1961 Ford Falcon 2 Door Station Wagon (like Sedan Delivery) on 2040-cars
Ada, Oklahoma, United States
|
I will try to describe this car best as I can. This is a very restorable vehicle.....The body is in good conditon...no major damage or rust. The only rust through I could see was two small holes on the hood, which IMO could be easily fixed with a MIG ......fenders, doors, quarters, tailgate good condition......I didn't crawl under car but there will be some floor work required but I dont think a total replacement.
Overall rust is not a major issue .. The rust you see in the photo is 99.9% surface rust. All the glass is in the car except the passenger vent window and all is in good condition.....Front seat is missing but I believe a two door Falcon coupe has same seat...rear seat is there...instrument panel good condition... All the trim is on the car, One trim piece. on the upper rear left quarter looks like somebody was bending it on purpose.....some dings in other trim but not bad and can be fixed..... Since it is stainless a professional could restore all pieces...one piece would take considerable work. the other only minor work.. Engine is a six banger, with a three on the tree tranny...believe it or not this car was a good running vehicle when parked about 40 years ago....hood has never been up since then so no water got on the engine...the oil is clean in the engine......I would almost bet that it would start with new points, plugs wires and carb rebuild...Remember it has been sitting in a fairly dry environment jn Oklahoma... I was going to haul this back to Florida but when I went to get it I had with me 14 inch tires and discovered that it has 13 inch four lug rims...that is why it is on blocks as I took three of the wheels off to get tires mounted.......i am almost sure the brake drums will be difficult to turn since it has been sitting for a long time and possible they will require replacement, I picked up a 57 Dodge same day I bought this and had to cut the brake drums off....Chances are the drums will have to be replaced anyway on the Falcon....\\ . Fortunately the dry Oklahoma weather didn't take it's toll on this collectible car and although the surface rust makes it look rough, it really is not....... Had it been down here in Florida with me it would be a rust bucket......whew.....It will require a little work to get the brake drums to turn and load this car on a trailer. Also the rear springs will need to be replaced as a couple of the leafs are broken. This I understand was a major problem on early Falcons because they are only 2 inches wide. I believe in 64 they put the 2.5 inch mustang type springs on Falcons....a good move on Ford's part......The car can be loaded and trailered but those springs will have to be replaced. I have found repo springs for about $100........... I will deliver this car to anywhere in just about the whole southeast for the cost of $1 a mile from it's current location. I will not deliver north of Oklahoma or west of Oklahoma...... Draw a line from Oklahoma City to Tallahassee FL and I will deliver anywhere close to that... otherwise it is LOCAL PICKUP only......Remember it will require some brake drum work....I have three 13 inch tires in the car but they need to be mounted. Best thing would be to bring four good four lug ford rims with tires and a trailer... Once again I will not arrange shipping other than where I have stated. It would be up to you to go get the car or arrange shipping. Since it will be hard to load take that into consideration BEFORE you bid......... The car is located in Ada, Oklahoma I do not have a title but can get one for an additional $250 over the selling price. It belonged to my uncle last and the Oklahoma DMV said it cost that much to get a duplicate title....... It will take a couple weeks to do that after the sale of the car...otherwise you will get a bill of sale and you can obtain your own title. Different states have different rules and cost for obtaining a title for non titled car...again take that into consideration BEFORE you bid.... This is a rare Falcon..I have not seen another one in a long time ...This wagon is five times as rare as a two door coupe and the least produced of all the Falcon lines.......two doors are very desireable ......I love the looks of the windows in ths car............. I can be reached at 850 377 8472 with any questions or send me an email.. I will accept pay pal for deposit and it is NON REFUNDABLE due with two days of sale...full price due within a week.....no exceptions..... I am honest you be honest with me....... |

Feds looking into Ford Explorer exhaust leak complaints
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There may be a burgeoning problem with exhaust leaks in the 2011-2014 model year Ford Explorer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining multiple complaints of a gasoline smell in the cabin of these SUVs. However, the exact cause of this problem is still unknown.
"The agency is reviewing all available data and will take appropriate action as warranted," said a NHTSA spokesperson in an email to Automotive News. Owners seem to generally complain on the regulator's website of the smell entering the cabin through the air vents. At this time, the government organization has not yet opened an official investigation into the problem, though. When it does begin inspecting vehicles, NHTSA posts a detailed breakdown of its public data online.
Similar problems have been reported about the Explorer in the past, though. In 2013, Ford issued a recall for the 2013 model year of the SUV due to a fuel leak that could cause drivers to smell a gasoline odor and repaired them again later for another possible leak. In response to Autoblog's questions, Ford responded via email: "We are not aware of a NHTSA investigation. We are currently reviewing the case and in the event that any action is required, we will address it promptly."
Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number
Tue, 02 Sep 2014The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
