1965 Ford Falcon Sprint V8 - Forerunner to the Mustang For Sale

A rare 1965 Ford Falcon Sprint V8 Automatic with a powerful built 289 and the expensive "Tri-power" carburettor set-up. I have just imported this genuine LA-built '63D' Code Sprint from long-term enthusiast ownership in San Francisco and still have the old Black Plates it wore. Always cherished, it looks beautiful in the rare factory Caspian Blue metallic paint with matching original 2-tone blue bucket seat interior and is in exceptional rust-free condition with superb chrome and stainless trim.

Although stock appearing apart from the Superlite wheels (the original steels with Deluxe Falcon caps are included), the car has been uprated with a professionally built 289 running the expensive triple-carb Autolite Pony carburettor set-up, dual-plane intake manifold, Falcon Hi-Po headers, fully balanced rotating assembly, 302 heads, Crower camshaft, stud girdle and many other good things including a rebuilt C4 automatic transmission with shift kit and a twin remote oil filter kit. I would guess it makes a conservative 275-300+hp as it gets down the road very well, shifting gears crisply accompanied by a deep rich sound from the dual exhaust and Hooker Aerochamber mufflers. On stock rims it is quite the sleeper...

A period front 'Granada' disc brake conversion with a dual master cylinder is fitted and usefully it has factory power steering which is nice and light. It is also on recent KYB shocks and has been subtly lowered all round although there are many further suspension upgrades you could do including a Shelby Drop kit. If I were keeping it I would add a brake booster as it currently goes much better than it stops!

I know Falcons well having owned a handful of the nicest ones now in the UK and couldn't resist this car. In case you don't know, the first Mustang was built on the same chassis and drivetrain as these and the 2-door hardtop "Sprint" in particular is far rarer than just about any Mustang, fastbacks included. They are sought after particularly by historic racers as they do make excellent race cars with values continuing to rise. A nice touch is that being a '65 it is allowed to retain the flashing red tail/ indicator lights. It looks great, particularly at dusk in that colour which changes with the light and the V8 rumbling away on a lopey idle from the cam.

There are only a handful of genuine Falcon Sprints in the UK and such correct cars are hard to find anywhere. A very useable classic on British roads it is really not that large and will easily fit most UK garages. Enjoyable to use for everything from local shows to daily driving, rallies and tours. These cars attract a great deal of admiration and attention from other enthusiasts and this is UK registered with a full MOT (although is now exempt) and UK plates. Included is a literally inches’ thick folder of paperwork and receipts showing caring ownership, including a photo of the last owner proudly collecting it back in 1995 along with various manuals.

Due to my long-standing classic car hobby I have some trusted road transport contacts so can help arrange delivery anywhere. The Falcon is available to view in Amersham, Bucks, but I can email more information and photos if you live some distance away. You are welcome to call me for a good old-fashioned chat too - I will call back if you text or leave a message.
