Description of 1963 Ford Falcon Futura

If you can find a wilder custom build than this one, ou wouldn't be able to hang a license plate on it. This 1963 Ford Falcon Futura is on the ultimate go-fast diet, hat includes huge weight savings and a powerful V8, o create the coolest intimidation on wheels you'll ever see.There is no mistaking the cool factor of this Falcon. We don't have to tell you how great the panels are because you can see for yourself. The bare metal was machine sanded for an even pattern, hen given a clearcoat to protect the unique shine. In an interesting twist, he extra brightwork that came on the top-of-the-line Futura has been changed to black. So now the body is the brightwork, nd places like the grille, ail lamp surrounds, nd side accents that were once chrome now standout in their matte finishes. This trim also matches the power coated 17-inch alloy wheels from Vintage Wheel Works. But this coupe is not a complete festival of monotone. All the badging stands out nicely in its wild shade of blue.Take one look inside, nd you'll instantly confirm your suspicions that this is a purpose-built speed machine. All the tuck and roll of a Falcon Futura has been replaced with Mad Max-style metallic function. The heavy non-essentials have been stripped away such as the back seat, enter console, aneling, nd even carpeting. In its place are custom machined aluminum panels that are a constant reminder of this coupe's killer attitude. You might think that the black on the dash and upper door panels are the last reminisce of the car's original color, ut this actually started life as a Mint Green and Turquoise cruiser. So, hat stretch of black inside is just another sign of a thoughtful custom build. This matches the surprisingly comfortable leather racing bucket seats, hich have five-point racing belts. The driver also gets a grippy Grant sports wheel for the power steering, nd beyond that is a full set of gauges. All the chrome might make you think these readouts are 1960s stock, ut it's actually a custom AutoMeter setup that has a lot more essential information about what's going on under the hood.The V8 in the engine bay is like nothing you've ever seen before in a Falcon. The 351 Windsor motor has been stroked to displace a healthy 418 cubic-inches. Of course, he performance upgrades don't stop there. This motor was built with a forged crank, -beam connecting rods, orged pistons, nd aluminum heads by Dart Machinery. It's topped with an Edelbrock Air-Gap intake, erformance carburetor, nd Spectre Performance cold air kit. Everything exits through custom performance headers mated to seriously mean dual exhaust. All of this is backed up by racing components such as an aluminum radiator w/3000 CFM electric fan, oroso electronic water pump, owermaster alternator, nd MSD ignition. This makes some serious power, o it's no surprise that it carries the Mustang-rated Tremec TKO500 five-speed manual transmission. From there the power is sent to a weight-saving custom aluminum driveshaft, nd then to the limited slip rear end running a 3.73 ratio. If all of this did not have you drooling already, he suspension is a fully adjustable coilover setup with subframe connectors. There's even disc brakes at all four wheels! This is a true performance build that has so much custom work there's just too much to mention in this space. But if you contact us, e'll not only tell you about the upgrades, ut also go through all the restoration records, itle documentation, aintenance records, nd even title docs. This is the coolest custom powerful pro touring car you're going to see. Don't let it slip through your fingers. Call today!!
