The second generation of the Ford Falcon, introduced in 1964, featured a more squared-off design. During the same year, Ford launched the Mustang, heavily based on the Falcon’s frame design. The Falcon received a Sprint Package in 1964, which included the Fairlane’s 260 V8 engine, a firmer suspension, and a louder exhaust. However, the Sprint couldn’t compete with the Mustang, and sales declined. The Mustang’s popularity dealt a significant blow to Falcon sales, and the Sprint was discontinued after 1965. Minor changes were made for the 1965 model year, including a simplified grille and revised side trim for deluxe models. The production of convertible Falcons ended in June 1965. Optional features included a padded instrument panel, power steering, power brakes, a radio, remote-control trunk release, and a parking brake warning light. The three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission became available in 1965, and front seat belts were standard.
