Vehicle Description


1964 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible

Exterior

Bedecked in a respray of Raven Black, (Nevermore!), this car has a

few rust bubbles, and the paint presents as nice but in need of a

good buffing and waxing. From its paperclip shaped trim spear

starting from the front and leading to the rear of the back quarter

ending with a crescendo of chromed chevrons, we can see some added

excitement in the form of a flying Falcon badge behind the front

wheels. A clean stainless eggcrate grille with floating highlights

in each crate let the crowd know that you have arrived. The back

panel of this car utilizes turbine style round taillights which

flank a shiny badge with Futura and a runoff textured aluminum rear

trim. Both bumpers are new and pristine, and the newer

professionally installed white convertible top presents to us in

tear free form is very clean and has a clear plastic rear window.

This top is power actuated and goes up and down with ease and

chrome wire hubcaps with faux spinners are wrapped in thin

whitewall rubber and look just fab.

Interior

Swinging one of the doors, it immediately shows off with its red

metal top sill with Futura badging in the center, aluminum

horizontal ribbed trim centerpiece, and some ribbed red vinyl on

the bottom. A handle and a window crank in shiny condition are in

this sea of textural and visual eye candy. In front, a low back

split bench in red vinyl with tuck and roll inserts and smooth

bolsters have a thick cream piping separating them. This carries

through to the rear seats, where see a bench version with another

flying Falcon emblem on the upper cushion, in showroom condition.

The dash front in brushed aluminum matte finish panels which frames

red steel above and below and is fitted with the original gauge

cluster and the original radio which still works, is seen in the

dash. Down low on the dash are the chrome heater slides and a

sprinkling of black knobs and pulls. An original red plastic

steering wheel complete with half round chrome horn ring fronts

this dash and like new red carpet is flooding the floors.

Drivetrain

Sitting in the nicely restored engine bay is a correct 170ci inline

6-cylinder. A beneficiary of a recent rebuild and looking snappy

with the black painted block, red valve cover and air cleaner

assembly. A 2-speed Ford-O-Matic transmission is on back and the

rear axle weighs in with a 3.50 ratio.

Undercarriage

Coated in the factory undercoating and a dose of patina, this car

has no rust, is very sound structurally, and has independent front

with coil springs suspension, a leaf sprung back suspension, and

drum brakes with a dual reservoir master cylinder complete the

package. Single exhaust with a stock style muffler sends spent

gasses to the rear and underneath are just fiiiine-O-mite!
