1963 Ford Falcon Futura

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.
