Under the hood is this professionally built and tuned 289 c.i. V8. We have receipts and paperwork detailing the work performed by Speed Specialties Racing Engines in Ft. Worth, Texas. This engine has been bored to 292 c.i. and features high quality internals. Induction is courtesy of a Holley 4bbl. carburetor atop an Edelbrock Hi Rise Aluminum Intake Manifold. The cylinder heads are Trick-Flow aluminum units that breathe easy thanks to the Hooker Ceramic Coated Headers and free-flowing dual exhaust system (sounds excellent, be sure to play our video/sound clip.) The pistons are TRW forged with moly rings. The cam is a Crower solid lift with special lifters. Ignition duties are by MSD. Fuel duties are taken care of with a high performance fuel system along with an electric fuel pump. This powerplant makes a dyno-verified 350 horsepower @ 6,000rpm & 320 lb-ft. of toque @ 5,200rpm.

The engine compartment is clean and detailed throughout. This is a '66 date-coded block that reads- C5AE 6015 E. It is dressed with Ford Motorsport valve covers.
The transmission of choice is the Borg-Warner T-10 4-speed with a competition shifter.
The interior features vintage brightwork throughout along with custom red & black vinyl bucket seating. The headliner, doorpanels, and carpeting are in excellent condition. Again, we have receipts for the majority of work performed and parts used in this high quality build, totalling in excess of $20,000.
The interior is tastefully restored with custom red & black vinyl along with the original brightwork.

The dash features a custom red LED digital gauge cluster and fits perfectly with the theme of this '63 Falcon Futura. The AM/FM stereo cassette is accompanied by custom kick-panel molded speakers.

A close inspection down either side will confirm clean and detailed Rangoon Red paintwork and beautiful brightwork.

The doors, hood, and trunk open and close correctly. This is a well-built Falcon and it shows.

The trunk features this custom aluminum battery box & rear mounted battery.
This killer stance is thanks to these custom polished 15-Inch Weld Star wheels wrapped in B.F. Goodrich rubber. The front meats are 205/65R15 Precept B.Fs and the rear tires are healthy & sticky B.F. Goodrich Comp T/As sized at 225/60ZR15s.

The undercarriage is clean and detailed throughout. This is a tight-driving and handling car that has been set up right. The flooring and framework shows well throughout. Traction bars have been added to further aid this high horsepower smallblock Ford mill. Stopping duites are taken care of with 4-wheel drum brakes that work correctly.
The window glass is tinted and shows well throughout this hardtop Falcon Futura. The window mechanisms are easy to operate both up and down.

A vintage set of '63 Texas plates are included as well.
An MSD Coil, 6AL, and distributor take care of the spark duties.
All of the hard to find original brightwork is intact throughout the exterior and in exceptional condition.
The custom door panels are beautifully detailed, complete with factory stainless.
The original door identification plate is in place.
The door undersides are solid.
As you can see, the dash is beautifully restored.
The trunk pan is excellent.
The headliner shows as new, as does the custom upholstered rear seating.
Finned aluminum Ford Motorsport valve covers are fitted on this high performance 289 4bbl. V8.
