#120 • 1963 FORD FALCON | Offered at No Reserve

Part of 10/28/2023 Collector Motor Series Auction (live auction by Henderson Auctions)

Status: Sold

1963 was the first year for the Sprint, and it debuted as the company’s trend-setting downsized car in 1960 and was an immediate hit in showrooms. For 1963, the Falcon line continued to use the body shell introduced in 1960, but was updated with a new convex grille featuring a horizontal grid pattern, chrome side trim, and slightly revised taillight lenses, with additional chrome around the inside of the lens, and was offered as either a two-door hardtop coupe or convertible. Lee Iacocca wanted his thrifty compacts to have some excitement and performance, too, so a racier hardtop Falcon body style was added in January of 1963, and for the first time, V-8 power was available in the Falcon lineup. This piece has been tastefully updated with a small block Ford V8 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. It has an updated interior with a custom instrument cluster, alloy wheels, and traction bars. A good example of a 60s car ready for the street and stoplights. VIN: 3H17F225200 Selling at Public Auction on Saturday, October 28, 2023.
