Ford Falcon Inline 6 1963

General description : GREAT DRIVER FALCON, PRICED TO MOVE, 170 I6, AUTO, SOUTHERN CAR, VERY STOCK!!

You'll be hard-pressed to find a garden-variety used car, let alone a cool vintage car with bright red paint, a comfortable interior, and a peppy yet economical engine for less than the price tag on this 1963 Ford Falcon 2-door sedan. Why not commute in style instead of in some anonymous rental return?
Despite its tidy dimensions, Ford packs a lot of style into its popular compact model. Looking a lot like a 7/8-size Galaxie, it has a bit of Thunderbird in the front fenders, a slick hood scoop, and, of course, Ford's attractive jet-inspired taillights. The bright red paint job on this one accentuates the crisp body lines with two shades of gray that look right on the vintage sheetmetal and give this affordable classic a very upscale look. The workmanship is actually quite good, which you might not expect at this price, but someone obviously did this one with love rather than profit as their motive. Is it perfect? Of course not. But aside from a few bumps and bruises that are merely evidence of being driven and enjoyed, it's still plenty flashy. There's also a lot of brightwork that will satisfy any fan of the era, from the nicely detailed grille and fender ornaments to the bright chrome rear bumper and FALCON block letters on the rear panel.
The interior isn't totally correct, but it sure looks great! Those are the original seats, now covered with handsome red fabric seat inserts that duplicate the original patterns and are a lot more comfortable than the original vinyl. Close to the same shade as the bright red bodywork, it's a combination that would look at home on an upscale European import as much as on this sturdy Ford. They also made up a set of matching door panels, and fitted red carpets that contrast nicely with the black floor mats, so it's clear that some money has been spent here. The steering wheel is nicely finished in red as well, and without so much as an AM radio, it has an honest 1960s look that many of us, tired of technology in our cars, might find refreshing. And despite being a small car, this Falcon has a spacious trunk with what appears to be the original mat and a full-sized spare tire.
They say that everything goes in cycles, and despite the horsepower wars warming up in the early '60s, the Falcon instead went with style and economy instead of brute horsepower. The 170 cubic inch inline-six works well with the lightweight Falcon, and delivers impressive fuel mileage, even today. The engine bay is tidy, the block wears correct black engine enamel with bright red tinwork, and all the belts and hoses are recent so it's ready to go. It exhales through a single exhaust system, as original, and the automatic transmission delivers smooth shifts and remains unobtrusive in traffic. The undercarriage, as you can see in the photos, is clean but not detailed for show, making this a solid, reliable car that's ready for anything. Even the tires are economical, being modest 185/80/13 whitewall radials with factory wheelcovers.
Whatever you're looking for, whether it's an affordable hobby car or just fun transportation, this Falcon delivers. Call today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
