Vehicle Description
This 1963 Ford Falcon Futura represents everything you want. It has
a nice history with correct-style V8 power and a long term owner
(47 years!) And that's combined with nice upgrades that include
cold-blowing A/C, a professional respray, and a five-speed.
Falcons have a terrific style all their own that are really getting
to be fully appreciated on the classic car market. This is
especially seen on the up-market Futura trim. The black vinyl roof
shows off the pillarless hardtop profile sets the tone for a great
classic. Its premium status also means this Falcon is dressed up
with plenty of brightwork, including bombsight fender ornaments,
beautiful intricate grille, wide shining bumpers, rocket-inspired
taillights, and the full-length side trim that seems to keep this
coupe pointing forward. It's such a well-done shining package that
the upgraded polished alloys fit right in. All of this shows
exceptionally well on a modern interpretation of the
factory-correct Heritage Burgundy color. But that extra metallic
element tells you they invested in a quality respray, and that also
hints at more investments in the car.
This car was cherished by one owner for nearly half a century, and
in that time, there were some thoughtful upgrades. The interior
might just be the best place to see that. The seats take the
exterior paint and vinyl roof as inspiration for a black and
burgundy two-tone. The door panels also match to deliver a uniform
look inside and out. As a true 1960s classic, there's plenty of
polished trim on the doors, dash, and center console. This is built
for true classic car enjoyment, so there are convenient features,
like a retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner and
cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. Plus, the grippy sports
steering wheel makes this a nice driver's machine. And have you
counted the gears on the Hurst shifter yet?
The motor is the same 260 cubic-inch V8 that found a home in the
early Mustangs. This powerplant is presented nicely in the engine
bay with the bright red air topper and matching valve covers. All
the essentials look well maintained, right down to the belts,
wires, and hoses. You'll also notice the upgrade to an aluminum
radiator w/electric fan. This one fires up readily and makes a nice
tune out of the dual exhaust. And you really get to take full
control of the V8 power thanks to the upgraded five-speed manual
transmission.
Complete with owner's manual and title documentation, you can see
how this Falcon can easily outshine its Mustang offspring at the
car shows. A hardy V8, five-speed, custom interior, and dazzling
paint... who knew true distinction could be this affordable? Call
