Description
Lot #1435 - Built by world-renowned builder Martin Bros Customs, featured on Season 5, Episode 9 of the TV show "Iron Resurrection." Owner and longtime custom builder Joe Martin, along with world-class metal fabricator Chad Glasshagel, designed and created this one-of-a-kind 1965 Ford Falcon. It is a complete, no-expense-spared, 100-percent custom build with attention to detail from the ground up completed in August 2021 with test miles only. Exterior features a myriad of well-thought-out one-off customizations realized through handcrafted metal fabrication, including the front bumper, grille and valance, aluminum hood scoop, full-length side skirts, extended rake on the sail panels, rear wing extending the tail end, along with a rear valance and belly pan with integrated diffuser. This Falcon flies thanks to the Ford Performance 5.0-liter Coyote Aluminator engine fitted with a Roush supercharger mated to a TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission. Featuring full coilover suspension at all four corners with TCI Independent Front Suspension (IFS) and a 4-link narrowed Currie 9-inch rear end. Budnik Knife wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires help apply all the performance to the pavement. Other drivability features include four-corner Wilwood disc brakes, power steering, Dakota Digital gauges, Kicker audio system, Ididit tilt column complemented by a Budnik steering wheel, New Relics power windows and Restomod air conditioning leave nothing to be desired while riding with all of the creature comforts you'd expect. Justin Jones of Circle J Custom Upholstery put his skills into the Falcon's custom interior that features high-grade leather throughout, front bucket seats and bolstered rear bench with patterned premium cloth inserts along with a custom center console. At its first-ever car show, this Bird flew right into the winner's circle at Texas Motor Speedway with a Top 10 Builders Choice Award at the Goodguys 28th Annual Summit Racing Lonestar Nationals.
