major leaks or red flags. 

Specs: 260 V8, Automatic transmission, 2 barrel carb, original intake/exhaust, power steering, drum brakes all around, power convertible top, AM radio. Black top, black vinyl interior. Heater.

Perfections/Imperfections? For a car in it's age and class, it's in absolutely excellent condition. A first-class restore would be easy to achieve, if that's your interest.

• Mechanical - Smooth engine, starts easy, solid battery, new fuel pump and filter, new plugs and points. Carburetor recently rebuilt. Manual brakes work fine but probably ready for a standard brake job. Cooling system seems fine, exhaust in good condition, muffler is fine.  I like the steering as is, but someone else may want to tighten slightly. Left blinker needs new front bulb.
• Wheels/Tires - Wheels and hubcaps seem original. Tires have plenty of tread. Spare wheel/tire in trunk.
• Upholstery/Carpet - Dash in good shape, carpet good/acceptable all over, back seat essentially perfect, passenger side front seat perfect, passenger side door upholstery excellent. Driver's seat is in very good shape overall but has a tear at the back of the lower portion (see pic).  Driver side door in fair condition.
• Instrument panel - Speedometer, gas gauge, tachometer, heater, headlights/taillights all work (also brights). AM radio plays but could use some work. Heat gauge apparently not working (probably sensor/wiring), odometer broken.
• Glass - No cracks or chips all around. Windshield seems original.
• Door/window handles - All are in place, working, and seem original. The left rear triangular window is a bit stubborn coming up.
• Paint - the car was painted maroon by the prior owner and is in excellent shape. There are a few small flaws around the trunk (see pics). I don't see any signs of rust.
• Other - Spacious, carpeted and clean trunk. Glove box opens and shuts properly.
