1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Sprint Original CA Black Plate Survivor

Ford Other 1963 Description

Here is an absolutely original. never modified. essentially one CA owner. no hit. low mileage Falcon Sprint Hardtop survivor. This car was recently removed from long term storage(1984) and gone through with only enough restoration done to create a dependable and still original driver quality Sprint. This car could very possibly be the most original remaining un-rusted example of the very unusual model. It is said they are only original once and this is a good example of that. The car was recently shipped from CA to NY where all the removal from hibernation has been accomplished and if someone from CA would like it back they will get the original 1963 black plates. I have the original owners manual. window sticker and dealer invoice for this car along with some CA maintenance receipts. This is truly a no-hit. mostly if not all original paint with no hint of damage anywhere that I have found. Other than a little light surface rust underneath this Sprint is as it rolled off the assembly line in February of 1963. Here is a close to complete list of what was replaced to bring the car back to roadworthy standard; front control arm bushing. four ball joints. four tie-rod ends. idler arm. strut rod bushings. front wheel bearings and seals. front shocks. all rear spring bushings. spring poly welting. rear shackles and bushings. rear wheel bearings and seals. all four gas shocks. master cylinder. all four wheel cylinders. all four wheel brake shoes. all flexible brake lines. water pump. all hoses. voltage regulator. speed cable. muffler. two sets of extra keys. four correct size radial tires. all fluids and filters including four speed and rear axle. battery box and hold down. Interstate battery and oil pressure switch. I am sure there are a few things I have forgotten to mention. Here are the negatives I am aware of; the spare wheel is missing although the spare tire is an original. never touched the ground bias ply tire. one spot on the headliner has stitches failing and the radio doesn't seen to come on. The option list from the original Stockton CA window sticker shows on top of the base Futura hardtop. the Sprint package. 4-speed. padded dash and visors. back up lights and 7. 00x13 WSW tires for a total of $2986. 05 on 3/26/1963. this car is loaded and everything works excepting the previously mentioned radio. Note: This car will need an wheel alignment thanks to the front end work and Mother Natures' lack of cooperation preventing me from getting it done in the near future. Will consider interesting trade. prefer traditional hot rods with three pedals. Reserve has been lowered to enable a sale of this very original car. Thanks
