Ford Falcon 351 Cleveland V8 1966

Allmän beskrivning : VERY STRONG RUNNING FALCON W/ SOME ATTITUDE! 351C V8! AUTO, SHAKER HOOD!

Here's a great modded take on a seldom seen Ford classic. This 1966 Ford Falcon Futura features a striking exterior that's sure to draw plenty of attention, and it's armed for action, with a nicely sized, well-equipped motor under the hood to rocket this compact cruiser with plenty of authority.
While the Falcon's modest weight and roomy engine compartment made it a natural for performance enthusiasts, that was a role the model had to grow into, as the earlier versions were marketed more on their practicality. Ford realized the missed opportunity the year this '66 arrived and lengthened its hood a bit more while shortening its rear deck, resulting in this Futura's instantly recognizable muscle car form. A couple of other well-planned add-ons take that performance-centric identity up another notch - a functional shaker hood scoop channels cold dense air to a waiting powerplant and an aggressive spoiler sits on the deck lid. Its white paint is in clean shape and looks to have been recently applied, while the contrasting black decal striping on its rockers not only adds to its appearance, but also offers plenty of protection from debris flying up and making its mark. The Falcon's original design was pretty sharp to begin with, and it's represented well here - the distinctive script and engine ID badging on the front fenders are crisp, the front grille and bumpers on both ends are looking good and everything from front to back lines up well.
There's a comfortable interior inside the doors with both the front buckets and rear bench looking very clean, with plenty of padding and little wear on their black vinyl surfaces, and to the sides, you'll find custom tuck and roll-patterned door panels that add a nice touch. Up front, there's a cool blending of original and aftermarket elements - a Grant GT steering wheel with a sizable tach mounted on its column beckons you to grab ahold and get this classic out on the road, while a trio of additional gauges sit at the center to help monitor engine functions. This interior could be transformed into a top tier driving environment in short order - everything is present and accounted for, and the original gauges are plenty clear, but their casings, as well as some of the other dash fittings, could use some freshening up. Also, replacing the dash pad above, not the most difficult of projects, would make a big difference.
There's a great collection of quality components on hand to make this mid-'60s classic an absolute blast to drive - a light car plus a powerful drivetrain always add up to fun. A 351 Cleveland, one of Ford's most respected classic powerplants, sits between the shock towers, with an Edelbrock Torquer manifold and 4-barrel Holley carb under that black induction scoop, a pair of chrome valve covers on its sides, and an SSR Billet distributor up front. The engine is paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission to make for a low-effort, rock solid drivetrain. A look below reveals a reassuringly solid undercarriage and front disc brakes add fade-resistant stopping power as this vintage Ford rolls on its 14" Keystone wheels outfitted with BF Goodrich T/A radials.
You don't see these on the road much, and sightings of specimens like this 1966 Ford Falcon Futura - looking great and packing serious power - are downright rare. 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.
