Ford Falcon 1964
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a beautifully restored 1964 Ford Falcon Futura. This little beauty started life with an inline 6 and a 2 speed automatic but it has come a long way since. The car has been completely stripped down to a shell, mounted to a rotisserie, and restored from the ground up. The measly 6 cylinder has been swapped out for a proper 289 CID V8 backed by a 3 speed automatic and an 8†rear end. With 3.51 gears, this car is just as comfortable around town as it is out on the interstate. In addition to the upgraded drive train, the body has been straightened and smoothed and a slick coat of Artic White applied. The car wears the color well and it rides on polished 5 spoke wheels to complete the updated look. The color scheme continues inside where you will find custom interior upholstery in white and red which covers the front buckets, rear seats, and door panels. Pop the hood and you’re greeted by a beautifully dressed Ford 289 with just enough shine to show off a bit, without going over the top. You’ll find power steering, power brakes, and plenty of performance goodies. The underside of this Falcon is nearly as clean as the top thanks to the rotisserie restoration. If you’re looking for a well-equipped, properly restored, classic Ford, here she is! You can see this 1964 Ford Falcon Futura in greater detail in our St. Louis showroom or at http://www.GatewayClassicCars.com. Please contact 618-271-3000 or STL@gatewayclassiccars.com with inquiries.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
