Vehicle description
You"re looking at a 1963.5 Ford Falcon Sprint in its original color of Ming Green. Yes, I would call it more of a blue, but the factory color code is Ming Green, and in certain lights and pictures, you can see why. This was a California black plate car (spent its whole life in sunny SoCal - Built in San Jose) until 2016, when it was shipped to Nashville, Tennessee, where it has been garaged unless the sun was shining! The current owner has more than $60k invested in this car, but has decided to make room for something new. Paperwork detailing the work completed is included with this sale.
This is not a perfect show car, but it"s perfect from ten feet away. Close inspection will reveal some paint chips and bubbling (see photos), a carpet stain from an AC hose leak, a driver"s seat upholstery tear, etc. You will be amazed by the number of honking horns, thumbs up, etc. as you cruise around town, or as you blow past at a comfortable 75 mph on the highway. The power-to-weight ratio is outstanding.
Some highlights include:

Other details from the shop that did most of the work (teamwittcustoms.com): · ALL NEW CLUTCHES, SEALS & GASKETS · HIGH ENERGY OD BAND · NEW UPDATED OD SERVO PISTON & PIN w/O-RING · NEW UPDATED MOLDED 2-3 ACCUMULATOR PISTON · INCREASED PRESSURE FOR IMPROVED CLUTCH LIFE · RECALIBRATED VALVE BODY WITH UPDATES · UPDATED PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE · UPDATED STAINLESS STEEL SUN SHELL · NEW TORRINGTON BEARINGS · BETTER LUBRICATION SYSTEM · UPDATED MECHANICAL DIODE INTERMEDIATE SPRAG · ELECTRONIC SPEED SENSOR · COMPLETE BOWLER INSPECTED & DYNO TESTED · LOKAR CLOCKABLE SHIFT LINKAGE ARM · COOLER FITTINGS · SLIP YOKE (2WD VERSIONS ONLY) · BLOCK PLATE · OE FILL TUBE AND INDICATOR · ENERGY SUSPENSION MOUNT · SFI 164 TOOTH FLEXPLATE (0 / NEUTRAL BALANCE) · CONVERTER NUTS
Also included are the four "half moon" wheels (with custom paint) and tires that came on the vehicle (see photo). The radio is inoperable, but you won"t mind with the windows down and the engine roaring. Total mileage is unknown, due to the upgraded engine and transmission.
All in all, you will be hard-pressed to find a better example for the money, and if you do, it"s probably boring old RED! Please don"t ask me what my lowest price is. Just give me your best price. This is a reserve auction. Thank you for your time.
