This 1963 Ford Falcon V8 Sprint has been built to period SCCA Trans-Am specs using a 1964 rule book for guidance, and the finished product both looks incredible and sounds to have been put together with great attention to detail. Built with a focus on open track days and historic racing but also capable of street cruising, the car is a former Best Vintage Race Car trophy winner at the Coronado Speed Festival and is eligible for SVRA, HSR and VARA vintage racing. Find it here on eBay in Aliso Viejo, California with reserve not met.

​Black over black Torq Thrusts with fat white letter Goodyears is a spot-on perfect look, and Holman Moody and FoMoCo graphics are equally well-judged. Other highlights include the side exit exhausts, louvered hood, front and rear sheet metal spoilers, rear window straps and of course that killer stance.

​Body modifications are extensive and include steel flared arches, welded and gusseted eight point cage tied into boxed unibody frame members and much more detailed in the listing. Paint is hand polished, hand lettered single stage for a period-correct look, and original chrome and other brightwork has been retained to counter the shiny finish and fresh graphics with a soft patina.

​Kirkey low back race seats dominate the minimalist cabin, though the naked rear deck with its spinner-retained spare is another seriously cool touch. A simple wood rimmed Grant three spoke wheel works perfectly, and the dash wears a 60’s era Sun tachometer. Aircraft switches housed in a custom box operate lights, signals and wipers, and gauges are mechanical Speedway items.

​Power comes from a freshly built, 300 horse 289 with ported and polished Clay Smith heads, a manual choke Holley, Offy intake, mild cam operating hydraulic lifters, custom long tube headers and more—the ad is definitely worth reading for its well-written and comprehensive spec lists. Brakes consist of 11.3” front discs with semi-metallic pads, standard Ford drums in back, teflon coated steel lines and a twin circuit, un-boosted master cylinder.

​​Suspension highlights include De-arched leafs in the rear for a four inch drop, KYB shocks, sway bars, heim joint steering rod ends with adjustable bump steer spacers, Shelby quick ratio, manual rack, Shelby spec relocated upper control arms, adjustable camber lower control arms and cable limiting straps.

​There’s not one detail we’re not in love with on this build, and would happily drive it until our knees gave out. Our congratulations go out to the builder and eventual new owner alike.
