1964 Falcon Sprint that has been upgraded for extra performance and drivability. Purchased by the current owner about 5 years ago as a relatively stock vehicle. He added Vintage Air AC and heat, a T5 5 speed overdrive transmission, and rebuilt the brake system.
The car had a repaint about 15 years ago in its original color of Rangoon Red. Driver quality paint job that still has a very nice shine to it. Solid and straight car with original floors and rockers. In addition to light blemishes in the paint from normal age and use, there is a small group of bubbles in the paint forward of the passenger rear wheel well by the rocker moulding. (pictured). Under the car we found one small rust hole on the passenger side inner quarter panel. (pictured) Other than those very minor areas the car is very solid and original.
Interior was restored very nice in correct original patterns and color. New front retractable seat belts were added. The original “Sprint” Tachometer is currently inoperable as is the speedometer. All other gauges work as do the wipers, turn signals, and all lights. It still retains its “Sprint Only” woodgrain steering wheel.
All Chrome and brightwork is in good shape, showing only slight age but no pitting. All of the glass is nice as is the weather stripping and rubber seals. Windshield was recently replaced. All the windows roll up and down nicely with good alignment to the roof seal.
Powered by the correct and original 260 V8 that was rebuilt prior to the current owner purchasing the car. It was recently resealed with a new timing chain, water pump, and ceramic coated exhaust manifolds. Flowmaster dual exhaust was added and the car sounds great. A brand new Vintage Air “sure Fit” AC system was installed. Engine is backed by a T5 overdrive 5 speed manual that makes highway driving a pleasure with the 3.25 rear gear.
Rolls on “Weld” aluminum lightweight rims with Mickey Thompson tires out back.
Not too many of these Falcon Sprints around today, and this is certainly a very nice example with a very desirable factory color combination of Red on Red.
