Ford Falcon Pro Touring 427 V8 1965

General description : Description
This custom 1965 Ford Falcon Futura Restomod is nothing but great surprises from every angle. An awesome two-tone on the outside, a custom A/C interior, and a thumping high hp 427 V8 under the hood with a five-speed just scratches the surface one this terrific and speedy custom-built classic.
Falcons are a great car to start with for a custom build because they are small in size, light in weight, but big in stature. And when you take a two-door like this and give it a slick custom attitude, it really brings out the best in the Ford's design. The Burnt Orange Metallic is an awesomely slick color that does a terrific job of really bringing out sporty elements, like the full-length spear shape that Ford stamped into the sheetmetal. Of course, it also helps that the restoration gives this super straight body panels and expertly shaved door handles. The Raven Black upper half pays tribute to a terrific classic Ford color while also emitting a high-gloss shine. The dividing line for these two colors is a silver pinstripe that goes great with the rest of the brightwork. There's plenty of polish with the wraparound chrome bumpers, new grille, and full trim package. Those OE Racing 17-inch wheels not only add to the polish, but also draw attention to the extra meaty rear rubber. But the performance detail we might just love the most is the hood scoop. It draws extra attention to the classic dip in the hood line, and at the same time, reminds us of a Mach 1 Mustang. Consignor claims over $40k in the work on this one, and the investment really shows right from the first impression!
Inside, the black and orange continues, and there's some tasteful wood accenting on the dash and steering wheel. It even has all the right comfortable upgrades, like power windows, a cup holder center console, power steering, and cold-blowing air conditioning. And this also has a touchscreen AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth and custom subwoofer system. But this custom Falcon is far from a coddler. You know that the moment you spot the high-back racing seats with full harnesses. Other competition-worthy features include the toggle switch fuse panel on the dash, trunk-mounted battery (for better weight distribution), and the integrated racing cage. And that large backlit tach with shift light goes quite nicely with the Hurst shifter.
Under the hood is a true beast. It's a 427 cubic-inch V8 by the masters at Bennett Racing. That means a fortified setup that includes aluminum TrickFlow heads, Comp Cam, cast valve covers, and an Edelbrock Super Victor intake. It inhales deeply with a Holey four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as headers feeds a completion-style H-pipe dual exhaust with MagnaFlow mufflers. The full package is rated at 629 horsepower, and we have the dyno sheet to prove it! Plus, this powerful motor is backed with all the right supporting components, like a March serpentine belt system, MSD ignition, and aluminum radiator with electric fans. You have full control over this monster motor and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to the upgrade to a strong Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission. This feeds a stout Ford 9-inch rear. And because all this power is nothing without control, you have great features like tubular A-arm front suspension, four-link rear w/Panhard bar, adjustable coilovers, and four-wheel disc brakes.
This is a seriously sweet custom build that's surprisingly affordable. So if you love to be memorable and powerful, don't miss this Falcon. Call today!!!

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
