This Ford Falcon got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1965 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery is a final-year example finished in turquoise over color-coordinated cloth upholstery, and is powered by a 289ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes 15″ American Racing wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, air conditioning, a Kenwood AM/FM/cassette stereo, a CD changer, and chrome bumpers and side mirrors. This Falcon Sedan Delivery was acquired by the seller in 2016 and is now offered with removed parts, manufacturer’s literature, and a Washington title in the seller’s name.
