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. 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. Thank you for your time.
