Almost unknown in Europe, the Falcon name was widely used by Ford since the 1960s. The Falcon lineage goes back to 1960, when Ford launched the original model, built until 1970 in the U.S.A. The name was also used in South America from the 1960 to the early 1990s, and in Australia where a modern Falcon still exists.
In the late 1950s, Ford is facing financial difficulties. To compete with Volkswagen and Volvo, Ford decided to create a smaller, more economical car. Presented in October 1959, it is an immediate success and more than 450,000 cars were sold the first year only.
The car we are offering for sale today spent its life in California where it was purchased from the first owner’s widow. The current owner imported the car to France, where his goal was to convert it into a race car; he started the project, but the lack of time forced him to sell the car to one of his friends.
The car was given to Bullitt Racing in Southern France to complete the project of converting the car to lightweight Group 2 specifications. The original steel doors and hoods are replaced with fiberglass ones, the suspensions are reinforced and equipped with Koni shocks. The Falcon also received a rollcage made specifically for this car. The original body panels are available with the car.
The 289 ci engine was entirely overhauled and the car only entered 2 rallies since the rebuilt. Internals were replaced with forged parts, the exhaust manifolds are 4-in-1 units, and the carburetors are the original Edelbrock units with Weber-made casting. The engine was bench-tested and cranks out 370 bhp.
The transmission is a manual 4-speed. This gearbox was overhauled in the U.K. 6 years ago following the car’s import into Europe. The brakes are original brakes in the front and drums in the rear.
Following the completion of the conversion, the car was re-purchased by the current owner, who had imported it. He only entered the car in 2 rallies. This Ford Falcon was just serviced by Bullitt Racing.
This Ford Falcon Sprint is immediately available in France with its French registration and its FIA HTP.
