Description of 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint |
You're looking at a 1963.5 Ford Falcon Sprint in its original color of Ming Green. Yes, I would call it more of a blue, but the factory color code is Ming Green. This was a California black plate car (spent its whole life in sunny SoCal - Built in San Jose) until 2016, when it was shipped to Nashville, Tennessee, where it has been garaged unless the sun was shining! The current owner has more than $60k invested in this car, but has decided to make room for something new. Paperwork detailing the work completed is included with this sale. This is not a perfect show car, but it's perfect from ten feet away. Closer inspection will reveal some cracks, paint chips, and bubbling over factory lead joint body seams (see photos), a carpet stain from an AC hose leak, a driver's seat upholstery tear, etc. Form follows function, and the money went into the engine, suspension, transmission, wheels/tires, etc.You will be amazed by the number of honking horns, thumbs up, etc. as you cruise around town, or as you blow past at a comfortable 75 mph on the highway. The power-to-weight ratio is outstanding. Some highlights include: Non-original 302 V8 Rebuilt by Tytech Performance (facebook.com/TyTechPerformanceandMachineShop/) in October 2016 Dyno data sheet shows max 273 hp and 301 lb ft torque (Accel test 600 rpm/sec) (Car weighs an estimated 3200 lbs) New Bowler 4R70W Performance Transmission with Overdrive with programmable ECU (pictured) New Edelbrock Performer Carburetor, 600 cfm, 4-Barrel, Square Bore, Electric Choke, Single Inlet New Foose Knuckle Wheels - Textured Gray with Diamond Cut Lip and Continental Control Contact Sport A/S 205/50 ZR17 93W Tires New Custom Vintage Air / Heat installation with Vintage-style controls New Northern Muscle Car Aluminum Radiator #205030 Two new cooling fans (push/pull) 14 in, 1,038 cfm, 12V Electric Edelbrock Aluminum Heads Edelbrock High Rise Manifold Mallory Electronic Ignition Roller Top Lifters TCI Mustang II style front end with rack & pinion steering kit Adjustable coil overs SSBC disc brakes New rear leaf springs New custom painted steering wheel New 16 gallon fuel tank and fuel lines New reproduction dash-mounted tachometer Custom exhaust with dual chrome tips $700 Paint Restoration from Pro Corrections (procorrections.com) Dec 2017 Other details from the shop that did most of the work (teamwittcustoms.com): · ALL NEW CLUTCHES, SEALS & GASKETS · HIGH ENERGY OD BAND · NEW UPDATED OD SERVO PISTON & PIN w/O-RING · NEW UPDATED MOLDED 2-3 ACCUMULATOR PISTON · INCREASED PRESSURE FOR IMPROVED CLUTCH LIFE · RECALIBRATED VALVE BODY WITH UPDATES · UPDATED PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE · UPDATED STAINLESS STEEL SUN SHELL · NEW TORRINGTON BEARINGS · BETTER LUBRICATION SYSTEM · UPDATED MECHANICAL DIODE INTERMEDIATE SPRAG · ELECTRONIC SPEED SENSOR · COMPLETE BOWLER INSPECTED & DYNO TESTED · LOKAR CLOCKABLE SHIFT LINKAGE ARM · COOLER FITTINGS · SLIP YOKE (2WD VERSIONS ONLY) · BLOCK PLATE · OE FILL TUBE AND INDICATOR · ENERGY SUSPENSION MOUNT · SFI 164 TOOTH FLEXPLATE (28oz) · CONVERTER NUTS Also included are the four "half moon" wheels (with custom painted rims) and tires that came on the vehicle (see photo).
