- The letters "F-A-L-C-O-N" on the rear tail panel. Futura hardtops had the letters "F-U-T-U-R-A" on the rear tail panel.
- The chrome side trim is un-painted in the ribbed section. Futura cars had the ribbed area of the side trim painted from the factory.
- Chrome interior windshield trim.
- Bucket seats and center console.
- "Falcon Sprint" horn ring and wood-grain look steering wheel.
- "Sprint" badge on glovebox door trim.
- Non-padded dash with no trim holes for dash pad trim.
- "SPRINT" badge on front fender.
- "V8" badge on front fender. Futura cars with V8's got a "260 V8" badge.
- "Sprint" badge on rear pillar. Futura hardtops had a "Futura" badge.
- Dash mounted tachometer. The tachometer in the car now is not the factory tachometer but I have the factory mount for it. The factory tachometers are readily available if you decide to replace it.
This is an exceptionally original and well cared for Falcon Sprint. Very little has been changed or replaced since it left the factory.
- It has one older repaint in it's original color of Rangoon Red. The underside of the hood and trunk lid as well as the door jams still wear the original factory paint.
- The entire interior including the carpet appears to be original.
- All the glass including the windshield is original and free of cracks and de-lamination.
- The radiator and water pump were recently replaced but the original correctly date coded radiator and water pump are included with the car. Car runs cool and is leak free.
- Battery and voltage regulator were recently replaced as well. The charging system is in full working order. Fuel gauge and speedometer are in correct working order as well.
- Shocks and tires replaced approximately 10 years ago. Tires are still like new and show no signs of dry rot or cracking.
- Also included with the car are a pair of factory stainless steel fender skirts date coded 1960. Dealer optioned seat belts for the front seats date coded July 1962 are also included.
- The wheel covers are from a '64 Falcon and are incorrect for the '63. The '63 should have imitation wire wheel covers.
Runs and drives like a 31,000 mile car. Trans shifts smooth and brakes stop straight. Doors shut firmly and all windows function smoothly. No squeaks or rattles driving down the road.

After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.

There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.

The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
