The kit includes many more parts, and the test shot pictures here only show a few of the highlights. Our thanks to our friends at Stevens International for the test shot pictures. He did have a 1:1 Ranchero handy, so we do have that to look forward to. We had lobbied for a Station Wagon version, but unfortunately the kit designer, an AMT veteran, could not find a Wagon close by to measure the proportions. The hardtop, featured here, is first with a Convertible slated for late Summer and a "too cool" Ranchero version for the Fall. Trumpeter has three versions of the 1964 Falcon to be released this year. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price is $54.90. The new Trumpeter kit is buildable as a factory stock version, or can be customized with optional engine accessories and wheels. V8 engine, stiffer suspension, and a louder exhaust. The Sprint Package gave the Falcon a sporty interior, a 260 cu. For the 1964 model year, Ford redesigned the body lines of the Falcon, and added a Sprint Package. The Ford Falcon established itself as the leading seller in the US compact car market soon after its 1960 introduction. This is a very robust kit with well over 100 parts and features an authentic detailed, engine, chassis, interior and body. The other pictures you see feature a few of the parts trees from early test shots. The kit is painted in 1964 Ford Raven Black with Red Interior. Of the build-ability Calkichu goes on to say that the kit went together well with "no tricky points". Calkichi says that he completed the kit in 2 weeks and built the kit box stock with no modifications. This kit was built by Japanese Modeler CALKICHI1973 a regular participant on the Scale Auto Enthusiast Magazine Forum. The picture you see above is not a 1964 Showroom Promotion from Ford Motor Company, but a nicely built Trumpeter model kit. The Sprint was a sporty package that included a 260 V8, bucket seats and a sports steering wheel.

Pictures of the entire car, not just the picture of a car that needs a wash and high speed buffing will get you some better advice on where to start. Whether you go with full restoration or a good clean and refresh, do drive the car first and drive long enough to know what kind of shape the mechanics are in.Ĭondition and availability makes my decision on reupholstering, or replacing, or reupholstering a replacement seat and no way to know which is most cost effective without shopping. Up here in rust country we have yards that specialize in salvaging rubber, plastic and upholstery as our cars rot from salt not sun. Before you shop e-bay, go here fill in the blanks in part search and see if you can't get exactly what you need.1964 Ford Falcon Hardtop Stock Plus (1/25) (fs) Am I better off gutting the interior and working my way out?
My biggest issue is not know where to start. Gathering some info for the panel installs as well as carpet.
It has a few minor rust spots I may be able to tackle myself but might outsource for the body work. In your experience, has it been more cost effective to try and reupholster or to buy new seats? I’ve seen some “decent” prices on eBay for both front and back benches. Let me know if you have been in a similar situation and shoot me some advice! I understand this is going to be quite a hindering consequence. I do travel for work and can be gone for weeks or months at a time. Since the sentimental value I have, I plan on keeping this car a part of my life. In your experience, has it been more cost effective to try and reupholster or to buy new seats? I’ve seen some “decent” prices on eBay for both front and back benches. A few other parts as such but as far as I can tell, nothing major. I know it needs new interior panels and possibly a dash. Here we have a one owner, California built & owned 1964 Falcon Sprint super rare with Just over 88,000 original miles. The interior has turned to dust from sitting in desert heat for almost 20 years. It runs but will need the carb tuned for the altitude here (5,100’). Anyways, it’s in a relative’s garage and being looked over while I don’t have an adequate storage space for the car. I’m in a position where I had inherited a 1964 Falcon.
No compactnot even Falconever offered so much before 2. Plus total performance: eager response, sure-footed going, trim handling. New to the forum and lacking knowledge in car restoration. Superior Falcon-size convenience and comfort.
