Vehicle Description
This 1964 Ford Falcon Futura has a street machine kind of style,
which is good because it has a solid V8 upgrade to back it up. So
as you look over the whole car, you'll see an intriguing mix of
good fundamentals and a ton of potential.
Wimbledon White is a great classic Ford color. After all, the
Shelby Mustangs that were coming within a year of this Falcon were
all going to be that paint. So the way this one is presented today
has an interesting vibe. It has the kind of anti-luster that looks
like it earned its stripes on the street and track. So if you love
patina, this has a similar appeal. The gray painted bumpers and
dual exhaust tips add to the performance attitude. There's an
awesome form to the competition-style American Racing Torq Thrust
wheels with an extra meaty rear set for the right stance. Of
course, you might also recognize how complete the trim is from the
hood ornament to the Futura's premium full-length side spear. It
will get your mind thinking about what this one would look like
with a full respray. A complete blackout (including the bumpers)
would enhance the mean machine attitude. Or maybe you go with a
vibrant yellow with blue racing stripes that makes this look like a
can't-miss racecar. No matter the future you choose for this Falcon
Futura, it will always have the appeal of a true hardtop
classic.
The interior is quite vintage, and it does this classic style with
a tasteful flair. A black and white style is intertwined on the
dash, carpeting, headliner, and two rows of bench seats. And the
door panels do a great job of tying the full package together. The
aged wood-like trim of the dash and the AM radio that's still there
for a display are part of the vintage vibe. But this one remains a
true driver. The dual-spoke steering wheel has an inviting grip,
and the factory gauges are supplemented by a newer temp readout
under the dash.
This earns its street machine looks with a cool upgrade under the
hood. This was born a six-cylinder coupe, but it was upgraded to a
289 cubic-inch V8. It's the ideal motor because 1964 was the first
year it was available in the Falcon, and we also all know how hardy
these are. Plus, it's now topped with a Quick Fuel four-barrel
carburetor. This was also given an upgraded distributor, Moroso
Blue Max plus wires, an aluminum radiator, and an upgraded dual
exhaust. That makes for a strong motor that's quite fun in a small
Falcon. Plus, a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and wide tires afforded by wheel upgrade give this a good
all-around driver feeling.
This is a distinct classic with a true street machine appeal. So if
you love a road-ready Falcon or are looking to put a personal touch
on a classic hardtop, call today!
