For 1963, the Ford Falcon Futura replaced the Falcon
Deluxe atop the model’s range, and a new two-door hardtop model was
introduced. While a six-cylinder was still the standard offering on
Falcon Futura models, performance-minded buyers could opt for the
260-cu.in. Challenger V-8, fed by a two-barrel carburetor and rated at
164 horsepower. This
1963 Ford Falcon Futura hardtop,
for sale on Hemmings.com, comes powered by the V-8, mated to a
Ford-O-Matic transmission. Since 1986, it’s been in the collection of a
San Marcos, Texas, museum, and prior to this was the property of a
single family since purchased new in 1963. It’s not clear how much of
the car is original versus restored, but overall it appears to be in far
better than driver condition, at a price that won’t require a second
mortgage or sale of a kidney to afford. From the seller’s description:
This
Falcon Futura Hardtop is a true survivor. The car runs and drives great
and everything works, including the radio. It was purchased new and
remained in the same family for 23 years before being donated to the
museum. It has been kept indoors and part of the collection since 1986.
