Long before the Mustang became a household name, Ford was already
proving that compact cars and V8 performance could go hand in hand.
The Falcon Sprint was introduced to bridge the gap between economy
and excitement, giving buyers sporty styling, V8 power, and a more
upscale driving experience in a lightweight package. Today, Sprint
models have become some of the most desirable Falcons ever
produced, and finding one as a convertible makes them even more
sought after.
Finished in timeless Wimbledon White, this 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint
Convertible is a beautiful example of one of Ford's earliest
factory performance compacts. Carrying its original F-code 260
cubic-inch V8 engine, this Falcon retains the powerplant that made
the Sprint package special. Paired with a smooth-shifting two-speed
automatic transmission, it delivers effortless cruising while
providing the unmistakable sound and feel of a classic small-block
Ford. The combination of lightweight construction and V8 power
makes these cars an absolute pleasure to drive, whether around town
or on weekend backroad cruises.
The Sprint package added far more than just performance.
Distinctive Sprint badging, unique trim, bucket seats, a center
console, and the signature faux wood-grain Sprint steering wheel
gave the Falcon a sporty personality that stood apart from the
standard models. Original factory gauges remain in place, while a
retro-style radio offers modern convenience without taking away
from the car's period-correct appearance.
Power steering and power brakes make this Falcon especially
enjoyable behind the wheel, while the power-operated convertible
top allows for easy open-air motoring at the touch of a button.
Riding on Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires, the car
has an unmistakable Ford performance look that perfectly
complements its clean body lines and classic proportions. A
matching convertible boot is also included for a finished
appearance when the top is folded down.
One of the highlights of this Falcon is its remarkably solid
condition. The undercarriage appears to retain its original sheet
metal and presents as an exceptionally clean, rust-free example.
The body is straight, the interior has been well cared for, and the
overall presentation reflects years of careful ownership.
Mechanically, the car starts easily, runs strong, and provides the
reliable driving characteristics that make it an ideal classic to
enjoy on a regular basis. The healthy 260 V8 delivers a smooth idle
and classic exhaust note that perfectly suits the car's
personality.
As with many well-preserved classics, this Falcon is not
represented as a freshly restored show car. There are a few minor
paint imperfections that can be seen in the accompanying photos,
but they do little to detract from its overall appearance and allow
the next owner to drive and enjoy the car without unnecessary
concern.
The Falcon Sprint occupies an important place in Ford performance
history as one of the company's first compact V8 performance models
and a direct predecessor to the legendary Mustang. Convertible
Sprint models are considerably harder to find than their hardtop
counterparts, making this a particularly desirable configuration
for collectors. Combining its original F-code 260 V8, attractive
Wimbledon White finish, desirable Sprint equipment, solid
undercarriage, and enjoyable driving manners, this 1964 Ford Falcon
Sprint Convertible represents an outstanding opportunity to own an
increasingly collectible piece of Ford history. Whether you're
looking for a dependable weekend cruiser, a local show favorite, or
an important addition to a Blue Oval collection, this Falcon Sprint
is ready to be enjoyed.
