1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible Factory 4 Speed Very Rare 289 D Code V8 on 2040-cars

I purchased this 1964 Falcon Sprint as an original survivor.  Several years ago, someone had painted it burgundy and its seats were tattered.  I had it painted back to its original color, silver smokey gray.  The seats and door panels were reupholstered with factory correct vinyl, trim and emblems from Dearborn Classics.  Other than those cosmetic repairs, it remains original.  The factory and dealer paperwork have long-since disappeared, so I had my local Ford dealership's classic car department look the car over and pull the starter to check the engine number.  Unlike most manufacturers, back then Ford used only part numbers to identify car components and nothing [like a VIN number] to link those parts to a specific vehicle.  The technician, after careful examination of the engine and under carriage, said he was confident this car still has its original engine, because of the consistency of the aging process and the characteristics of a factory installation.  In the process of tracking down this engine block number [C40E6015C], I found something very interesting; this appears to be one of the those extremely rare Falcons that received a factory 289 CI engine; it's an early D Code [a very rare 289 performance engine option, manufactured from March through May of 1964].  The fact that this engine is so rare makes it even more probable that it is the original engine from the factory.  It seems highly unlikely that of the millions of 289 Ford engines produced, an engine swap made years later would be a D code built in April of 1964.  If any of the previous owners had changed the engine from a 260 to a 289, they certainly would have mentioned it as a major selling-point.  Other features of this beautiful driver are: Holley 4 barrel carburetor on an Edelbrock intake manifold, a factory 4 speed with a Hurst shifter, new aluminum radiator and new set of radial tires.  Vehicle sold as is.  Once the money is received in full, I will release the car to its new owner.  Winner of this auction is responsibile for shipping.
