Search for 1964 Terry Falcon back on


General

Nearly two years ago, as my dad was dying of cancer, I attempted to find his old race car: a 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint that had once belonged to Ed Terry. Dave Redman generously located the old Hot Rod issue featuring the car, but my dad died a couple of days later, before I could give it to him. For a few weeks after he passed, I searched for the car, but I gave up after a while. (But not before talking to Ed Terry and several other people I met through this forum, who were all very helpful.)

Recently my dad's old friend Bill Dismuke (in Donalsonville, GA) ran into Ed at a car show, and it got me thinking about the car again. I know that my father (Bert Ingram) owned it in 1964, not long after Ed won the race that got the car into the Hot Rod issue, and that he bought it after a race in Pensacola, Florida. My dad sold it to a friend of his a year or so later, and it changed hands among his friends several times over the next couple of years. The last owner I'm aware of was Carl Sapp, who I think lived one town over in (or near) Bainbridge, Georgia. My mother has contacted him, and he doesn't know what became of the car.

Even if the car is still out there somewhere, it will be very difficult to locate, I know. But I want to try. I'm attaching a photo of the car from 1964, when it belonged to Ed Terry. If anyone has any information or any suggestions, I'm all ears. I'm currently trying to track down one or two other owners from the 1960s in the (probably unrealistic) hope that they have a registration or VIN info.

Thanks for your time- Tammy

~1964 issues of Hot Rod Magazine


General

Stephen: So sorry for the late reply, but thanks for reaching out! A kind member of this forum actually sent me the magazine, but I was just a few days too late and my dad died before he could see it. I'm still interested in finding the car, but I don't really know how to begin. I have some paperwork for it, but it's just specs for the engine. I couldn't find any old registrations or any way to track down owners other than the ones whose names my dad had mentioned over the years. The last owner I could find has no idea what became of the car.

~1964 issues of Hot Rod Magazine

Hi, all. I'm trying to locate an old issue of Hot Rod that featured a 1964 Falcon Sprint that my dad later owned. He thinks the issue was also from 1964, but I can't be 100% sure of that. At the time the car may have belonged to Ed Terry (whom I've also contacted), and apparently it was in the magazine after winning a major race. Shortly thereafter my dad saw it at a race in Florida and bought it on the spot. He raced it for a while in the Southeast (he lived in Southwest Georgia). The car meant a lot to my dad, but he has no photos of it. He's now battling pancreatic cancer, and I'd love to find some photos of the car to surprise him with for his upcoming 70th birthday. When I heard it had been in Hot Rod, I thought the easiest way to find a photo would be to identify the exact issue and try to find a back issue.

The car was a black hard top, and my dad always said it was originally sold at Broadway Motors/Broadway Ford in Oakland, CA. If I could find out more about the car, starting with the photos from Hot Rod, it would really lift his spirits. I'd sincerely appreciate any help you guys might be able to offer. Thank you for your time.

Whether or not the car was as unique and as well known as my dad has led me to believe, I don't know, but it certainly was special to him. If I could find out more about the car, starting with the photos from Hot Rod, it would really lift his spirits. I'd sincerely appreciate any help you guys might be able to offer.
