Customs WILDLY sectioned ford falcon

Looking to see if there was any history on with wild sectioned falcon. Couldn't dig much up on it

 

This might help.

 

Very cool ride. No idea who owned it or where it came from.

 

Thank you must of hit thumbnails by accident. Wish I had more info on it and what it ran for a drivetrain

 

Wasn’t that one of those factory sponsored road race cars for European racing?

 

Those were Falcon Sprint hardtop with the V8. Wish i still had mine . It did pay for the house deposit 35 years ago, Mine was actually owned by a well to do lady who moved from CA to Monte-Carlo and took the Sprint with her, it finally showed up in Amsterdam where i bought it including all the original documentation. The '64s were there as well.

 

I dunno squat about it, but dayyyum I like it! Didn't Ford have H/M prep those Sprints to send over the pond btw ?
Regardless, what a sweet find on your part sir, congrats! In,to see how this one turns out!!

 

There was, I think, a sectioned early Falcon sedan possibly built by Holman and Moody that got some magazine ink, back before the Mustang or hardtop Falcons were a thing. It may have had a modified roof though.

 

Yes those are called challengers I believe

 

The more I look at it, the better I like it! The first pics with the mags and a little higher stance, Done!! Send this over to the Photoshop thread.

 

That looks 10 times better then I had envisioned it from the title. I think I like it a lot.

 

I wanna say I may have seen this car finished last year at the Father's Day Roadster show swamp meet. It was a greenish blue color as I remember. I recall the rear wheel wheels very nicely done like that one,But I've been wrong before ....

 

The second set of photos I posted are what it currently looks like now. I just have never seen one sectioned like that with a later 64/65 body line in the center

 

Yeah, that would make a fun little car. SOMEONE...needs to finish it.
Unfortunately, not me, too many projects now.

Didn’t Ryan do an article on the Falcon Challengers I, II, and III not too long ago?

 

I don't think this is a holman moody car but would be cool if it was

 

It does need to be finished and Chopped!

 

I believe what You think is 64/65 "middle", Is simply the seam of the removed...

 

Local bottom one at a Mass. car show top two are South American road racers.

 

Those look like full size falcons. The sectioned one looks like it may retain some of the blue. About the same color blue as the originals.

 

Good call you right I forgot the cove is bowed and I own a 63!

 

That sectioned Falcon is down right sexy. I could use a couple of those; one for road work and one for straight lines.

 

If the car doesn’t have any significant history behind it turn it into a drag car or finish it off as one. A healthy iron head 408 Cleveland + Jerico dr4 would be pretty fast….a street brawler.

 

And then there's this, a concept built for Ford and shown in the February, '63 issue of Popular Hot Rodding.

 

Thats nice, 3" looks to be the number to use

 

I do like the way sectioning that body changed the look from econocar to Euroracer. A mile chop top would have brought it all back into proportion.

 

Would love to I have an opportunity to buy it but I already have too many projects myself

 

So is this actually for sale somewhere?

 

Not advertised anywhere the owner reached out to me and said he was planning on selling. I might put a deposit on it this week
