Equipment
260/164hp, 4-speed, narrow whitewalls, power steering, disc brakes, headers, bucket seats, console, factory radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Recent paint and upholstery. New clutch. Dull, lightly scratched older chrome and brightwork. Average quality repaint. Body side trim doesn't fit flush. There are some scuffs at the bottom of the convertible top. Big scrape on the rear bumper. Good newer seats, but the rest of the interior is original and looks every bit of 54 years old. Sound but unrestored underneath. A neat little car, but no better than a driver.
Market commentary
The first generation Falcon Sprint provided the platform for the first Mustangs, and the convertible models are fairly rare with less than 5,000 built. This one may be far from perfect, but it deserved considerably more than the reported high bid and refusing it was entirely justified.
