The car is a 1964 Ford Falcon with the wedge style body rather than the rounded & smother body style of the 1963. Jay Leno has a very nice 1963 Falcon Sprint that he obtained, look up Jay's 1963 to compare the body style.

You are correct it is a 64 or maybe a 65 but NOT a 63 which had more rounded fenders. Also disc brakes were not homologated for 63.
