UP FOR AUCTION WE HAVE THE EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL AND RARE 1961 FORD FALCON FUTURA... QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS MODEL AVAILABLE ANYWHERE! THE PAINT, INTERIOR AND CHROME HAVE BEEN RESTORED AND ARE NEARLY FLAWLESS. THE WHITE HEADLINER IS ORIGINAL AND HAS A FEW SMUDGES BUT NO TEARS. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS ALL ORIGINAL AND UNRESTORED. THIS LITTLE BEAUTY BOASTS THE OPTIONAL 170 HORSEPOWER ENGINE AND 2 SPEED FORD-O-MATIC TRANSMISSION. SHE RUNS AS GOOD AS SHE LOOKS! (ENGINE DOES NOT SMOKE) THE ONLY MECHANICAL ISSUES ARE THE FOLLOWING: SLIGHT PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE REAR PINION SEAL HAS A LEAK AND A LITTLE OIL ON THE OIL PAN. (NOTHING MAJOR). THE RADIAL TIRES ARE NEW AND GIVE THE CAR A NICE SMOOTH RIDE. POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WERE NOT AN OPTION. THE FUTURA IS VERY RARE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE FUTURAS INTRODUCED IN MID 1961 TO CAPTURE SOME OF THE SPORTS CAR MARKET. IT WAS STYLED TO SIMULATE THE THUNDERBIRD WITH BUCKET SEATS AND CENTER CONSOLE, REAR FENDER SPEARS AND LACK OF CHROME MOULDINGS. I COULD GO ON, HOWEVER, I THINK THE PICTURES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.On Mar-22-12 at 11:36:56 PDT, seller added the following information: I DO NOT KNOW IF THE MILEAGE IS ACCURATE. THE MAN I PURCHASED IT FROM COULD NOT CONFIRM IT.
