Ford but non Comet advice needed

Post by Baldy »

Guys, I have been watching some Jay Leno's Garage on YouTube cause you can watch a thirty minute show in 14 minutes wit no commercials. One of his segments was on a 63.5 Falcon Sprint that was built road race ready that he bought on BringATrailer.com. I thought damn, that's a nice car and kinda reminds me of LipRippers current project. So, I had never been to the BringATrailer website and thought I'd give it a look. Well I'll be POPS uncle, look what I found:http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1963-12-falcon-sprint/. Now, just today I freed up some space in the garage from the sale of some old British junk that y'all don't care nothing about. So, do y'all think this is something Baldy should consider? Maybe some of the west coast guys recognize the builder's name. Y'alls' input would be much appreciated and I'd be a thanking you for it.

Get it man!!! Current bid $20g. I wonder if it'll get much more.
Seems like a well built car. I'm trying to get a 64 built along the same line as this one.

I had a 63.5 Sprint convert, wish I still had it, these are nice looking cars and going up in price, get while you can you won't regret it. This car is a well prepared nice looking vehicle.

Wow, $39750 and reserve not met. Nice to see these cars going up in value. I decided with no proper place to drive it without the risk of numerous tickets, to pass on this one. Nice car though

Great car and the price encourages me. I really wonder if that is a shill bidder.
