63 HiPo Falcon
By Lou - 02/12/2003 12:52:29 PM; IP 65.56.25.19
When the fast back Falcon sprint came out in mid 1963 I fell in love with the car. I asked Ted Coppola, Dans brother, and sale managner, if he could get me one with a 271 Hp 289 and a 4 speed. At first he told me no Ford wouldn't make it.
I said no hipo no deal.
About 3 weeks later he came to me and said he could get the car but it would cost me $2750.00 I said Not at that price. A day or two later I had to do a dealer swap with New Milford Ford, I got to talking with the sale manager and he said that he had ordered 2 such cars. One was still there, and had not been picked up buy the buyer (They only had a $100.00 deposit) If the car wasn't picked up by the end of the week I could have it for $2450.00. ( which was still a lot of money for a Falcon) But the car was black with a Red interior, which was what I wanted so I wound up buying it.
I had the car untill 1969 when I sold it to a friend. In 1978 I bought it back and did a full restoration on it in 1984 after I sold my 56 Crown Glass Top. Around 1990 the Falcon club made the stement that no HiPo 63 Falcons were built I contacked them and offered to show them the car and my orginial paper work on it. I never received a reply. I traded the Falcon in 1992 for two partly restord 57 Ford "E" models , a Fairlane 500 2 door Hardtop and a Fairlane 2 Hard top.
The last I heard of the Falcon it was in the Imperial Palace collection in Las Vegas, I was there in 2000 and the car was not there and they could not give me any information on the car.
