Up for sale is a 1965 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible. I recently bought this car and have done absolutely nothing to it except vacuum out the debris in the floor and trunk I honestly don't know much about the car but I'm going to describe it as best as I can. This is a solid foundation to start with compared to most in this price range. Pictures were taken after I rinsed the dust off the car so there is some water spots on the concrete. SBF V8 engine with a C4 automatic transmission. I have not looked for the engine block date code to verify year and if its the 289 or 302 but can if you like. Stock manifolds with single exhaust which needs to be replaced. Very clean and straight body black primer. Solid fenders, doors, rockers, quarters, hood and trunk lid. Solid trunk pan and floors. Small amounts of rust here and there but nothing major that I can tell. All the glass is there but front windshield has a crack. No bumpers 17" Bullit wheels The tires are 245/45/17. Gas tank, sending unit, convertible top and pump have been replaced recently. Based off the data plate: Model Series = Convertible Engine = 289 Cu. In. V-8 (2V) Exterior Color = Vintage Burgundy Upholstery Color = Black Sierra Vinyl Date Born = 08 April 1964 Transmission = Dual Range Automatic - (C-4) Axle = 2.80:1 DSO = Louisville Assembly Plant = Lorain The car starts, runs and shifts into gear.. I drove it around the block just to make sure. Looks to have fairly new plugs, wires, cap, and the coil is aftermarket. The interior is just the seats, no carper or door panels but the rear panels are still installed. The glove box is in tact. The lights checked out and all are working. The trunk latch is worn out and needs replacing $30. The generator has been upgraded to an altenator . This is an easy project car which you can restore as you drive it. As I mentioned, I have not driven the car much to really comment on how it runs but it does start and shift into gear as it should. I just want to get what I paid for the car and would love to see it go to a good home. Please ask as many questions as you'd like and also let me know if you need more pictures. I can take pictures of whatever you need to see. If the car does not sell I will just give up the idea of restoring a Hardtop car and work on this one.A non-refundable $500 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the vehicle being purchased. The remaining balance is to be made via cash or a cashiers check. I do not accept wire transfers or personal checks. The car will be released to buyer and/or shipper once final payment has cleared at my bank. The only exception to that is CASH in person. I am willing to work with pick or shipping arrangements for those who are not close to my location. However, you must contact me before you bid to confirm your plans with me so we are both on the same page. For those of you who are curious why I am selling this car it is due to the fact that I was originally searching for a hardtop. I stumbled across this thinking the convertible would be more interesting which it would but, I cant stop thinking about my vision on doing a hardtop version. I do not want to work on this car and dump money into it and get to the end of the road and wish I had done a hardtop. My theory on this is, list this car once here with no reserve at a reasonable price. If it sells I will go after a hardtop, if it doesn't sell then I will start working on this one anyway since its already a good platform.On Apr-05-13 at 20:09:33 PDT, seller added the following information: Willing to work with pick up or a shipper. Sorry, ebay wont let me fix the original description. Please make sure to ask any questions before bidding.
