Ford Falcon Futura . Feast your eyes on this imperfect, incomplete, and inexpensive 1964 Ford Falcon Sport Futura Sedan 4R11U157765. This car is not a show car, numbers matching, or built to race (it is peppy). That said--it is nice enough to get folks attention, spark a conversation, and cruise about in. It has an original Falcon, three-speed, manual transmission that is harnessed to a three hundred and two cubic inch power-plant; this engine used to reside in a 1970 Mercury Cougar. The engine has been rebuilt, but this work was completed by a previous owner. The exterior paint was also done prior to my ownership; it is stage one, black, and preserves the car well. If you want a show car, then you will need to long-block the exterior, and then repaint it. I have replaced the original distributor and its related components with an HEI distributor (so much better). I have installed a new aluminum intake, a 600 CFM 4-barrel, double-pumper carburetor, and a custom-painted tachometer (to monitor the newly created, and oh, so welcomed horsepower). My next project is involves the randr of the wiring system with a new harness and upgraded fuse panel $120.00; this will remedy my speedometer light not working. I have done a few more things: installed a new starter and solenoid, heater core and hoses, custom dual exhaust, a new fuel tank, a new sending unit, and a new fuel pump. The tires have a few hundred miles on them, but they still look new. The windshield is new, as are the seat belts, Procar seats (very comfortable and fully adjustable), floor insulation, and the custom, pre-molded carpet. The Rangoon Red interior panels were refinished 2 months ago. The rear seat is original, but I have not restored it. The old car still needs a headliner, door panels, felts, door seals, rear glass gasket, and a mat/cover for the truck, and a console if you desire one. The only rust on this vehicle is superficial; Magnets stick nearly everywhere on this vehicle. There are more things that need to be done, but I think I have covered the bulk of this cars needs. While this car is still yearning for a little more restoration, one, potentially you--could soon enjoy a fun-filled cruise or a nostalgic conversation with a stranger after you assume ownership of this classic car. Have a great day.
