Ford Falcon 289 V8 1965

Allmän beskrivning : SMOOTH RUNNING FALCON DROP TOP, 289 V8, C4 AUTO, GREAT CLASSIC LOOK!

For a car originally conceived to provide dependable transportation, the Falcon has enjoyed quite a life as a coveted classic for restoration. It was a relatively compact car based on the standards of its day, and its reliable design would go on to influence several other Ford models to come. It's great to see this 1965 Ford Falcon Futura greet the present in good form and ready for the next phase of its life. This venerable ride is in solid shape to drive as is, or if you prefer, it can provide a rock-solid foundation for any upgraded components you might wish to add.
At a time when most other cars remained substantially sized, Ford stuck to its guns and resisted the temptation to noticeably enlarge the Falcon over the years. While it's certainly no subcompact, it's a compact, sporty looking ride, with a squared off appearance that distinguishes it from its predecessors. The deep maroon paint this '65 wears looks nice, showing no major blemishes, and the long stretches of white on its sides add some effective additional detail. From the grille and Ford lettering that sit over a table-level bumper in front, to the futuristic round taillights in back, all of its chrome is present and accounted for, though some of it could use a little polishing to bring out its best. Some very adept modification work was done to provide the dual exhaust with just the right amount of extension below the rear bumper. A contrasting power white convertible top has been recently added to this open-air cruiser for protection from uncooperative weather and it rises into place without issue, fits great and features a clear plastic rear window.
The black vinyl interior has come through the years in good shape. The seating shows only minor wear up front and virtually none in back and looks sharp over clean black carpeting. The woodgrain steering wheel sitting on its column is about the only deviation from factory configuration inside, and the components that surround it still present well. The dash area is particularly impressive - its individual panels still line up and the broad speedometer and round gauges to either side of it remain clear and easily readable. The dash pad does show some cracking, but that's an easy fix. For a modestly sized car, there's a surprising amount of legroom in back - no contortions needed from your backseat passengers. The trunk area is also fairly spacious, its floor lined with signature Ford fabric.
The engine compartment has held onto its stock look and is nice and clean. A 289-cubic inch V8 fits well between the shock towers, looking sharp with its chrome air cleaner and valve covers. The 289 has forged a strong reputation for its complaint-free durability - there are still a substantial number of them on the road many decades after they were first introduced and, true to form, the one on display here still starts promptly, teaming with a 3-speed automatic C4 transmission to make up a dependable, low-effort drivetrain. A look below will reveal an impressive undercarriage, with solid-looking floorpans and straight suspension components. This sharp looking classic rides on a set of 14" stock Ford wheels outfitted with Cornell 1000 tires.
It's a rare find to begin with, and the solid condition of this 1965 Ford Falcon Futura makes it even more so. 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.
