1963 Ford Falcon Sprint hand made prototype
Dear all,
Here are the first photos of the very first hand made prototype with generic wheels and many details still to be corrected. But I want you to have an idea of the process.
Best regards!photo no longer available

Sergio that is almost better than a real one. A step above any model of that car. Do you recall that coupe being used by Ford as an rally car in the Amazon jungle when it was new?
If I remember there were maybe a team of three identical cars with big lights and rally gear in every car magazine. A big promotion for Ford.

Seriously, when I first saw the top picture I thought it was the actual car.

Sergio, any chance of doing the 1964 Falcon?

Great looking model but I wonder why Sergio picked this Falcon when it has already been done in hardtop and convertible versions by Brooklin. Staying with Ford products, the 1963 Comet S-22 has never been done nor the even rarer Mercury Meteor or even the Ford Fairlane from that era. Here's a homemade Comet S-22

Dear John Quilter,
The reason I have chosen this model is because as a collector, I don't like the size of the Brooklin wheels. Also, there are many 1/43 scale model car collectors out there that don't do white metal, so, consequently, they don't have the Falcon from Brooklin. I am working with the Comet, which was approved by Ford for Goldvarg Collection. Best regards, Sergio.

Neo already did a '64 Futura, so it might be a slow seller.
I have the 2nd place car from the Monte Carlo rally that year.

Great news about the Comet!

A great looking model!
I am not a fan of Fords, Falcons, or cars of the sixties, but this one I want!
