This 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint convertible was purchased by the seller’s father in the 1980s and subsequently fitted with a 289ci V8 from a 1965 model. The engine was later fitted with a fuel-injection system and was acquired by the seller in 2004. Finished in white over blue, the car is also equipped with a two-speed automatic transmission, a white convertible soft top, 14″ body-color steel wheels with wire covers, vent windows, chrome bumpers, a driver-side mirror, a Pioneer stereo, and front bucket seats. The car has not been driven in the last five years, and service will be required prior to use. This Falcon Sprint convertible is now offered at no reserve with a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.
