You're looking at a 1963 1/2 Falcon Sprint project car with running 260 V8 and 3 speed standard transmission. While this car will make someone a great project, its important to note that this car has rust issues. As with most restorations, almost every panel will need some form of repair. Please examine the photos in this listing closely and call if you have any questions or would like to hear the car run. If you're local, I'm more than willing to show you the car. An in-person inspection is always best! The car is not a wreck and doesn't ever appear to have been wrecked. The car has a clear Texas Title.

I am International buyer friendly, but you have to arrange all the shipping etc.

On to the condition of the vehicle, piece by piece

Engine: I was told it is the original 260 and was rebuilt in 1990 by the previous owner who rebuilt it with his father. This engine appears to be very original. It has the heat riser tube from the passenger exhaust manifold to choke on carb, large oil fill tube on front of engine, breather tube at back of block going to carb spacer, carb spacer is stamped "260 TOP". The rebuild has 0 miles on it and sat since 1990 after they warmed it up and broke it in correctly. I rebuilt the carburetor, installed a new distributor (original 1963 distributor, with oiler on side, is in trunk), installed new water pump, points, condenser, coil, and fuel pump. The engine fires off without any issues and runs well. It could be tuned better, but it revs nicely with no smoke at all. I did a compression test and got 150 PSI on all cylinders. While the engine needs to be detailed, it does not need to be rebuilt. It doesn't appear to be leaking anything. I've ran it for roughly an hour. It holds 40 PSI oil pressure at idle when fully warmed up. The radiator doesn't leak and has new hoses. The engine also has a new thermostat.

Transmission/Clutch: I was told this was a 4 speed car, but it now has a 3 speed in it. I do not have the 4 speed. The linkage needs to be adjusted because the shift pattern isn't what it should be. The clutch feels ok and it catches all gears. It has a vintage Hurst style shifter in it with adjustable shift rods.

Brakes/Wheels: The brakes need everything from master cylinder, to brake lines. The brakes do not function at all. Be sure to tell your shipper. The wheels are 1960s Keystone Torq Thrusts and look fantastic on the car. They are not heavily corroded, and do not appear to have any cracks or curb rash. They are 14x6 I believe. I was told they have been on the car since the early 70's. All the Keystone center caps are in the trunk

Interior/Trim: The interior is complete and what minor pieces of trim are not show in photos are in the trunk. I don't think this car has all of the trim that goes down the side of the body. That and the letters on the hood and rear valance are all that appear to be missing. The interior needs a full restoration, but the front seats are serviceable if you're looking for a patina daily driver. The original Sprint specific steering wheel, B pillar medallions, dash trim and horn ring are on the car.

Body: There is rust through at the passenger side B pillar, as shown in pictures below. There is rust in the hood and trunk lid seams, rust in the exterior door corners, peeling paint/old body work in the quarters as pictured. The floors were repaired a long time ago and appear to be holding up well. I could not find any rust through or soft spots from the inside of the car. The trunk area appears to be solid. The gas tank looked to be new and never used, but it is dirty because the filler neck was not installed. What hurt this car was an attempt at restoration in the early 90's, and letting the car sit in a barn with exposed bodywork. Weather got to it and over time reversed the repairs made. You will need to start from square one. In my opinion, the most cost effective way to fix the car is to find a 6 cylinder low spec Falcon and use it as a donor. The panels that are on the car ARE restorable though. I do this for a living and have restored worse to like new again.

Again, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for looking,

They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin.

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars

Thu, Mar 14 2024

In some circles — especially some automotive circles Â— bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called Â“Meanest ListÂ” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating Â“the worst-performing mass market automobilesÂ” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was Â“the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.Â” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that Â“though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.Â” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the Â“Greenest ListÂ” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, Â“showing that greener options can also be more affordable.Â” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in.Â By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
