Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura convertible.
This Falcon’s exterior was repainted white, and a new black convertible top was installed during the restoration. The exterior features a new top boot, rear body trim with Ford badging and Futura lettering, and chrome bumpers.
It rides on chrome 17-inch Coys wheels with 225/45/17 Extensa HP radial tires.
“The new interior is furnished with front bucket seats, a rear bench seat, trim, and door panels upholstered in black vinyl,” the listing states. “Features include power steering, manual brakes and windows, air conditioning, a center console with an automatic transmission shifter, an AM radio, a tilt steering column, and a 1967 Mustang steering wheel with a wood rim. Additional features include a new black dash pad, new black carpeting with sound insulation, and a new convertible top well cover.”
It’s powered by a 347ci stroker V8 engine with an aluminum intake, and a four-barrel carburetor. The engine bay was spruced up with chrome valve covers, a chrome air cleaner, an aluminum radiator, and reinforcement braces were installed.
The engine is paired with a console-shifted four-speed automatic overdrive transmission from Monster Transmission & Performance that sends power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.
This Falcon has a Global West independent front suspension with tubular control arms and coil-over shocks. It also features manual Wilwood drilled and slotted disc brakes. The battery was relocated to the trunk, and a new fuel tank and undercoating were installed during the restoration.
The sale includes a clear title, build documentation, owner’s manual, and restoration and service receipts. According to the selling dealer, the odometer reads 2,662 miles, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.

Wow! Way better than my Wife’s 63 conv. Her’s was a 170 c.i. six w/2spd. auto. With that 347, this thing probably has no trouble keeping up with traffic. Nice car but I won’t be bidding, already have my Fairlane and no more room.
