Original Details about
this Vehicle:
This 1965 Falcon Futura rolled off
the Lorain, Ohio Assembly Plant on July 15, 1965. Shipped F.O.B. to Seattle
WA
The car had 93,500 miles in June
of 1999.
When I acquired her she still had
the Original Factory applied Wimbledon White Exterior and Palomino Bench
Seat Interior,
The Original Jack, Spare Tire &
Trunk Mat Liner were all still in place on this very pristine example.
See the Original
289 Cubic Inch V8 here. It had approximately 103,125 Miles and
ran fine when I removed it for replacement in May 2001.
This Motor was passed on to give
life to a 1965 Mustang GT Coupe owned by Manny Laurence.
