This well-known 1965 Ford Falcon Sprint that has been set up as a race car for many decades. A rare car in and of itself (one of just 2. 806 produced), it has been prepared and improved upon since the 1960's and currently sports a fresh 302 cubic-inch V8 (stroked to 347 cubic-inches, balanced and blueprinted) with all new internals built by a Wood Brothers NASCAR engine specialist in North Carolina. The engine is also fitted with a complete MSD ingnition system and an oversized custom NASCAR aluminum radiator.

This fantastic powerplant is backed up by the indestructible T-10 toploader 4-speed manual transmission and similary heavy-duty custom Ford 9" rear end with Moser axles. The engine has run only a few break-in events since that time and the rest of the driveline is competition ready including disc brakes at all four corners with Wiwood Dynalite calipers and close-ratio rack & pinion steering. Notably, quite a bit of work was done to the car just before being put up, incluidng a partial front-end rebuild.

The car rides on competition rubber mounted to Basset stock car 8x15" rims. Safety equipment includes a set of certified harnesses, a fresh fire system, 22 gallon R. J. S. fuel cell and a generously-overbuilt full roll cage.

Most recently, this car been the pride and joy of a seasoned vintage racer in the mid-Atlantic region, who also served as General Manager for Virginia International Raceway near Danville, VA for many years. As such, it conveys with SVRA and VDCA logbooks that permit this car to be run in those groups as well as VRG, HSR and many other sanctioning bodies. The vendor states that the car was also previously active in the Midwest Sports Car Club Council as well as HSR, though little documentary evidence remains from that time apart from records from the 1993 Sebring Historics.
