1962 Ford Falcon Futura 2 Dr - One Owner - No Accidents - 200ci - 3 Spd on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
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. |

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals
Sun, Mar 3 2024EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores
Tue, 29 Apr 2014The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.
2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.
