Details

Unrestored survivor. At a time when Ford was replacing the small-body Falcon with the Maverick, the Falcon name was used on two different cars in 1970: the compact 1970 Falcon and the full-size 1970-1/2 Falcon. This latter model was produced for less than six months and only available as a two-door 'post' sedan (it has a B-pillar behind the driver's door glass), while the Torino and Fairlane have a more extensive body offering. Built in Ford's Atlanta, GA, plant in May 1970, this half-year wonder was originally sold at Gallo Ford in Chicago for $3,840 to its original owner. This car has the legendary 429 Cobra Jet under the hood and is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission, with the optional Drag Pack and a Detroit Locker rear differential with 4.30 gears. This bulletproof setup made the 1970-1/2 Ford Falcon extremely popular among drag racers. It was drag-raced for the first few years of its life, then sat in climate-controlled storage for the nearly 40 years. The Deluxe Marti Report shows that this 1970-1/2 Falcon is one of 42 to equipped with the Super Cobra Jet engine package but not the Ram Air package. This 1970-1/2 Ford Falcon comes with options such as power front disc brakes, vinyl seats, AM Radio, seat belts and Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in the original bias-ply tires. The Falcon has just over 6,018 actual miles.
