This vehicle built in January 1961 appears to have spent a lot of it’s life in Southern California, we hold some documentation supporting it’s existence. Imported to Australia, we hold a copy of the Vehicle Import Approval issued by the Federal Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development, #150648/4 dated the 11th of December 2015.

The top speed of a 1961 Ford Falcon Pursuit with the 144 ci (2.4Lt) engine is approximately 145kph, though it was more about fuel efficiency than high performance. The “Pursuit” designation referred to the base model with a specific engine, not a high-performance version of the car. Engine: The 144 cubic inch (2.4L) inline six-cylinder engine was designed for economy, not speed. Performance: While official top speed figures for this specific engine in this model year are not widely published, sources indicate that the standard Falcon was not built for high speeds. This classic Ford Falcon Coupe is a first class presentation and certainly a credit to it’s current owner. Winner of an All Ford Day Award SA in 2018. It would make an ideal classic cruiser for car club events, show and shines or just a cruise to your favourite destination in style. Eligible for Historic registration in most jurisdictions, this equates to minimal on road costs. The SA plates 61FORD may be available if the car is sold to another South Australian owner. We can arrange transport door to door Australia wide. more
