• Out of Storage: 1963 Ford Falcon Futura (barnfinds.com) — A vintage-car enthusiast has spotted a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura convertible currently for sale on eBay from a seller in Newington, giving local classic-car fans a nearby project opportunity. The non-running blue-on-blue drop-top needs mechanical work and some cosmetic attention but appears largely solid, with included brake parts and a replacement window regulator sweetening the deal for a hands-on buyer.
