Stock exhaust manifolds with free flowing mufflers, and the stock "Sprint" chrome valve covers. It has an edelbrock intake, and a holley 4 barrel carb. It does not leak, or burn any oil or coolant. The engine is a 260, and was rebuilt at some point by a previous owner. The car was converted to an alternator, and charges fine. The gas gauge, speedometer, and coolant temp gauges all work. The deluxe windshield trim has started to pit, and should be rechromed to be perfect. The interior is presentable, but not perfect. The undersides of the fenders look good, and they appear to be orginal, and rust free. The area below the battery box was corroded/rusted, and repaired using fiberglass by a previous owner. The frame rails, and floors are all original, and in very nice shape. A spare valance in similar condition is included in the sale. The rear "Sprint" valance has a dent in it. It was not installed 100% perfect, and is noticeable at the seams. The right rear quarter panel was replaced at some point by a previous owner. Some minor play in the steering linkage.įactory rear operates fine, and is quiet. Starts hot, or cold every time.Īlignment is good. Presenting nicely and operating well, this Sprint convertible is an excellent opportunity to immediately enjoy top-down V8 cruising at its finest.260 V8 engine runs excellent. The original chrome remains as well as most of the interior. In 2003 the engine and exterior were completely restored, the exterior having been repainted in the original two-tone colors. Originally built in the Loraine, Ohio plant, this car is offered directly from an over 20 year family ownership and is presented in semi-restored condition. The Sprint convertible offered here is just that, a very limited and special trophy of the 1960s styling contest. Featuring the desirable V8 engine, it was produced in very limited quantities - likely only 626 V8 convertibles rolling off the assembly line.
#1964 falcon series
At the pinnacle of the series was the Falcon Futura Sprint convertible. Essentially the Falcon line projected what came to be known as "total performance" in the updated styling. Consequently, this fueled demand, and Ford in 1964 had a total annual production of 1,787,535 cars under the leadership of Lee Iacocca.Ī small but important subset of this massive production was the Ford Falcon series which was comprised of the Falcon, Falcon Futura, and Falcon Futura Sprint models. These refinements provided manufacturers with a new look while maintaining mechanical characteristics from previous years. Of the notable design improvements, or refinements as the manufacturer would say, were front grills, arm rests, chrome detail, moldings, dual sun visors and the like. The competitive nature of automotive design and sales in the 1960s led Ford in 1964, to revamp the style of its product line.
