These two cars are owned by Gary & Diane Brubaker of Austin, Texas. The cars are both 1965 Ford Falcons, both are original Rangoon Red, both are automatic transmissions. The hardtop is a "Sprint" one of 2806 produced and the only factory red on red automatic in the country known to exist. It has a 302 V8 bored .030 over, tuned Hooker headers, Erson .480 lift cam, and an Edelbrock Performer intake.  The truck is a Ranchero "A code" which means 4v carb. It is all original except for the paint and interior. This Ranchero is one of less than 50 produced. The Falcon was an economy car and usually didn't come with a 4v carb. (not even the Sprint came with one). It has the original 289 V8 with 80,000 original miles.  You may have seen both of these cars in the magazine High Performance Ford (Oct. 95, pg.. 72 &73) and the Sprint on the cover of the 1996 Auto Krafters
Falcon/Comet parts catalog.
