Someone sure put in the wrench time. John bidding starts a $120,000.00 You could win this...

You only have to come up with $2000 within 48 hrs of the end of the auction!

Saw that Ford at Columbus GG's last year. It sure has a mean rumble when it goes by.

I would, but I don't like the wheels....

"0 bids" at only $120,000.00, I wonder why?

It looks awesome all accept for the "fast back" with the funky rear window. To each his own, I guess.

John...........was that a factory sponsored deal way back when. I thought they had a couple of those made for racing. Seems I remember it in the old old Hot Rod mags. You should know if anybody does.

Holmann Moody made some, but this is not one of them.

During the spring of 1963 the Falcon got its own fastback roofline, as the Falcon Futura became available as a two-door "hardtop-fastback" (actually called a "scatback"), making the ’631/2 Futura the most desired Falcon ever. And finally, Ford added the 260ci two-barrel V-8 with 164 hp to the option list. The lightweight small-block V-8, introduced a year earlier in the Fairlane, was a logical upgrade for Falcon buyers seeking real power. With the V-8 came a new, downsized, removable-carrier 3.25:1 conventional rear end with an 8-inch ring gear. Brake size was also increased to 10 inches, which improved stopping considerably.

Another terrific midyear addition was the Falcon Sprint package for fastback-hardtops and convertibles, the result of research and development conducted by Holman-Moody on a ’62 Falcon two-door sedan test mule, known as the Challenger. The Falcon Challenger was going to be built by Holman-Moody and marketed through Ford dealers, similar to the Shelby Mustang two years later. The Challenger had a stock 164-horse 260ci V-8, four-speed, 3.50:1 gears, handling package, larger tires and--would you believe--four-wheel Airheart disc brakes.

The Holman-Moody Falcon Challenger never saw production, but Ford decided to produce the in-house Falcon Sprint instead. Although it was a watered-down version of the Challenger, the Falcon Sprint turned out to be the sporty Falcon Ford’s product planners envisioned for the company’s corporate image. Think of the Sprint as a Falcon Futura on steroids, with chassis stiffening, a firmer suspension, a sport steering wheel, a tachometer, a Borg-Warner T10 four-speed, wire-style wheel covers, and a glass-pack muffler to enhance the pulse from the 260 V-8.

A notch back version of the Ford Falcon Challenger raced at the Sebring 12 hour race in 1962. The car was built in three weeks and driven by Marvin Panch and Jocko Maggiacomo. Finished 2nd in class and 36th overall. In your wildest dreams, could you ever imagine a Falcon leading a Ferrari GTO at Sebring? The Challenger I surprised many. It was proposed for entry in the 1962 Le Mans 24 hours but the entry was not accepted.

Wow Terry you stay gone for so long and say nothing and then all at once......

I thought the "Scatback" was the real name for those. When I saw that car a couple of years ago, I thought there were some made for racing but I didn't remember that the NASCAR boys drove them. That's cool that you either remembered or knew where to get it. Thumbs up to you!!!

Hey Steve. I've been lurking and watching whats' been going on and passing along to others in the Falcon Club, like the cruise out 32 that I couldn't make. Busy here at work since I'm the HTC (head turd catcher) and there have been a lot rolling down hill. Many times I've been meaning to head over for the cruise-in, but....... Hope to see you all soon. If you guys and gals can make it to the F.A.R.M. show over here in september you'll have a great time and it's free on saturday with the cruise-in. Tractor pulls, RC boats on the lake, threshing demonstations with old equipment and more. See ya!!!!!
