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.

Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

The record-setting Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT we showed you at this time last year headed back to the Texas Mile and managed to bring home yet another record. As you may recollect, last year saw Mark Heidraker's machine sprint to a record 257.7 mph thanks to propulsion from its twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8. The big mill sucks down race gas, and this year the creation pulled off a 267.6-mph run over the weekend. That feat set a new record for the event. Something tells us neither Heidraker nor Hennessey are done squeezing more thrust from this machine.
This particular Ford GT has already gone through a number of permutations. Hennessey started by tweaking the factory supercharger set up before abandoning the blower in favor of two turbos. Since then, the crew has poked and prodded it to coerce as much grunt as possible out of the car. We expect Hennessey will probably come out with a video of the record-setting run shortly, but in the meantime, you can see a couple of videos of the car's runs in Texas below (one of which actually captures the record run). Enjoy.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.
