1965 Ford Falcon Futura Description

This car was built to be a drag and street machine all in one. However it never did make it to the track. It has about 300 miles on it since it was rebuilt in 2011-2012. I had the carb refreshed by Pro Systems a few months ago, and also had a local performance shop do some minor maintenance on it to get it running perfect since it's been sitting for a while. See below for the specs.I have an inch thick file folder with almost every single receipt from the build.

Driving on the street is fine, but moving around in the parking lot is a slightly more difficult. Narrower wheels would be the best fix.Remote door openers do not work (for the shave door handles). I have a new set but I haven't installed it yet. Door must be opened through window.
