Vehicle Description
With its serious stroker V8 power, upgraded five-speed, and awesome
color combo, it's hard to beat this 1964 Ford Falcon Futura
convertible for vintage top-down fun. It's the extra-sharp looking
classic that has the power and poise to be your favorite
driver.
These second-generation Falcons seemed to strike a nice balance
between American flair and European sensibilities, and the iconic
Wimbledon White paint represents this perfectly. It earns the
iconic English name with crisp sheet metal in the pristine and
proper color - like a pinpoint Oxford shirt. It looks particularly
nice thanks to a high-quality professional respray. So the modern
clearcoat shine loves to showcase the quality of the body. Straight
lines mean the Futura-specific aggressive side streak trim looks
like an almost unbroken line. And when it all looks this good, only
mirror-like chrome bumpers will do. And while this one will impress
you with its first impression, the Ford's Mag 500 wheels are also
there to hit at a more aggressive car beneath the skin.
The black roof looks nice in place, but with the flip of a switch,
it powers down to reveal a stellar red interior. This is the
factory-correct color, and they have made a solid investment to
keep it looking vibrant. You'll even appreciate little details,
like the Futura badging on the door and red convertible boot. And
they upgraded the radio to a retro-style AM/FM unit and modern
speakers to give you better cruising music. In fact, you can really
tell this one was made for driving. The front bucket seats,
upgraded sports steering wheel, and the Omega Kustom Instruments
are all upgrades you're going to love. And have you counted the
gears on the Hurst shifter yet?
While you've already seen some well-integrated upgrades, the best
one is under the hood. Ford's V8s fit nicely in the engine bay of
the best Falcons. But while the factory stopped at 289 cubic inches
in '64, this one has a clean and fresh-looking 347ci stroker motor.
More than just a serious displacement increase, this convertible
has been further upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor,
an aluminum intake, polished cast valve covers, HEI ignition, and
an aluminum radiator w/dual electric fans. So this Falcon can
really fly, and you get full control of it all thanks to the
five-speed manual transmission. Plus, the Flowmaster dual exhaust
gives a nice hint of the powerful sound without jeopardizing its
all-day cruising fun. And this restored classic also has thoughtful
driving features like power steering, power brakes, upgraded front
discs, and modern sport tires.
This is a very thoughtful restoration of a terrific vintage
convertible. Complete classics like this are a rare sight, so don't
miss your chance. Call today!!!
