Youll be hard-pressed to find a garden-variety used carand#44; let alone a cool vintage car with bright red paintand#44; a comfortable interiorand#44; and a peppy yet economical engine for less than the price tag on this 1963 Ford Falcon 2-door sedan. Why not commute in style instead of in some anonymous rental return? Despite its tidy dimensionsand#44; Ford packs a lot of style into its popular compact model. Looking a lot like a 7/8-size Galaxieand#44; it has a bit of Thunderbird in the front fendersand#44; a slick hood scoopand#44; andand#44; of courseand#44; Fords attractive jet-inspired taillights. The bright red paint job on this one accentuates the crisp body lines with two shades of gray that look right on the vintage sheetmetal and give this affordable classic a very upscale look. The workmanship is actually quite goodand#44; which you might not expect at this priceand#44; but someone obviously did this one with love rather than profit as their motive. Is it perfect? Of course not. But aside from a few bumps and bruises that are merely evidence of being driven and enjoyedand#44; its still plenty flashy. Theres also a lot of brightwork that will satisfy any fan of the eraand#44; from the nicely detailed grille and fender ornaments to the bright chrome rear bumper and FALCON block letters on the rear panel. The interior isnt totally correctand#44; but it sure looks great! Those are the original seatsand#44; now covered with handsome red fabric seat inserts that duplicate the original patterns and are a lot more comfortable than the original vinyl. Close to the same shade as the bright red bodyworkand#44; its a combination that would look at home on an upscale European import as much as on this sturdy Ford. They also made up a set of matching door panelsand#44; and fitted red carpets that contrast nicely with the black floor matsand#44; so its clear that some money has been spent here. The steering wheel is nicely finished in red as welland#44; and without so much as an AM radioand#44; it has an honest 1960s look that many of usand#44; tired of technology in our carsand#44; might find refreshing. And despite being a small carand#44; this Falcon has a spacious trunk with what appears to be the original mat and a full-sized spare tire. They say that everything goes in cyclesand#44; and despite the horsepower wars warming up in the early 60sand#44; the Falcon instead went with style and economy instead of brute horsepower. The 170 cubic inch inline-six works well with the lightweight Falconand#44; and delivers impressive fuel mileageand#44; even today. The engine bay is tidyand#44; the block wears correct black engine enamel with bright red tinworkand#44; and all the belts and hoses are recent so its ready to go. It exhales through a single exhaust systemand#44; as originaland#44; and the automatic transmission delivers smooth shifts and remains unobtrusive in traffic. The undercarriageand#44; as you can see in the photosand#44; is clean but not detailed for showand#44; making this a solidand#44; reliable car thats ready for anything. Even the tires are economicaland#44; being modest 185/80/13 whitewall radials with factory wheelcovers. Whatever youre looking forand#44; whether its an affordable hobby car or just fun transportationand#44; this Falcon delivers. Call today! |
