Vehicle Description
This nasty little 1969 Ford Falcon is a high-impact horsepower
factory that puts "power" in power-to-weight ratio. Without a lot
of mass to push around, the built 302 under the hood is a massive
over-achiever to make this neat little coupe a very dangerous
adversary on the streets.
The little Falcon gets big props for going all-in with the bright
yellow paint job. If you squint just a bit, you can definitely see
signs of the first-generation Mustang in its sheetmetal,
particularly from the rear � view, but the truth is that most folks
will have a lot of questions about this car when they see it.
Fortunately, it'll stand up to the scrutiny with shiny paint over
decent bodywork that doesn't let you down. It's not perfect and it
isn't a show car, but for this kind of money it's more car than
you'd ever dream of getting. Door fit is acceptable, the final cut
and buff on the paint brought out a fantastic shine, and with
body-colored bumpers, it has a subtle, custom look that really
works. A lot of the original chrome and trim does remain in place,
and provides a nice contrast to the Chrome Yellow paint, with items
like the grille being in particularly good shape. Kudos to the
builder for resisting the urge to add stripes, scoops, and
spoilers, making this neat Falcon a very purposeful-looking
machine.
The simple black bucket seat interior remains 100%
business-oriented without losing its sense of style, New seat
covers front and back have a great late-60s look and the compact
interior is actually quite comfortable. The instrument panel is a
neat-looking symmetrical housing with a wide speedometer in the
center and heater controls on the right (note that the heater core
is bypassed but the fan works). You can really tell how focused on
performance these guys were when they were putting this car
together, as even though the original AM radio is still in place,
they did add a Polk stereo system that is controlled through an
auxiliary input... a nice modern touch. The carpets are probably a
few years old and show some light fading, but they're in good shape
and I wouldn't worry about it. Auxiliary gauges under the dash
monitor oil pressure, temperature, and voltage and that shifter is
linked to a C4 3-speed automatic transmission that has been freshly
rebuilt. No power-robbing options, no weight-adding accessories,
just a clean, no-nonsense interior that's ready to rumble.
The robust and freshly rebuilt 302 cubic inch V8 is a formidable
performer anywhere it's installed, but put it in a car with a curb
weight of under 3000 pounds and you suddenly have a car with the
power-to-weight ratio of a Cobra Jet Mustang. Topped with a
2-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock intake manifold, throttle
response is RIGHT NOW. And you can easily see that a lot of money
went into the engine bay, whose satin black inner fenders and
chrome dress-up parts, not to mention the Ford Blue engine itself,
all look awesome. Long-tube headers feed a custom Flowmaster
exhaust system with turn-downs just ahead of the rear axle, which
is a rugged 8-inch that won't sweat it when you nail the throttle.
Brand new chrome torque thrust wheels totally fit the part and wear
215/60R15 radials.
This cool Falcon represents a load of performance in a
reasonably-sized package, all at a very attractive price. Call
