Ford Falcon 260 V8 1963

Allmän beskrivning : VERY NICE TOP/BOTTOM/INSIDE, BELIEVED ORIG 260 V8, 4 SPD, RARE CONVT, CORRECT!

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 today!!!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
