This is probably one of the nicer 63 Falcon's in Charlotte, NC. I've owned it for about a year and half.  Since I've had it I've installed a new rebuild Carb. Had the original radiator rebuilt. Bought an original air cleaner and had it power coated Ford blue the air cleaner shown is not the new air cleaner. I can send you a picture of it if you want. And taken it to a few shows. It has won a trophy several times.
Please feel free to come look at the car and we can take it for a spin if you are interested.
I'm selling this one because I have another one I'm restoring plus I'd like to get an old F-100 truck.
I have a few more pictures I can email you or I can take pics of areas you want to see.

Below is the description From when the car was listed at "Streetside classics" here in Charlotte. They did not sell me the car. I bought it from the owner at a local car show. 

Inexpensive daily driver or economical way to join the greatest hobby on Earth? This 1963 Ford Falcon 2-door sedan offers a great, early-60s look and fuel economy thats still in style almost 50 years later.



For this price, its really hard to go wrong with this Falcon. Anywhere you go, you're guaranteed to cause a stir, and imagine making this your daily driver for the warm weather months each year? You'd start to look forward to your commute, you'd instantly be recognized everywhere you go, all for a price thats half that of so-called economy cars sold in the new car showrooms. The paint and bodywork are quite good, so there's no need to pick up a worn-out beater to enjoy the style and substance of the 60s. In fact, it was treated to a professional paint job a few years ago in Glacier Blue, which was on the palette in 1963. Chrome and trim were still all the rage in the early 60s, and even the affordable Falcon got a good dose, from the simple grille to the trim rings around the jet-exhaust-inspired taillights.


The interior looks great and the comfortable woven inserts will help keep your backside cool in the summer months. The floating instrument panel hails from an era when designers were free to follow their imaginations, and offers a neat row of knobs underneath for the secondary controls. This was a pretty basic Falcon, so there's not even an AM radio, but at least the heater and defroster were standard equipment by 1963. And, of course, there is that automatic transmission which makes it easy to drive in traffic again, making it the perfect daily driver.



A 200 cubic inch inline-six provides the power, and that's also the source of its economy. Smooth and reliable, its going to get you wherever you need to go and sips gas while its doing it. No, its not a tire-shredding muscle car, but this is about affordable, economical, and highly stylish transportation, right? The bright Ford Blue engine is tidy and clean, showing no evidence of leaks or damage, and starts easily with a prod of the accelerator. Parts are still readily available at your local parts store, and it takes little more than a crescent wrench and screwdriver to keep it in top form. Lots of new gear, including hoses, plugs, wires, and a recent exhaust system practically eliminate up-front costs, so all you need to do is start enjoying the ride. Even the 185/80/13 whitewall radials are shockingly affordable and fitted to simple color-matched steel wheels.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.

J Mays' legacy

Fri, 15 Nov 2013



Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
