That's what I thought. The 289 was awesome. I've got a 390 in my '68 Galaxie fastback. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #5
Most of the 64 Falcons still had the 260 v-8. 289 wasn't offered in the Falcon until late 64. yellowcanine Aug 2012 #7

would that by any chance be a rare '64 Falcon Sprint with the 289 v-8? Even though I prefer European cars from the '60s, I've always been partial to that model, even more than the Mustang.

Nice pics.

So most of the 64 Falcon Sprints as well as all of the 63 1/2 Sprints had the smaller 260 v-8. Even some of the 64 Mustangs, Fairlanes, and Mercury Comets had the 260 v-8 engine.

My dad still has his he bought from Tony Dow's dad (Leave it to Beaver).

It's a 62 Spider Turbo.

Thanks for the pics!
