We are offering this Falcon from one of our storage customers. A stunning 1961 Ford Falcon that has been restored to an outstanding standard. This Falcon arrived into the UK, circa 1984, in a very poor state whereupon it stood for some years until being acquired by a gentleman, in 1997, who had a vision of restoring this car to the standard on display today. Employing two full time specialists in his workshop, this vision was not realised until 2013, after the car had undergone a year of full-time restoration., The Falcon was completely stripped of all parts and the bodyshell sandblasted with all areas of corrosion replaced or fabricated and finished in the original colour of Cambridge Blue metallic. All mechanical parts, including suspension, brakes, and the wiring harness were not only rebuilt, overhauled or replaced, but also finished to the highest standard. The highly respected motor engineers, Belcher Engineering, rebuilt the engine, manual three-speed gearbox, rear axle and steering box. Over 30, 000 of receipts sit on file. This is by no means all that was spent, as there is no record for many parts, including the chrome or labour; it is estimated that the total cost of this restoration was in excess of 100, 000. The correct interior materials, including the headlining, were sourced from the USA and, we think you will agree, have been trimmed to an extraordinary standard, matching the incredible detail of this Falcon. Front lap belts are fitted and an original FM period radio, again sourced from the USA, has been fitted. All screen and door rubbers have been replaced as well of a set of whitewall tyres. We are informed that the silky smooth 170 cubic inch (2.8 litre) straight six engine starts and runs easily with drive transferred via the three-speed, floor mounted, manual gearbox, resulting in the car driving the way you would expect with a restoration of this quality. With less than 1, 000 miles since its completion, this Falcon comes complete with its
