Up for auction is my 1964 Ford Falcon Futura. I have owned this car for about five years. I originally bought the car as an I6 automatic and, over the course of about a year, converted it to a 302 V8 5 Speed. This car runs and drives great. The transmission shifts very smoothly and the engine generates great power. It's got a custom exhaust which is not too loud but will get your attention when you get on the motor. With the front disc brakes and larger drums the car stops very well. The car always runs at 180 to 185 degrees; never had any kind of cooling issues. The car has been "adult" owned; no racing nor has it been driven hard. The following is a list of modifications I've made to the car since I've owned it:302 of a 78 Ford Granada. Heads were rebuilt to accomodate a different camComp Cams 278H camDouble roller chain / timing gearsHigh volume oil pumpHEI Distributor w/Ford Racing WiresEdelbrock 1406 carburetor (600 cfm) w/electric chokeWeiand dual plane aluminum intake manifoldFord Racing aluminum water pumpHedman HeadersAluminum Radiator (180 degree thermo)World Class T5 transmission from a "fox body" Mustang (5 Speed)Ford Racing clutch, flywheel pressure plateHurst stick shift8" Maverick Rear End (3.00 gears); rear end housing was powder coated blackFord Grandard front disc brakes; new front hosesNew dual master cylinder2.5" Exhaust w/Magnaflow MufflersAuto Meter gauges (tachometer, voltage, oil pressure, temperature)New engine bay wiring harnessNewer Interstate batteryV8 steering conversion done (pitman arm, idler arm, center link, upper and lower control arms); larger diameter sway barNew suspension (front and rear springs, tie rods, etc).New driveshaftRear air shocks with external fillFloor pans coated in POR-15 and DynamatNewer tires with a lot of treadNew interior front / rear panels, new carpetRear trunk mat and fresh trunk sealAll windows and chrome are on the car. The chrome is original, looks very nice, but is not show quality. The following items are included in the auction but not installed on the car:California Car CoverDoor seal rubber (enough for both doors)Interior edging trim (e.g. trim which goes around the door openings)The car is in good condition but there are some issues which I will note here:A section of the passenger side floor pan was replaced by a previous owner. It measure 21" x 11". Pictures have been added showing the patch.The original color of the car was Wimbeldon white. A previous owner painted it the color it is now which is a brighter white. I would say the paint is a 5 out of 10. It is presentable but nowhere near show qualityThe speedometer and odometer are not connected. The T5 housing is for an electronic speedThere is a small oil leak from the rear of the panThere is a small leak from the rear endThe front windshield has a faint scratch from the passenger side wiper. There is also a small divet in the windshield at the bottom of the passenger sideThe horn does not workThe blinker switch does not have a "reset" (e.g. when you turn the wheel the blinker will not go off - you need to move the stick back)There is a slight bend in the rear bumper from a previous owner. The letter "A" is missing from the rear deck. I refused to buy a Chinese made letter and was not able to find an OEM one to replace it.There is a slight crease in the lower rear fender on the driver's side (you can see that in the pictures)Driver's side door plunger needs to be reconnected; does not affect the operation of the lockSmall rip in the carpet on the passenger's side floor (about two inches)For the high bidder a deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction.
