  • Interior condition:

    The interior is purely rally appropriate for its purpose, with no sound dampening. The card doors are made of aluminum and fitted roll cage. Take a look at the photos. Six-point seat belts and seats have been authorized by the FIA.

  • Exterior condition:

    Paintwork is older and has blemishes, scratches, touch-ups, and some minor cracking. It serves its purpose well "see pictures". Chrome and glossy trims in good condition. Straight through the body, with good shut line on the bonnet and doors. Exterior boot lid and bonnet quick opening locks. Gravel-blasted wing edges and, to a lesser extent, thresholds have resulted in surface rust "see pcitures".

  • General condition:

    The car is in good condition for its intended function.

Owner's comment

I built the car to run the Midnight Sun Rally in 2021. It was a race against the clock to get the car ready and approved by the FIA for historic racing. Unfortunately, the rally was canceled in 2021, so we had to wait until 2022. Then the car was driven with starting number 16. It is approved according to Appendix K, Class CT10 (period F 1962 -1965) for both national and international competition in racing, downhill racing and rallying.

Facts about the model

Ford Falcon Sprint var en högpresterande version av Ford Falcon, en bilmodell som tillverkades av Ford Motor Company i USA från 1960 till 1970. Falcon Sprint introducerades 1963 som en del av andra generationens Falcon-modellserie.

Falcon Sprint var en av de första bilarna som kom att bli en del av muskelbilsperioden i USA. Dess högpresterande motor och sportiga utseende lockade många köpare som var ute efter prestanda. Falcon Sprint anses vara en av de mer ikoniska muskelbilarna från 1960-talet.

Under åren som följde fick Falcon Sprint en rad mindre förändringar och uppgraderingar, inklusive nya motoralternativ och stylinguppdateringar. Modellen fortsatte att tillverkas fram till 1970, då den ersattes av Ford Maverick.

Idag är Ford Falcon Sprint en eftertraktad bil för samlare och entusiaster av muskelbilar. Dess höga prestanda och ikoniska design har gjort den till en eftertraktad klassiker på bilmarknaden.

För svenskar intresserade av historisk racing är Ford Falcon Sprint mest förknippad med legendariska Kungens kurir, Bosse Ljungfeldt. Bosse körde en av de 8 fabriksbyggda Falcon Sprint. Med startnummer 49 var han snabbast på samtliga specialsträckor i Monte Carlo-rallyt 1964. Han vann sin klass och blev totalt tvåa i tävlingen. 1964 hade man nämligen uppfunnit en ny regel som innebar att ju större cylindervolym, desto snabbare måste köra man för att vara prickfri. Cylindervolymsregeln gjorde att det bara räckte till en andraplats efter Paddy Hopkirk, i en Mini Cooper S.
