- NOTE: Video is from 2009 or so. It's lower resolution. It's shaky. And I didn't have a fancy phone or a way to edit vids at that time. Be kind to the quality :)
Also, made a mistake about the deck trim in narration. The deck trim on the futura and sports coupes says 'falcon' in the script, not futura. I misspoke but wasnt going to redo the whole vid for that.
Beautiful bird and the sound is amazing !
Oh,the goosebumps! I love your car!!!

I had a 1966 Falcon Futura Sports Coupe and it actually saved my miserable life! A lady slammed into the car, in a head on collision, destroying her 1964 Plymouth valiant coupe. It also put the 3 occupants of the Plymouth in the hospital. I walked away with a quarter inch cut on my chin which I still have today! My car suffered enough front end damage to require frame straightening and complete body part replacement for left front fender, bumper, and hood. The heavy 289 V8 played a role in this action. The Plymouth Valiant accordioned while my car was almost driveable. Three weeks later, I was back on the road. I held onto the car until late 1969. Served me well.
@78Revolutions Appreciate your help cheers mate
Great video. I bought a '68 4dr this past summer. It just rolled over 40 000 miles today. Did a five hundred mile trip here in northern Canada, and of course it ran well. I'm a muscle car guy, but I've got a new respect for Falcons. I enjoy seein your car. It's an inspiration to spill up my Falcon. Thanks for your videos of your Falcons.
Gorgeous!!
Sir. i doubt there could be any bad comments about this stunning sounding falcon. i like this year because its more boxy. did the futuras look much different than regular 4doors/2doors? and You've told me before. But do you remember the pips size your running?
Nice Falcon! What size tires and rims do you have?
@78Revolutions hey thanks for the Info and cheers for the offer, Its actually quite cheap so I will just purchase it. Is yours an Online file or did they send a booklet out to you ?
Hey bud nice Falcon I too have a 1966 ford falcon that I have just picked up, I was wondering if you had the full wiring schematic for it at all ?
That pinstripe detail is awesome. Well done.
She's a beauty!
My brother has a 1966 2 door Falcon which is presently in my yard, he has to see this video. His is an 8 but the rest of the car is pretty much the same. Nice work!
When I was in kindergarten in Texas in the late 60s, our school "buses" were actually late 60s Falcon station wagons in this body style, pastel blue color. Cool that someone values the simple, clean lines of the period and hasn't opted for making it into a power monster. People are so used to seeing only muscle cars from that era that I've had people tell me that all Falcons and Chevelles and Torinos were muscle cars. This is a cool car.
Beautiful beautiful car! I am glad to see people enjoy these cars as much as I do! I have a 1965 falcon sedan and am about to paint it the same satin black but white roof, as well as the headers! Very amazing car you have! Keep it up!
No doubts, Ford Falcon Futura (made in Argentina) is the best version ever made!
Wooow amazing i`m from chile and have a ford Falcon Futura 67' 4 doors, is yellow color and i'm repairing is a long way. It's great to see fanaticism across the world... greetings is a good machine. excuse my English...
bye
Really nice little Falcon... Always reminds me of the little Nova/Chevy II.
Great looking car. I rec'd a '66 Falcon Futura when I graduated in '68. It was a 200 cubic inch 6 cyl. automatic. The color was Maroon or maybe Burgandy. I drove it several years and then sold it. I wish I had it again.
Yes ESogEJ, it is a good car and after my opinion it is also a marvelous looking, reliable machine. I think that engine easly can reach 90-95 MPH or wath???

Hello friend, I own a saloon one which was imported to India by my grand father in 67 Ur car has Awesome looks How do u manage to replace rubber beedings? How do u manage the tail lamps??
Great looking car, hope to pick one up here shortly.
do you think the lazy eyes will fit the mustang lights?
I really enjoyed your video, I think your Falcon is incredibly unique! I love the simplicity and the headers is a really nice nice touch. I’m hoping I can find one in my neck of the woods, they’re kind of rare in eastern Canada due to the salt that we use on our roads in winter. Thank you:))
Falcon 👍👏👏👏👏🇲🇽
I like old cars myself and i must say this car is sweet.
I agree with your comment " everybody says I should do this" my 67 dos'nt have any molding or stripes. just 289 badges, falcon script on the quarterpanels and F A L C O N lettering on the trunk. everyone tells me to put Le Mans stripes on it or get the sports coupe badges, vinyl roof ect. these body lines are fine the way they are!
I love my dirty bird.
gorgeous car!!! i'm about to pick up my '65 Futura from storage and rebuild my 302, what size cam and exhaust do you have? the sound you have is perfect! great job on your rebuild!
kool man,good sounding 6cyl.
@78Revolutions
Well, from a mix of highway and city driving, I've gotten 25 out of my 200. I've heard of people getting 30 with a properly rebuilt, fresh 6 cylinder.
Sound good, like the stock 289 i had in my 66 pony car
WOW......That sounds good!
I now know a Hooker Header will make my 300 Six sound like a V8....
Nice Job and thanks for sharing your hard work!
@78Revolutions
Doesn't the six get pretty good mileage though?
My first car was the 1967 Ford Falcon Futura Sports Coupe 2 door with a 289 engine with a four-barrel and a 4 speed transmission. With the four barrel I was running between 200 to 225 hp. I was busting the Mustang’s with it. It was the same thing as the Mustang under the body. Frame and engine was the same. That little 289 was a bad engine!! We would get together to rum our cars. The guys with the Mustang would jump on my Falcon. The four barrel gave me a little more hp. I won a few drag races.
Great looking ..i have the same one
beautiful!
love that car!
Hey there! VERY nice Falcon! I have a 66 Futura 4door with 200cid under the hood. I want to get dual exhaust for it. I would appreciate if you can tell me where I can find dual head for my project. Thx
I have the exact same car. Looking for the steering wheel, horn ring and trunk lid letters.
1964 was the first year for the mustang not 1966. Great cars and great video though.
nice car i miss and regret selling my 67 falcon it had a 250 inline6 and a 2 barrel carb headers exhaust rims it went to australia in 2009 and its been in dudes garage since what a waist of car ran great i live in los angeles county would drive that little inline6 all the way to arizona were my parents live like nothing and keep on running thats why i gave in a just picked up a 62.5 futura 2 door square roof line like a 63 falcon futura not the bubble one keep it up
Mine gets about 11 MPG
