Similar to the Monte Carlo rally Falcon that came up for sale a couple years ago, this 1964 Ford Falcon for sale on Hemmings.com has plenty of rally history, including a couple runs on La Carrera Panamericana, and is set up not as a dust-gathering museum piece, wasting its potential by sitting static, but as a race-ready car, with all of its FIA paperwork and go-fast parts in order. From the seller’s description:
A race/rally car with FIA papers, extremely lightweight with legitimate fiberglass fenders, front hood, doors, rear deck lid and bumpers. Car raced in Europe and won the Nurbergring and Hamburg among other places. This is Bill Shanahan’s rally car which placed second in the Carrera Panamericana Historic C in 2008, first in Historic C in 2009 and first in the Classic Division of the Targa Newfoundland in 2010.
The car comes with a complete set of spares including front and rear suspension, transmission (T10), two 305 cubic inch Ford race prepared/rally engines. Also included is a fully developed 6 cylinder 4.5 liter Ford engine which qualifies to run in Historic B in the Carrera Panamericana, all of the FIA spec pieces including a 289 FIA engine and the original suspension parts. The suspension parts of the Carrera/Targa car have been significantly strengthened given the difficult road conditions in those rallies at high speeds. Finally, the car comes with a complete set of molds to build, if necessary, fiberglass fenders, hood, doors and trunk. The car has not been raced since 2011 due to owner business commitments; it has been continually track tested and is race ready.
