Really COOL CAR I have owned a few Ford Falcon's From 1961 to a 1966, I had a 64 sprint and now I have a 1963 1/2 sprint and A 1965 Falcon Futura, my all time favorite cars

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@oneninerniner3427]

Nice ol Falcon! Nice story too! I really wish i would have kept one of the Fords of my youth, oh well. We drove them hard and used them up, well i did anyway, lol. There was always another or so we thought:(

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for watching! They are out there but they are either really expensive or require a ton of work.

I bought my 65 red Falcon sprint in November 69 when I came back from my Air Force assignment in the Phillipines and was assigned to Tinker AFB in Oklahoma. I am a ford guy and went car shopping at Fred Jones Ford in Oklahoma city. I found my 65 sprint for $1195 and after getting the okay from squadron commander I bought it. The payment was $55 a month and I still own it. My new Wife drove it and my kids grew up riding in it. We retired it in 88 and my wife passed away in 94 so I will never sell it. I retired at 70 and began my rebuild 6 years ago. I am modifying it to the way I always wanted it to be. It,s a good hobby and my boys tease me that I,ll probably be in a wheel chair by the time its done. I am spending way more than it will ever be worth but at my age thats fine. My boys will be able to drive me around and it will be in the family long after i am gone.

Hi Tony I just found your channel, I liked this story about Mikes Falcon and working on it with your dad. I didnt get a chance to do this with my dad, but I do still have the 1971 Falcon XY station wagon that mum and dad bought brand new back in 71. In fact this is my favourite model of Falcon, I have three station wagons and a ute. As I live in NewZealand I dont expect a visit any time soon haha. Cheers from NZ, Phil

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Welcome aboard! One of these days I am going to make to your part of the world. I really would like to see the Fords that were produced in that area of the world. Thanks for watching!

Awesome car. The 65 Futura Sprint is rare. I have the 65 Futura, 289, base model. I got my car from my dad, too. I'll keep it forever.

I was 13 when my dad bought a 65' Futura Hardtop for $500. The car was garaged and sat for 38 years. Now it's in my garage, and I've been slowly fixing it up. Finally got it running, unfortunately dad passed away before he could see it running again:-(

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

It's nice that you have something as special as a vehicle to remind you of your past with your father. Thanks for watching.

[@DavidParker-i8o]

@@TonysFordsandMustangs My 65 Falcon Futura 2 dr hard top looks Identical to your sprint. Except for the 289 badge, bucket seats, center console, automatic trans, and of course the engine, probably 5 lug wheels, and large brakes. However mine came with 14 inch wheels and front torque boxes. 170 six is so easy to work on. I'm old now, so I drive slow. Hope to get it on the road sometime next year...

Got you brother 💪👊🙏🚗🔧🔥 love falcons 🇺🇲💪🚗

Sweet Ride ! ❤ I would keep it myself if I had it. 😁👍

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I agree with Roy. Thanks for watching!

[@davidhofman4341]

I live in Lancaster county Pa. In 1971 I bought a 1964 blue on blue Falcon Fatura. It had bench seat T10 4 speed and SPRINT tach in the heat gauge hole. Instrument cluster under the dash. Soon after I BOUGHT the car I installed Jetson radials. I took it to a country shop to align the front end. Since there were no numbers he changed things not by the book. IT was the best car to drive. I SOLD it when it had 160.000 miles. The person that bought got rubber in 3 gears. After that I did not tell him the front "A" arm was cracked.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for sharing your story about your Falcon! It sounds like you had some good times with it.

[@johnprins4731]

I LOVE THE FALCONS

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Agreed!

[@eziotaddeo1726]

Tony! stumbled across this just recently. Wow nice two vids on falcons. Australia had falcons until it closed in Aust 2016?(2015-6). Ford made a big mistake on that. Gr8 story on an icon of motoring on 3 continents Usa, Aust ,Canada. Cheers good work

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I appreciate the kind words. That's my brother in laws car from when he was 15 years old and his retirement project. I need to dig into more of the Australian Falcons. I covered the XB GT but there's much more I'm interested in. You can see that one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZitZqB3frmmntE

Grill is from previous year.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

He likes it better than the 65 grill.

[@billyturner2396]

Nice Falcon but is that a 64 grill on that car

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Yes it is. He preferred that grill over the 65. I think that car cost $450 back in 1984 when he got it and it wasn't all there.

[@billyturner2396]

@@TonysFordsandMustangs did he have any pictures of when he brought it that would be cool to see

My friends dad has a 65’ falcon v8 sprint it’s an off white color and is super clean. The only one I’ve ever seen. I have a 66’ ranchero. The only one in town 351w bored out 40 over and a 4 speed top loader transmission 🏁

@@leroyherpin2718 65 Sprints are rare. Thank you for your comment and for watching

[@dcheetham8603]

Awesome! I'm building a 302 for my 1963 Falcon - what headers/exhaust manifolds did you find to fit? It's pretty tight in there :) Also trying to find a solution using the gt40p heads I have...

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

This car has a 289 with the factory manifolds. He has owned the car since the age of 15 and dropping headers in there was never really a consideration.

[@anthonygrau2506]

Actually Pontiac made its print to it was part Nova with a Pontiac nose on it so welcome to car corporations taking names avoiding Sprint is
