Fantastic 1963 Falcon Futura Convertible on 2040-cars

You are bidding on a fantastic Ford Falcon Fututa Convertible.  This is a great car to own for many reasons.  First, this car has to be about the simplest mechanically that you will ever see.  Everything is right out in the open and uncomplicated.  Just look at the engine bay in the pictures—need to change spark plugs and you could be done with all six by the time you did one in some cars where you can barely see the parts much less easily reach them.

Next, this design had a reputation for being a simply bulletproof design that ran forever.  It is still that way, this thing just keeps running reliably.  It has been in my family since 1986, garage kept that entire time.  You can have a nice, easy-driving, fun car for years to come.

And remember, this is the platform Lee Iaccoca used as the basis for the first Mustang.  Why do you care?  Because Ford made almost 2 million of this platform between Falcon and Mustang, insuring availability of parts for decades to come.  Depending on what your plans are, you could probably update much of the mechanics with parts from those Mustang-kits and make it drive even nicer, the parts will probably bolt right up.  (NOTE: I do not guarantee these parts would bolt right up, just that Ford used many of the same parts on both models so they should be interchangeable with little or no effort.) 

Falcons appeal to people who like a Mustang but don't want the extra cost or flash that goes with it—they are fun!

This is the same model that Brad Pitt drove in “Ocean's 11.”

Now, onto this car.  As I said before, it has been in the family since 1986.  For all of that time it has been garage kept, never seen snow, and been purely an enjoyment car.  The body is in near-flawless condition.  The engine was rebuild in about 1990 but has only around 20,000 miles since the rebuild.  The engine was listed as the 170 but when it was rebuild we checked the bore/stroke measurements and they indicated 200CID.  As it is the same engine family most parts are the same so it should not be an issue unless you rebuild it, and if you know enough to do that you will be advanced enough to do it correct I am sure.  Interior and top are in very good shape, top go up and down flawlessly.

The car is located in Pittsburgh, PA.  Do not let this be the one where you say, “I wish I had bought that car on eBay!”

A note on questions.  This is my dad's car that I am listing for him.  He is new to using computers so if you have an "eBay Question" I will be the one to answer it.  If it is a "car" question I may be able to answer it or I may refer you to call him.  If you are talking to him and a question comes up that he cannot answer on payments, etc he will likely refer you back to me.  We will get your question answered but do ask your patience.
