1969 Ford Falcon

The 1969 Ford Falcon is a pivotal model in the Falcon lineup, notable for its range of engine options including the 200 CID I6, 250 CID I6, and 302 CID V8, producing horsepower between 115 and 210 hp and torque ratings from 150 to 300 lb-ft. Performance-wise, the Falcon could accelerate from 0-60 mph in about 10-12 seconds and reach a top speed of 105-115 mph, with available transmissions including a 3-speed manual, 4-speed manual, and 3-speed automatic. Its exterior design featured clean lines and a practical interior, emphasizing comfort and functionality, with options for power-assisted brakes and steering. While the U.S. models lacked a GT variant, Australia introduced the high-performance Falcon GT and GT-HO models equipped with a 351 V8 engine. The 1969 Falcon also marked a significant transitional point as it was the last model year before the Falcon nameplate was retired in North America, ending an era for Ford’s compact economy offerings.
