Description
This 1966 Ford Falcon represents a rare intersection of preserved family history, low original mileage, and elite mechanical craftsmanship. Held within the same family for 42 years and showing just 24,000 original miles, this exceptional vehicle features completely rust-free, original body panels that have been professionally refinished in the factory-correct color. All original exterior chrome and trim remain intact and present in outstanding condition.
Beneath the hood lies a powerhouse built by Canadian Drag Racing Hall of Fame member Barrie Poole. The 417 cubic-inch Stroker engine is built from a premium 351 Windsor block, featuring a street-friendly 10:1 compression ratio tuned for pump gas. It is meticulously optioned with aluminum heads, a hydraulic roller rocker and cam assembly, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and a modern Holley Sniper EFI system. A heavy-duty, large-capacity aluminum radiator with an electric cooling fan ensures optimal thermal management.
The drivetrain is built to handle the power, utilizing a factory close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission feeding a robust 9-inch rear end with 3.73 gears. The exhaust system offers the best of both worlds: a full dual exhaust with headers and mufflers for refined driving, or open-pipe performance via dashboard-controlled electric cut-outs situated just past the header flanges.
Inside, the cabin remains remarkably preserved and entirely original, updated only with a set of discrete auxiliary gauges to monitor vital engine fluids. This auction opportunity offers a turn-key, high-calibre build with unmatched pedigree and bulletproof mechanical credentials.,Year 1966
