FOR SALE - 1964 FORD FALCON FUTURA CONVERTIBLE. THIS IS EQUIPPED WITH A 302 CU INCH (5.0 LITER) V-8 ENGINE, 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, POSITRACTION REAR DIFFERENTIAL. EXHAUST IS THROUGH TUBULAR HEADERS. VEHICLE SITS ON 18" CHROMED ALLUMINUM WHEELS. IT HAS LOW PROFILE TIRES ALL THE WAY AROUND. THE TOP IS A NEWER TOP, BUT, COULD USE REPOSITIONING OF THE BOW PADS. NOT A BIG PROJECT, BUT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE DONE. THE TOP GOES UP AND DOWN WITH THE HYDRALICS VERY SMOOTHLY, LATCHES WORK WELL TO LOCK THE TOP INTO PLACE. ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS BEAUTIFULLY, AND PULLS THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD WITH EASE. FOUR SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PERFECTLY, AND CLUTCH SEEMS FIRM WITH NO CHATTER. WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN, BUT REQUIRE A LITTLE MUSCLE. THEY COULD PROBABLY USE A GOOD CLEANING AND RE-GREASING. THE CARPET AND SEAT COVERS LOOK TO BE NEWER, AS DO THE SEAT BELTS. THE DOOR PANELS ARE IN OK CONDITION, BUT NOT PERFECT. THE POT METAL ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR (HANDLES, WINDOW TRIM) ARE PITTED AND HAVE SOME SURFACE RUST. FRONT WINDSHIELD IS CLEAN WITH NO CRACKS. THE BODY IS RELATIVELY STRAIGHT, WITH A FEW MINOR IMPERFECTIONS. LOOKS TO HAVE A RECENT REPAINT OF DRIVER QUALITY. I CAN SEE THERE HAS BEEN SOME MUDWORK DONE, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HAS BEEN FIXED. I DO SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL SOFTSPOTS IN THE FLOORPAN CLOSE TO THE ROCKER PANELS, SO I ASSUME THERE HAS BEEN OTHER RUST REPAIR DONE TO THE CAR. THERE ARE DISC BRAKES IN THE FRONT, AND DRUM BRAKES IN THE REAR. THE BRAKES DO AN EXCELLENT JOB STOPPING THE CAR WITH NO VIBRATION. THE BUMPERS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN RECHROMED, BUT, IT WAS AN INFERIOR RECHROME. THEY ARE SHINY, BUT COVERED IN PITS. THE POTMETAL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS SO-SO, PROBABLY DRIVER QUALITY. THE CAR DRIVES OK, TENDS TO WANDER A BIT BECAUSE OF THE WIDE, LOW PROFILE TIRES. EXHAUST SOUNDS AWESOME, AND HAS A GREAT RUMBLE TO IT. THERE IS NO SOUND SYSTEM IN THE CAR, THE EXHAUST KINDA TAKES CARE OF THAT!! OVERALL I WOULD CONSIDER THIS CAR DECENT DRIVER QUALITY, THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOME WORK TO GET IT TO SHOW QUALITY. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR VERY LONG, AND DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE MUCH LONGER, AND HAVE A VERY HARD TIME WITH CLUTCHES OF ANY KIND SO THE CAR JUST DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. INCLUDED IN THE SALE IS A NEAR NEW PARADE BOOT, AND, A VERY NICE QUALITY CAR COVER. I AM SELLING THIS VEHICLE ON A NO RESERVE AUCTION, HIGHEST BIDDER WINS, PERIOD. I ENCOURAGE INSPECTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING, AND WILL DO ALL I CAN TO ACCOMODATE THAT IF NEEDED. I WILL REQUIRE A $500.00 PAYPAL DEPOSIT AT AUCTIONS END, AND FULL PAYMENT WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS OF AUCTIONS END. I WILL ASSIST THE BUYER IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE INSOFAR AS HELPING TO ARRANGE SHIPPING, VEHICLE DROPOFF AT SHIPPERS, ECT... I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL BIDS BY LOW, NO, OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK BIDDERS. I AM SELLING THIS VEHICLE "AS IS", WHERE IS, AND WITH NO WARRANTY. I AM AN HONEST SELLER WITH 100% FEEDBACK OVER MANY YEARS ON EBAY. CHECK MY FEEDBACK IF THERE IS ANY QUESTIONS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PERFECT, AND, I AM NOT SELLING IT AS SUCH. IT IS A GOOD LOOKING DRIVER, THAT COULD BE MUCH NICER WITH A LITTLE MORE WORK. I WILL RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS BY EMAIL OR PHONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YOU MAY REACH ME AT MY CELL PHONE AT 320-260-0502 OR EMAIL. THANKS FOR LOOKING, GOOD LUCK!!! BOB
