1963 Ford Falcon

This is a 1963.5 Falcon, a 6-month-only model. I have had it since 2010. In that time, it has been hotrodded in different ways. For several years, it has existed on a 1992 Corvette-based chassis (front and rear frame sections to include suspension, brakes, and steering). If you're not into Chevy-fied Fords, walk away now. If you can stomach such an improvement, please continue.
This car has been set up to enjoy activities like autocross and track days at places like Laguna Seca and Road Atlanta. It has in fact run both of these tracks, among others, quite enjoyably. Please consider this an explanation for why the car has no heater, no wipers, no carpet, no sound deadening, and no horn. It does have all of the original Ford glass, however.
If you search the Grassroots Motorsports build threads (Falcon), you might find a kind of build review to its current state.
So again, it actually has front and rear independent suspension, rack and pinion steering, disc brakes, amazing geometry, and a staggering weight bias from a 1992 Corvette--I put it there myself, around a tube frame of 2x3 steel. It also has a completely new steel (sheetmetal) interior and a full roll cage (mild steel, not chromoly). This car is not a boring restoration candidate, so again, if it's not your speed, please look away. You have to desire a mongrel hotrod that is driven from the back seat area.
The current motivation for the car is a brand new GM LS3, with a Summit 8710 cam, dual valve springs, and 50-lb injectors, all of which is run by a Holley Terminator X-Max (with drive-by-wire throttle). With this cam, this engine dyno tests between 550 and 580 horsepower. It's peppy.
The transmission is a brand new Tremec TKX 5-speed. Clutch is hydraulic (LS7 disc/pressure plate).
Front brakes are Baer four-pots, and the rears are the factory Corvette PBR two-pots. All master cylinders are Wilwood, as are the clutch and brake pedals (with remote bias adjuster). It stops.
The Corvette monoleaf springs have been converted to QA-1 single-adjustable coilovers (a Van Steel kit) front and rear, and the front sway bar is a bit fatter than stock. It actually rides pretty nicely.
Wheels are 17x11 C4 ZR1 knockoffs at all four corners, with 315/35 Nitto NT05s.
Seats are Kirkey aluminum (with covers), for smallish people. I am just under 5'9, so good luck if you are tall or wide. Changes are possible, if you are handy. Generally speaking, this is not a car for non-handy people.
Oh, and the fenders have been cut and flared (welded) at all four corners to fit the wheels and ride height; no, this was not a Bondo experiment; everything is metal. This is not a pretty car, and the paint is terrible at any point closer than 15 feet; most of the current paint (down the center, obviously not the sides) was on it when I bought it.
Presently, the drivetrain has about 60 miles on it; yes, it runs and drives great, and it is currently registered in GA. I've just lost interest, and I never drive this thing except to make sure the tires aren't square. I have receipts for everything.
Price is $25,000 or best offer--I am really just testing the waters here. If you have a 1947-64 Willys pickup truck (4wd), I may be interested in a partial trade.
