Is the Ford Falcon available in the US?
The Ford Falcon is not available as a new car in the United States today. The U.S. market saw Falcons in the 1960s and into the early 1970s, but Ford discontinued the model there, while the Falcon name lived on in Australia until 2016. In short, there is no current US-spec Falcon on sale from Ford.
Overview: where the Falcon has been sold
To understand current availability, it helps to separate the US market from Ford Australia, which kept a distinct Falcon lineup for decades. The Falcon’s fate differs by region: a legacy in the U.S. from the 1960s-1970s and a long-running Australian model until 2016.
U.S. availability: a historical snapshot
Key facts about the Falcon's presence in the United States over the years.
- The Ford Falcon name was used in the U.S. for a compact car line from the early 1960s until roughly 1970–1971.
- U.S. production ended as Ford shifted its emphasis to other models, with the Maverick and other entries filling the small-car space in the early 1970s.
- Ford Australia continued a separate Falcon lineage, producing the model there until its discontinuation in 2016.
- Today, Ford does not offer a Falcon for sale in the U.S. market as of 2025.
In short, the Falcon is not available as a new car in the U.S. today; the model’s U.S. era ended decades ago, while the Australian Falcon persisted until 2016.
How someone could own a Falcon in the U.S. today
Options for enthusiasts who want a Falcon-oriented experience in the U.S. include classic-car purchases or regulated imports of older vehicles.
- Buy a classic U.S.-market Falcon from the 1960s-1970s through classic-car dealers, auctions, or private sales.
- Consider importing a vehicle that is at least 25 years old to the United States under the import rules that exempt certain safety standards for older vehicles; this often requires compliance work to be road-legal.
- Importing an Australian-made Falcon is possible but involves extra steps, including handling right-hand-drive variants, conformity issues, and potential modifications for U.S. roads.
- Work with a licensed importer/broker to navigate paperwork, registration, and any state-level inspections.
Owning a Falcon in the U.S. today is feasible primarily as a vintage collectible or via a legally imported older model, but it is not a current-new Ford offering in the American market.
Summary
The Ford Falcon is not currently sold in the United States as a new vehicle. The U.S. Falcon era ended in the early 1970s, while the Australian Falcon lineup continued until 2016. For U.S. buyers, options exist only as classic-era Falcons or legally imported older models, with careful attention to import rules, safety standards, and registration requirements.
