Ford Falcon 260 V8 1963

Allmän beskrivning : GREAT OPEN AIR CRUISER! SMOOTH RUNNING 260 V8, AUTO, POWER TOP, GREAT COLORS!

Here's a great example of the forerunner to Ford's muscle cars in a very appealing, open air form. This 1963 Ford Falcon Futura convertible has been lightly travelled since a restoration that left it looking sharp and running strong. It represents "the road less travelled" as far as vintage Fords are concerned, as you don't see many of its counterparts on the road anymore, and offers a solid, fulfilling vintage driving experience by way of its smoothly performing drivetrain.
Noble-looking and yet unassuming at the same time, this Falcon will put a smile on your face with just a quick glance. Its Peacock blue exterior is flat out magnetic - it's easy to see why this shade is so closely associated with calming the nerves and it displays a nice solid shine in this setting. It's ornamented by a collection of chrome that all represents well - the bumpers both fore and aft are straight and level, and the trim, badging and other bright work throughout is securely mounted and shows no glaring dings or divots. When a change in the weather calls for increased protection, there's a vinyl convertible top tucked neatly under its tonneau cover that's ready to spring into action. Its light tan color represents a nice change from more commonly encountered shades and really looks great against the blue of the rest of the exterior and its plastic rear window is crystal clear for maximum visibility.
The turquoise interior sports its original color and will transport you straight back to the early '60s just as soon as you climb inside. The front bench has recently been refurbished to its former glory, looking just as well-padded and inviting as it did when this Falcon first left the showroom floor. Its rear counterpart is still carrying what is likely its original cover, but whether due to light usage or extreme caution it, too, is looking pretty darned impressive, and both rows of seating loom over carpeting that's also aged well. The generously proportioned original steering wheel still holds its place on the column, while the dash area just beyond it is a definite high point for this Ford classic, harboring functional and readable gauges in its instrument cluster, as well as a full assortment of ivory-colored control knobs. The trunk area presents well - its interior walls look straight and sturdy and a full size spare is standing by on its vinyl lined floor.
The engine compartment looks pretty much as it did when this Falcon first hit the road, with a period-correct 260 cubic inch V8 sitting at its center, wearing a very sharp orange air cleaner and a pair of matching valve covers. The inner fenders, firewall and shock towers carry a coat of black paint to maintain their factory appearance and the assortment of belts and hoses they contain all look fresh and road ready. This '63 is a very solid driver - it holds the road well, its engine is running smooth and sounds great, while the 2-speed Ford-O-Matic transmission just behind it provides nice, precise shifts. 13" stock wired hubcaps add even more to its thoroughly appealing vintage vibe and are wrapped with Cooper Trendsetter tires.
This 1963 Ford Falcon Futura convertible offers the chance to put a nostalgia inducing, solid driving memento of the early '60s in your garage. 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
