1964 Ford Falcon 260 Termite Racer-Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode # 181 

I had a 260 V8 1964 falcon base model back in high school . Boy do i miss that suckerbill.

I love the sound of that little 260. That thing sounds mean as hell with dual quads, a hot cam, and headers. Awesome car

As Carol Shelby knew, the little Ford Windsor engine is a constant winner

Knew someone who owned a 66 ford falcon and dropped in a 400 horse 351w small block with a toploader 4 spd. Painted her pearl white with s small street scoop.God it was beautiful and soooooo fast.People heard about that car real quick and the BB chevy boys found out real fast how quick you lost when lined up against that 4 wheeled rocket pack.

Oh Hell... How cool would it be to have a "Vintage Race Car Of The Week" program? A collection of classic race cars from 40's-70's. Factory racers, big names, small names- Sox & Martin, Stone, Woods & Cook, Holman-Moody, the names and teams go on forever.

64 sprint was a great looking car, always got 4th gear rubber, 260 was a fast small block, out ran most 289s. Loved them.

Great video. Falcons don't get as much love as they should. I hope to change that where I live when my dad and I get our 63 and 65 hardtops finished.

My Favorite race car body, owned and built several.

I love this episode , very beautiful vintage drag car, please do more episodes like this.

Love the character and positive vibes of this car.

Yes in the good ole days, drivers often placed the names of the family on the car, it was a family endevour, and family pride....recognizing that without the support of your family...you wouldnt be racing!

Nice work on this weeks car Kevin. The old Falcons are always overlooked. The termite is an awesome classic drag car. I love the lettering and illustrations.

Great idea to acquire and show these vintage race cars. Love the classic muscle cars every week, but it's GREAT to expand the collection. There are SO many important classic drag, circle track, and road race cars out there that need to be restored. Oh yea, I vote The Termite as the MCOTW BURNOUT CHAMP.

At 16 this was my first car😢. 1965 ford falcon 2 Dr. Futura. Took out 6cyl and put in V8.

best sounding car on this channel yet. i love this car

The best MCR episode I've seen thus far! Love this unique drag Falcon!

Angry sound! Love it.

Ive come to appreciate the galaxies,fairlanes and falcons

I absolutely love this car!!!❤️😍

Very popular cars when I was growing up in the '60s. The Mustang came off the same platform then eventually replaced the Falcon but these Falcons here in my opinion are just as good looking. And so many people owned them and Street raced them back in the early seventies when I was in high school. We even had a quarter mile marked off on a country road out of Salem Oregon where many people would gather and race their cars. Fun times!

I had a 64 Futura 260 ,4 spd falcon..Sweet little cars back in the day.

love the name, that was a reason to bring kids to the track. which creates life long love of the sport. I satrted at 12 and still can tell you most of the cars that raced at Vargo Dragway, PA.

Love Falcons even more than Mustangs. Should have gotten as much or more fame than the Chevy Ii

It reminds me of my uncle, he dragged a Falcon too.

This is one bad azz hot Rod. Surly miss those days with a passion. May they live on.

Everytime I watch this episode, including the Thunderbolt and Comet, I wanna built clone versions of them. Love watching your channel. History lessons for me. I appreciate your guys hard work, time and didication to making these videos. Thank you! Peace to you all and God bless.

The 260 became something else with 225hp 289 heads and cam

That thing moves for a little 260 ci V8!

This is so awesome! I just rebuilt my 260 for my Falcon last summer. I wish I had access to a set of the custom pistons used in this motor. My 1964 Falcon Futura can be seen on my channel. Just click on the cat.

Falcon 👍👏👏👏👏🚗

I love it, my kind of car

Love it ! A Fairlane owner..

The 64 falcon is the prettiest car ever built beats the hell out of the Chevy 2

UNREAL...LOVE THE SEXXXY LITTLE FACOLNS. 64S AND THE 65 BEST BODY YEARS OF THE CARS...I HAD THEM BOTH..YOUNGER YEARS...

Probably the hottest one on Muscle Car of the week

That was a great video those little cars make great hot rods this one is badass and very cool too.

I had a Falcon Sprint like this car--4 in the floor, 4 brl. Carb. Bored and Stroked-260-230HP --Loved that car, wish that I still had it....

Beautiful car

In the 60s this was the lightest car available with a V8. Lighter than the aluminum engine Buick Specials, Corvettes, Mustangs, anything. Did not take much to get it moving.

This was cool!

in 1973 I bought my first car it was a 1964 falcon sprint I paid $200 for it pulled the tired motor to rebuild thinking it was a 260 and it was a 221 but rebuilt it anyway with help of a guy that lived in the area it was the one I let get away, sad until the day I die.

The tire-mite...I see what you did there.

Very nice, Thumbs Up Liked.

I woulda spelled it “Termight”

i got a 64 sprint i hope to fix up

Grew up getting an eyeful and earful of the Termite as John Hawkins lived just down the street from me. Right Steve?

Nice 👍👍

FORD, first on race day.

❤❤

Hmmmm.....I have an old 260 block/heads and intake......wonder if it is worth saving....as been in the weather for 20 years or so.

starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel of the brothers collection aye kevin. no just kidding. a unique one for sure . love the, "if you can read this you lose!". haha

A C4 automatic in this little beast? And set several class records? Damn. If that C4 isn't beefed up somehow, that's one truly "magical C4". I've owned a few Fords with that damned C4, and every one of them failed.......and each of those had just the minimal stock 302's. One was a '71 or '72 Gran Torino ( been so long ago, I can't remember which year ) and I had THAT C4 totally rebuilt when it failed.....it failed AGAIN......so replaced it with a different C4........and that one took a shit too. So really, I went through at least 7 or 8 of those damned things.......in 3 cars. I was even told by a few guys back in the day, that was a terrible transmission. Beats me.......all mine sure sucked. Awesome little racer though......( the Termite Falcon.......not mine..lol.)

charging "volts" @4:19

Need to show a '62 Dodge Dart with the 413 now! 😉😄

I'm confused what year c -4 bolted to a 260? I accidentally bought a 260 thinking it was a 289. There was no way the c4 I had wasn't going to bolt up to it.

Anybody ever heard a horsepower stated for the termite ? Or care to guess. ? It could easily be over 300 hp. I think. Maybe even 340.....??

What makes a 'BOSS' a BOSS? Was it a certain person at the factory or aftermarket of certain parts? I thought it was limited to a 302 or 429.

Lighting 260 not boss

The scoop looks like it was made out of a Corn Flake box!!!! No disrespect but c’mon you guys !!!!......a little effort!!!!

Insects are animals.

god entered into my body, and I took my clothes off to glorify God

Like Rancheros/falcons???? Check out my 63 1/2 ranchero at thatladycarguy-trucktuesday#9 I think you'll like it, Dave

C4 kinda ruins it for me.

Neat car BUT he Power Braked it, WOW amazing, not really. Let it launch, much better

Love it that was my 1st car

I gota rear bumper if needed + other cool falcon pts.
