1963 1/2 FORD FALCON FUTURA V8 HARDTOP

BARN FIND GASSER!

RARE 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Futura V8 Hardtop Barn Find Gasser with 1969 Shelby Mustang Wheels, Extra Set of Scarce Revolution Racing Wheels, and High Performance 351W & C6 Transmission. This car was brought back to Connecticut over 10 years ago from Washington state and has been stored away since. It was said to have been a very fast street/strip car in it's day powered by a Cobra 289. The 1963 1/2 Falcon Futura V8 was the very first Falcon to feature Ford's new 260ci V8, and comparatively few of these were produced in the second half of 1963. This is the very car that the 1964 1/2 Mustang was based off. The 63's are arguably the best looking year as well, with their fastback design mimicking the larger '63 Galaxies. The car is very solid throughout, with only a little rust in the typical spot under the driver's feet. The rocker panels are solid, as well as the underside of the doors. The trunk is also excellent with no rust to speak of. Underneath is clean with good subrails and mounts. The rear wheel wells were radiused and flared slightly, and some filler appears to have been used here. The car was fitted with a 9 inch rear end long ago. The original headers and Hurst shifter the car ran are included, still in the trunk where we found them. The interior is in good shape overall, with a clean and complete dashboard, good door panels, and the rear seat is nice. The original headliner is even intact. The front seats are old metal flake and white vinyl gasser seats that are in very good shape as well (not bolted in). Old racing steering wheel and gauges are there, as well as the desirable factory center console. All the glass is original and intact, no cracks. The paint is old lacquer from the 60's/70's and has chips and touch ups but looks cool if you're going after that old hot rod patina look. All the trim and chrome is there and looks good. There is one small dent on the passenger's rear quarter under the belt moulding. The car is currently sitting on rare original 1969/70 Shelby Mustang wheels. They are all in very good condition and are quite valuable in themselves. Also included are a rare set of English made Revolution Wheels (15x8" front, 15x10" rear). These wheels are very rare to see in any American 5 lug pattern. They were on the car when we found it, however they seemed to rub a little in the front so we put the Shelby wheels on. The original vin number is stamped on the inner driver's side front fender and identifies the car as a 1963 Falcon Futura Hardtop, V8 260ci car. The driver's side door looks to have been replaced very long ago, and accordingly the door data tag does not match. Also included with the car is a late model 351 Windsor that has Hi-Po heads installed, a mild racing cam (low end torque), and aluminum 4 bbl intake. The engine probably has 70K miles and ran very strong with plenty of power. It's bolted to a rebuilt C6 auto that has only about 10K miles. It would certainly be a nice drop in package for this car. The car is sold on a Connecticut bill of sale only, there is no title. If you're state requires a title, you will need to go through one of the various classic car titling companies that are out there. We will not be held responsible for providing you with a title. Overall this is a very solid and complete car that would be easy to finish off and put back on the street. The 63 1/2 Falcons are pretty scarce and unusual, making this a fun and worthwhile hot rod/gasser project! Call 860-575-8998 anytime (cell) or 860-873-1092 in the evenings.

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.
