 1962 Ford Falcon Futura - 2 door sedan - One Owner car - Purchased in Minnesota lived there for 6 months and moved to Augusta until now.  The car has been garage kept and is in excellent condition for it's age.  I have most of the service records for the car. 

The car is equipped with a 200 c.i. straight six with a 3 speed on the column.  The motor was rebuilt several years ago and has low mileage.  New radiator and fuel pump.  It runs and drives excellent, shifts smooth and has a very nice ride.  Recently driven 120 plus miles on highway at 65+ mph.  The car has a lot of torque with the 3 speed and 200 motor.  It has power on the highway and you don't feel like you are getting run over by the modern guys.  The car has new tires in great condition with original hubcaps. 

The exterior has been painted a few times over the years.  The paint looks good but does have some imperfections.  The hood has some small cracking of the paint.  There are a few nicks off of the paint on the rockers and minor places on the body.  The car has some minor dings but no major dents.  The top of the car is very nice and everything lines up really nice for a ford.  The car has never been in an accident and has no bondo or filler in the car.  It's extremely straight (scary straight).  The car looks really good from 15 feet.  I would give the paint about a 6.6 but very good driver quality.  The bumpers are straight no bends or anything.  The chrome is in great condition small surface rusting on the top and a little fade but the shine like crazy.  All the chrome trim is great shape except a small ding in the chrome on the drivers door near the seam - looks like someone bumped it with a car door.  All badges and logos present.  The trunk is in excellent condition with original style liner - spare cover and tool bag.  Surface rust in the truck but nothing major - easily treated and stopped.  The only rust I could find in the car is directly behind the driver seat and it's a few small places that someone put a small patch over inside the car (simple fix)

The interior has been redone some time ago but it's tasteful.  The dash and doors were painted back to factory color and are in excellent condition.  The seats, door panels, headliner and carpet were replaced.  They are in excellent condition and the interior shows really well.  If you want to take it back to factory this is the perfect car - all of the seat covers and door panels are available.  The headliner is all there has some stains but is in overall great driver condition.  Original visors in great shape.  The drivers window needs a little help going up and down but all windows do roll up and down.  The car does need new vent window seals, window scrappers and rear window seal.  The vent windows bring in a good amount of air through old seal.  The rear window is not leaking I just noticed that it probably could use a seal sooner or later.  The car has a aftermarket tape deck and two speakers in the back - nothing special but it's tunes.  Instrument cluster in good shape a few small imperfections.  Speedo works and gas gauge.  Temp sensor gauge does not - work on that.  The heat works it's just not that strong - i think on of the vents in the heater box is stuck close - working on that.  All lights and turn signals works.  The reverse lights have been unhooked.  The steering wheel is in fair condition and the horn works but the contact ring is messed up - needs to be worked on a little.  The emergency brake works but needs a little adjusting.

The car runs and drives excellent has good brakes.  It's registered, tagged, insured and daily driven.  Floats down the road while snapping necks. 

Overall this is an amazing example of a 1962 Ford Falcon Futura. This car could be taken in some many directions.  Drive it like it is or paint it and put the factory interior back.  It's really a straight and amazing driving car.  It has just two minor rust places. 

The car is being sold AS-IS with a Bill of Sale as required by the state of Georgia.  I do not have a Title to this car. 

The buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping and the arrangement of either option.

A deposit is required and the remaining balance should be paid within 72 hours of auction closing.  The remaining balance is to be paid in cash preferably.  I will not accept the remaining balance via paypal.  Arrangements to pick up the car must be made in a timely manner (within 72 hours of auction close).  I will do my best to make the transaction as simple as possible. 

Please email with any questions or leave a phone number if you would like to discuss the car. 

Please only bid on this car if you intent on purchasing the car.  And lowball bidders have been set up to be declined automatically.  Thanks in advanced.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.

From CrabWalks at dawn to post-testing sushi: An inside look at Autoblog’s Tech of the Year Award

Thu, Dec 1 2022

TROY, Mich. — On a chilly fall morning, Senior Editor John Snyder rolled into a sleepy suburban park tucked away next to a cemetery a few miles north of Detroit. Driving diagonally — CrabWalking — in the GMC Hummer EV, he made quite the entrance as he maneuvered across the parking lot to the bemusement of Autoblog editors and a few curious park-goers up for their early morning runs.  Snyder got everyoneÂ’s attention, and as we evaluate the latest wave of technologies transforming the automotive industry, pizazz matters. We added "wow factor" to our criteria for the 2022 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award, in keeping with the times. The HummerÂ’s CrabWalk feature might have won, had wowness been the only criteria, but we also scored the technologies on significance and how well they work.  As it was, the Hummer finished a competitive second this year, behind FordÂ’s Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch, which make towing and hauling easier for modern truck owners. The Genesis GV60Â’s Biometrics was within striking distance in third place, bringing the facial recognition and fingerprint tech commonly used in phones to your car. For more on FordÂ’s win — its second straight Autoblog Technology of the Year Award — read Road Test Editor Zac PalmerÂ’s complete recap. Many have asked: Why do Tech of the Year? For Autoblog, itÂ’s been a point of pride for nearly a decade. In the early days it was a way to differentiate ourselves from print magazines, some of which have been giving out car of the year awards since the early days of the Cold War. With Tech of the Year, we seek to highlight the ways experiencing a vehicle is changing. It was true in 2013 and resonates even more as we head into 2023. Cars and transportation have changed more in the past decade than in arguably the previous four. At its most basic experience, driving a 1985 Buick LeSabre with a decent radio and comfy interior was not all that different from driving a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. Just a few years later, many cars had touchscreens, the internet and some means of driver assistance. Ford joins Tesla as the only two-time winner of Tech of the Year. The Blue Oval captured the award last year for its Pro Power Onboard generator. Tesla won in 2014 for its Supercharger network, and the Model S won in 2016, when we briefly gave out a “technology car” of the year award, in addition to honoring a particular feature.
