Vehicle Description
A car like this 1964 Ford Falcon Futura is built to be an awesome
cruiser. After all, you have solid V8 power, vibrant paint, modern
wheels, and cold-blowing A/C through the inside. And you just know
a hardtop like this looks terrific going down the road.
The paint was upgraded to a bright red later in life. The
attractive gloss makes for quite a nice way to showcase the clean
lines of this coupe. There are good fundamentals, like clean glass,
nice bezels, an intricate grille, and shining chrome bumpers. And
we all love the full-length tapered side trim that makes this look
like an arrow always moving forward. Plus, there have been some
cool brightwork additions, like the dual exhaust tips and large
17-inch polished American racing wheels. It all makes for a
distinct and unmistakably classic package.
The interior gives this coupe a full red package inside and out
that's always attractive on a hardtop. After all, when you roll
down all the windows, people just can't help but take a look
inside. So we're glad to see a nice look to essentials like the
door panels, carpeting, and upgraded seats with comfy cloth
inserts. You'll also love comfort features like the cold-blowing
air conditioning, tinted glass, and AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input
that's hidden away in the glove box. And because this likes to let
you cruise in comfort, there's a movable center console with
armrest, storage, and cup holders. And there's a proper driver's
package with upgrades like the wood-rimmed steering wheel, a tilt
column, and a tach.
According to the trim tag, this Falcon rivaled the early Mustangs
for proper V8 cruising power, and so it's nice to see a
correct-displacement 260 cubic-inch motor still under the hood
today. This powerplant is presented nicely in the engine bay with
the chrome valve covers, a matching air grabber with callout, and
the bright blue block. The motor fires right up, and it even gives
a hint of the classic V8 tune from the dual exhaust. And when you
add in the automatic transmission, front disc brakes, and grippy
modern tires, it makes for a solid all-around cruiser.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and build receipts
that help document a thoughtfully done multi-year restoration. This
is a nice classic with the right upgrades to be a distinct and
sharp driver. So don't let this bright hardtop cruiser slip away,
call today!
