Message from the seller

1963 Ford Falcon 2 Door Sedan To promote the new model, Ford secured advertising licensing rights from cartoonist Charles Schulz. The Ford advertising staff wanted to use the Peanuts characters in a variety of print ads and commercials. Schulz agreed to work with Ford on the Falcon campaign. The Peanuts characters had already been enlisted to sell everything from breakfast cereals to snack cakes, from insurance and to photographic film. Between 1960 to 1965, Ford paid an annual licensing fee for exclusive rights to have the Peanuts gang speak about the new features of the Ford Falcon. The popular new Falcon models were powered by a six cylinder engine and priced at $1,975. Thx motorcities.org  For consignment, a 1963 Ford Falcon 2 door sedan, showing 16,010 non actual miles as this car has been massaged over a number of years to become a rather pedestrian looking street rod and the best part may be, as our consignor so aptly puts it, pulling up to these youngsters at a traffic light and blowing the dust all over their carbon fiber hoods. What Falcon could possibly do that?  Read on.  Exterior Patriot Blue over Gunmetal Gray Metallic sounds like something out of the Civil War, and there's plenty of civility in the two tone coat of two stage paint that your grandfather might wear. The rebuild of the car, including the paint, have roots in Southern California and the paint was applied in East L.A. where they are no strangers to great paint jobs. The deep colors are enhanced by the gray painted steel wheels and your eyes might go right to the poverty look of plain wheels, right before they blast down the street past you. Blue sandwiches the gray paint and highlights the straight panels of the Falcon while the front end has a completely docile look that even the slight rise in the hood cannot overcome. Out back, things are a bit more aggressive but still rather pedestrian with Ford's trademark round taillights, a straight chrome bumper, and in this case, two chrome exhaust tips that first hint of something wicked this way comes. The paint and brightwork is great, with a notable imperfection noticed in the form of a crack at the base of the driver's C-pillar.  Interior The gun metal spills over onto the door panel header which leads to a pleated vinyl and then flat gray panel, and there's a bit of patina on the white pleats. The split bench seat seems period correct if not original with gold vinyl surrounding patterned cloth inserts and that configuration continues on the back bench, all in great shape. The black steering wheels fronts the standard dash with horizontal speedometer to 100mph, white plastic housing and trim for two small round gauges, and lots of white knobs that have aged nicely with a bit of discoloring. The original AM radio is in place and a modern AM/FM/CD player has been added along with a trio of auxiliary gauges mounted below the metal formed dash. Despite these modern additions, the dashboard is classily 60's simple and even includes a small Falcon insignia worked into the instrument panel. On the floor, gray loop carpet is in good shape and kept that way with the use of mats while the ivory headliner is intact but like many of us, showing some age with a few wrinkles and loose skin here and there.  Drivetrain Under the hood, the straight six is gone and in its place, a rebuilt 302ci V8 with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake manifold. Headers start the exhaust process and a C4 3-speed automatic transmission from a 1964 Fairlane backs the power plant and sends the spin to the Ford 8 axle in back. Disc brakes are supplied up front and drums in the back.  Ford Motorsport valve covers, a red air filter element, and red wires make this engine bay presentable for all to see, if you want to let the secret out of the bag, that is.  Undercarriage Driver quality underneath with some surface rust, some transmission fluid on the pan, and areas of chipping pai

1963 Ford Falcon: A Compact Car for the Modern Age

The 1963 Ford Falcon represented the third iteration of Ford's highly successful compact car, building upon the strong foundation established by its predecessors. Introduced in the fall of 1962, the '63 Falcon retained its core identity as an economical, practical, and stylish automobile, while also incorporating subtle yet significant refinements that aimed to enhance its appeal and performance. This year marked a crucial point in the Falcon's evolution, solidifying its position in a competitive market and offering a compelling choice for American consumers seeking value and versatility.

Key Design and Styling Enhancements

Visually, the 1963 Falcon presented a clean, modern, and understated aesthetic. While the overall silhouette remained familiar, designers introduced several key updates:

  • Front End Refresh: The most noticeable change was a revised front fascia. The grille was redesigned with a more horizontal emphasis, often featuring a mesh pattern or horizontal bars, giving the car a wider and more planted appearance. The headlights remained prominent, and the front bumper was often styled with a more integrated look.
  • Side Profile: The side profile continued to showcase the Falcon's characteristic clean lines and relatively upright greenhouse. Subtle trim variations and wheel cover designs differentiated the models and trim levels. The roofline, particularly on the two-door sedan and hardtop models, was often praised for its simplicity and good visibility.
  • Rear End: The rear of the '63 Falcon featured updated taillights, often larger and more integrated into the trunk lid or rear quarter panels. The trunk lid itself might have received slight styling revisions, and the rear bumper typically complemented the front design.
  • Body Styles: Ford offered the 1963 Falcon in a versatile range of body styles to cater to diverse needs:
    • 2-Door Sedan: A classic and practical choice, offering seating for five.
    • 4-Door Sedan: Providing enhanced passenger space, ideal for families.
    • 2-Door Hardtop: A sportier, pillarless coupe offering a more stylish profile.
    • Convertible: The open-air option, a popular choice for those seeking a more leisurely driving experience.
    • Station Wagon (Wagon/Futura Wagon): Offering significant cargo capacity, making it a highly functional family vehicle.
    • Ranchero: The popular coupe-utility variant, combining the passenger car comfort with a cargo bed.

Powertrain and Performance Options

The 1963 Ford Falcon offered a selection of reliable and economical engines, catering to different priorities:

  • 144 cu in (2.4 L) Straight-6: This was the base engine, providing excellent fuel economy and adequate performance for everyday driving.
  • 170 cu in (2.8 L) Straight-6: An optional upgrade, this engine offered a bit more power and responsiveness for those who desired it.
  • 260 cu in (4.3 L) V8: The most potent offering, this V8 engine provided a significant boost in performance, making the Falcon a surprisingly peppy car, especially in the Futura and Sprint models.
  • Transmission Options: Buyers could choose from a 3-speed manual transmission (column-shifted) as standard, with a 2-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission and a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission available as options on many models.

Trim Levels and Features

Ford recognized the importance of offering variety within the Falcon line, providing different trim levels to appeal to a broader customer base:

  • Base Falcon: The entry-level model, offering essential transportation with a focus on affordability and fuel efficiency.
  • Deluxe Falcon: This trim level added a few more creature comforts and cosmetic enhancements over the base model.
  • Futura: Positioned as a sportier and more upscale option, the Futura models often featured upgraded interior appointments, unique badging, and sometimes sportier suspension tuning. The Futura convertible was particularly popular.
  • Sprint: The performance-oriented halo model, the Sprint was introduced in 1963 and was available exclusively with the 260 V8 engine. It often included special badging, upgraded wheels, sportier suspension, and unique interior accents, making it a desirable choice for enthusiasts.

Legacy and Significance

The 1963 Ford Falcon continued to be a significant player in the burgeoning compact car market. Its blend of affordability, reliability, distinctive styling, and available V8 performance made it a compelling choice for a wide range of consumers. It represented Ford's successful strategy of offering a practical and economical car that didn't compromise on style or the option for spirited driving. The Falcon's popularity paved the way for subsequent iterations and cemented its place as a beloved classic in American automotive history.
