Description

This is the holy grail of antiques -- an original Black Plate California car. It's been in Southern CA all it's life and has only been owned by three families. This is the rare Futura Sprint with the tacometer on the dashboard. It runs like a top, he engine runs smooth and cool. In fact, o cool that when I first bought it I called the previous owned to ask if the temp gauge was broken because it barely registered when I drove home. He said, ope, hat's the way she runs. The car has been meticulously cared for, lways garaged. The actual mileage is unknown. But the guy I bought it from had it for 26 years and only drive it about 15,000 miles in that time. It has a patina of wear, ut not much for this old of a car. It turns heads and brings a smile wherever you go. You make friends easily. The tires are brand new. Could use an alignment though, ust haven't gotten around to it.I've had this car three years, love it, ut I got hit with a lot of taxes.Otherwise Iwouldn't be selling it. The convertible top is fairly new, ut there is a slight tear in convertible top on the driver's side right about the well it folds into. This is a great, un car, bout as bullet proof as they come. Obviously, t's 53 years old so sold as is.

It has been pointed out to me by someone that the Sprint was a V8. My understanding was Sprints had the dash mounted Tachometer, he V8 was introduced mid 1963, his car was built an sold in 1962 at the new model introduction. It does not have Sprint badging. So, could be wrong.

I've gotten a number of messages regarding whether this is or isn't a Sprint, ome saying yes there were six cylinder Sprints, ost saying Sprints were only V8s. Since it's so controversial let's just say it's not. I've tried to change the actual listing but it's not letting me. But I'm willing to concede that this is a Futura, ince it's badged that, ut not a Sprint.
