You're looking at a 1963.5 Ford Falcon Sprint in its original color of Ming Green. Yes, I would call it more of a blue, but the factory color code is Ming Green. This was a California black plate car (spent its whole life in sunny SoCal - Built in San Jose) until 2016, when it was shipped to Nashville, Tennessee, where it has been garaged unless the sun was shining! The current owner has more than $60k invested in this car, but has decided to make room for something new. Paperwork detailing the work completed is included with this sale.
This is not a perfect show car, but it's perfect from ten feet away. Closer inspection will reveal some cracks, paint chips, and bubbling over factory lead joint body seams (see photos), a driver's seat upholstery tear, etc. Form follows function, and the money went into the engine, suspension, transmission, wheels/tires, etc.You will be amazed by the number of honking horns, thumbs up, etc. as you cruise around town, or as you blow past at a comfortable 75 mph on the highway. The power-to-weight ratio is outstanding.
Some highlights include:

Also included are the four "half moon" wheels (with custom painted rims) and tires that came on the vehicle. The radio is inoperable (now replaced and works) but you won't mind with the windows down and the engine roaring. Total mileage is unknown, due to the upgraded engine and transmission.
