The 1964-1965 Ford Falcon received a major restyle, trading the rounded look of the first generation for a sharper, squared-off design. More importantly, this new Falcon provided the platform for the soon-to-be-released Mustang, sharing its chassis and many drivetrain components. Buyers could choose from economical inline-6 engines or the optional 260 and 289 Challenger V8s.
Collectors often seek out the Falcon as a less common and more affordable alternative to the ubiquitous early Mustang. The most desirable models are the V8-powered Futura and Sprint coupes and convertibles. The Falcon Sprint is particularly special, as it featured a V8 and bucket seats before the Mustang, effectively acting as a preview of Ford's sporty compact car.
The market for these Falcons is steady, with an average price of just over $20,000 based on recent sales. While they don't command the same prices as Mustangs, top-tier examples like restored Sprint convertibles can reach $60,000. The wide availability of shared Mustang mechanical parts makes them relatively easy to maintain and a popular choice for restomod projects.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest concern; thoroughly inspect the floor pans, trunk, cowl, and lower body panels.
- V8 cars are much more desirable and hold their value better than the base inline-6 models.
- If you're looking at a high-trim Sprint model, verify its authenticity, as many have been cloned from standard Futuras.
- Mechanical parts are easy to find thanks to the Mustang, but Falcon-specific body and trim pieces can be scarce.
Based on 63 recent sales, prices range from $216 for projects to $60,000 for top-spec variants.
