Ford Falcon Sprint 289 V8 1965
General description :
With a great-looking hardtop profile, proper V8 power, and interior, this 1965 Ford Falcon Sprint shows that it really delivers the right features you really want in a cool cruiser.
This may have been the debut year for the Mustang, but the Falcon in premium Sprint trim was really stealing some of the thunder from its close sibling. After all, a pillarless hardtop version like this has a steeper rake in the rear that adds some very sporty style. And the full-length trim with white insert looks like a sharp arrow pushing this coupe forwards. Plus, details like the front overhang and afterburner-style taillights made the whole package quite stylish. The bumpers and brightwork look original but shining, and the factory-correct Rangoon Red has aged to match. So while you may decide to make some improvements down the road, we already really like how this one represents an interesting time in Ford history, and does with a very stock style.
The exterior is red with white accenting, and those colors return inside. You can see there was a nice investment in the right fundamentals later in life, including a newer headliner, nice carpeting, and bright white upholstery. While the style of this coupe is absolutely vintage - right down to the working AM radio - it also loves to keep you comfortable. That's why you have features like front bucket seats with a center console in-between.
Another great parallel to the Mustang is that the '65 Falcon was available with the mighty 289 cubic-inches V8. Since this is a C-code coupe, we're especially glad to still have the proper V8 under the hood. The bright blue block even has the look of a fresh respray. In fact, this motor runs so strong we wouldn't be surprised if there was also a solid investment in mechanical maintenance during the same time. More than just a good motor, the power steering and smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission make for a great anytime driver.
This is the premium Falcon Sprint that really likes to offer the style and substance of a driver's classic. So don't miss this deal, 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.
