Description

1964 Ford Falcon in Greendale, VIC. Message me at : arniemcgovern@xx...xx y a h o o .com PRE-MILLENIUM FALCON . It is a 1964 XM Hardtop (or coupe), The engine is not original but a Straight 6 250ci (about 4.1 litres) with a 2v manifold. Its the more standard 'deluxe' model with a split bench seat, not the Futura. Also, I would be very surprised if the milage on the odometer was accurate, she’s been around the block a few times… SPIEL: We’ve had this car since 2003, it has been our only car the whole time, you’d call it a daily driver, but we mostly just use it at weekends.

We had the engine and transmission reco’d a long while ago (2005?) but it still seems strong. There have been a number of other thing fixed on it over the years, but overall seems quite reliable. Disc brakes in the front. It does suck down a fair bit of petrol, but that’s just how it goes. It’s been fairly cheap to fix as XM parts are fairly common and cheap, it is only the coupe-specific parts that are expensive (panels, door rubbers, etc.) Mechanics love working on these. BODY: The bodywork is in fair condition. It was last re—sprayed in 2013 (I think) and wasn´t the best job. The most obvious issue is the roof, when we bought it there was no sign of any issue, but since the re-spray we saw that it once h
