In the 1963 model year, the Falcon lineup underwent several changes, including the introduction of a four-door Futura and a Deluxe wagon.
Recognizing the strong sales of the Futura, the American automaker sought to expand the lineup with each new release. For instance, the 1962 model year saw the introduction of the Falcon Club Wagon and Deluxe Club Wagon, demonstrating the brand’s efforts to appeal to a broader range of buyers.
1963 also marked the debut of the Sprint, featuring Ford’s new 260 V8 engine with 164 horsepower. This V8 option was available on approximately 10,500 two-door hardtops and 4,600 convertibles.
One such hardtop is currently available, awaiting a new owner. The eBay listing emphasizes that this car is an authentic Sprint, not a clone, which is crucial for enthusiasts seeking to restore it to factory specifications.
Although it has been parked in dry storage for two decades, necessitating a thorough inspection, the car retains its 260 V8 engine. While some parts are missing, the overall condition appears promising, with minimal rust damage and solid metal construction.
Despite initial bidding starting at $3,500, the auction may see the car relisted at a lower price due to limited interest. Located in Riverside, California, interested buyers have the opportunity for an in-person inspection before making a purchase.
