Vehicle Description
A top-of-the-line classic convertible restored to top condition is
the kind of car we're always happy to have. And when it's
ultra-rare and ultra-cool like this 1963 Ford Falcon Futura Sprint
convertible, then it's time to take a much closer look.
This is a Falcon for those who like a hint of aggressive nature.
Mag wheels, a V8, and a four-speed are all great sports car pieces,
but this convertible goes further. The factory-correct Rangoon Red
paint has been resprayed with a very professional hand. It gives
the car a deep, glossy appearance that really makes it standout in
all the best ways. In fact, this one catches all the attention
simply because its so well presented. This is due to a full
restoration that took the convertible all the way down to naked
bare metal. That's why the panels look so strait, and the doors
shut with confidence. Plus the top-of-the-line Sprint has plenty of
bright trim, all of which was replaced during restoration if it
didn't meet exacting standards. That's why everything shines like a
mirror, and the full-length arrowhead side accent lines up so
nicely. Best of all, this Falcon was originally ordered for Ford's
#22 Charlotte sales region, which means it likely spent most of its
50+ years right near our showroom!
Beneath the power folding roof is a great matching red interior
that's complete right down to the red convertible boot cover. The
overall effect is a classic uniform feeling that gives this Falcon
an upscale look that always attracts attention. Open the door, and
you'll see that everything looks in place in this nicely restored
interior. Everything from the bucket seats to the heat/defrost
controls looks factory fresh from 1963. The intricate door panels
recall just a touch of the 1950s with their shiny materials and
lots of polished trim. The familiar instrument panel is in
excellent condition. Those who know Sprints will be happy to see
the center-mounted tach, a key factory feature. It's also a
welcomed addition, because this is a true driver's car with an
upgraded floor-mounted four-speed manual transmission.
Stuffing a 260 cubic inch V8 in a lightweight car works really
well... just look at what it did for Carroll Shelby. In this
Falcon, it makes for entertaining acceleration around town, and
it's a lot of fun to play with thanks to an upgrade to a four-speed
manual transmission. This V8 received plenty of attention from the
restoration, which means the numbers-matching powerplant was
expertly rebuilt. So beyond the flashy valve coves and air cleaner
lies the heart of a reliable champion. In fact, it's not just the
motor that was restored. Take a look at the undercarriage shots.
There you can see the restoration budget was pretty substantial
because you're looking at new suspension components, and even the
solid underside has the red oxide primer as the factory would have
it. So this beautiful V8 classic is ready to hit the road.
Complete with a packet that includes seatbelts and decals for the
V8 motor, this Futura Sprint has thought of everything. So don't
think too long on this one because it might be hard to find the
rarest Falcon of them all in such great condition ever again. Call
