Selling my 1962 Falcon project to make room in the garage. I have owned this car about 10 years and in that time I have made a ton of upgrades. I started with a super clean 80K survivor southern car with its original interior. The body was grease under coated back in the 60's which preserved the floor pans and under structure. I started on the body work but only got as far as removing some aftermarket side moldings and removing some old body filler. The spots I removed filler from have primer on them as seen in the photos. There is an old repaired dent in the passenger door that was probably done in the 60's, and some bubbling on the drivers rear wheel arch (both shown in the pics) along with various other small dents. Other than that the car has only been painted twice in 51 years and remains as I purchased it 10 years ago. 


When I bought the car, it had a tired 6 cyl with a two speed Fordomatic. I removed the old drivetrain and installed a 5.0 roller long block with a Holley carb, Ford AOD trans, and a rear axle from a 75 Maverick Grabber. The engine internally is stock but has polished aluminum valve covers, air cleaner, intake, chrome oil pan, and front accessories from a 65 Mustang. The alternator is a PA performance 130 amp 2 wire conversion which eliminates the stock voltage regulator. I also added a Mallory HEI distributor and a Performance Parts balancer. The radiator is 2 row aluminum with an internal trans cooler and stainless shroud. The exhaust is stock 1965 Mustang duals with stock 1962 Falcon sedan delivery V8 manifolds. 

The transmission is a stock AOD from an 88 Mustang LX. I installed a TCI constant pressure valve body to prevent problems from improper TV cable adjustments. Otherwise it is stock internally. It has a Lokar Hi-Tech TV cable installed and a custom Lokar shift linkage that retains the stock column shifter. 

The rear axle is 8" stock unit from a 75 Maverick Grabber V8. It did not have a tag on it when I got it but I am guessing it has somewhere around 3.00 gears non posi. I cleaned the whole housing and painted it but did not change anything internally. I had planned on putting in a 3.55 posi unit into it in the future. 

The brakes are completely rebuilt and upgraded to 1976 Grenada front discs with slotted rotors and rebuilt 75 Maverick V8 rear brakes. I replaced all the brake lines and hoses and added an adjustable rear proportioning valve. I also added a dual bowl master cylinder for safety. 

The gas tank is brand new and I also converted the fuel pump to a Holley red electric pump. It runs through an oil pressure shutoff switch for safety. 

The car has 17x7 chrome Foose Legend wheels with brand new Kuhmo Ecsta tires. These wheels and tires alone cost over $1500 and go with the car. 

The car has all of its original outside chrome and stainless and it is in driver condition. I also added a nice set of Futura stainless upper door trim that gives the car a hardtop look. All of the glass is original and will need polished but has no cracks or bad chips. Should clean up nice. 

The interior is 90% original and in really nice shape for being 51 years old. There are a few tears in the vinyl, the worst of which are shown in the pictures. The door panels are fair but could be replaced. The carpet was replaced with newer plush style and is in good shape. The headliner is also newer and in good condition. It would not take much to get it looking great. 

The dash and gauges are all original and functional. The generator warning light could not be hooked up to the 2 wire alternator but you could easily add an amp gauge if you wanted. The heater is functional and blows hot air for cold weather cruises. The odometer shows just over 88k original miles on the car. The steering wheel has a few cracks but is perfectly serviceable for a driver. 

All of the outside lights and turn signals are functional including the hi beams. The original tail lights have blue dots installed. 

The car also comes with an original radio and antenna in good condition, original bumper jack, a nice set of Futura wrap around dash trim and glove box door, and an extra set of fender emblems in good condition (see picture).

The car starts right up, runs, drives, and stops. I have not really driven it any farther than up and down the street though and it will still need some adjustments to be road ready, mostly an alignment. I was planning on taking it back apart to paint so I never bothered to get it dialed in. It would not take much to get it on the road though. 

If you're looking for an easy project that you can drive while you fix up this is perfect for you. I have more than double my starting price invested in it already but I need to move it to make room. The car has a clear title in my name and is ready to go. No reserve so highest bidder takes her home. Good Luck!

Hot Wheels' 2022 Green Speed cars bring EVs to small scale

Sun, Apr 24 2022

With more and more EVs hitting the market, it was only a matter of time before the new breed of cars would find representation in diecast form. For 2022, Hot Wheels is coming out with a new Green Speed series that puts the spotlight on a diverse lineup of electric cars. The five-car series features a fun mix of EVs from different manufacturers and in a wide range of styles. Some are completely bone stock. For a traditional luxury sedan, there's a Lucid Air in silver, complete with glass (or in this case, clear plastic) canopy. For fans of Teutonic 4-door "coupes" there's the Audi RS e-Tron GT in Daytona Gray. Ticking the truck box is a Hummer EV in a yellow that can only be described as a throwback to the H3. But because this is Hot Wheels, there are "hot-rodded" variants in the lineup as well. Rather than just a regular Nissan Leaf, they've elected to cast the carbon fiber-bodied NISMO RC 2.0 race car. Likewise with Ford, instead of the standard Mustang Mach-E, they've gone with the Mustang Mach-E 1400 drift car. This isn't the first time Hot Wheels has put out a Green Speed series. The line debuted in 2016 but reflected the limited EV choices in the real car market at the time. The only non-fantasy cars in the series were a first-gen Tesla Roadster, a Tesla Model S, and Chevy Volt. Hot Wheels revisited the line again in 2019, this time adding a Tesla Model 3 and a Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. Hot Wheels also makes other mini EVs that don't fall into this specific line of models. If you want to collect 'em all, there's the second-generation Tesla Roadster concept, Cybertruck, Jaguar I-Pace, Pininfarina Battista, Porsche Taycan, and a Volkswagen ID R. Similarly, Matchbox has released a version of the Tesla Roadster with sustainable packaging to boot. If you must have an old school gasoline burner, Hot Wheels has plenty of options for you too, like, say, this snazzy FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser. The 2022 Hot Wheels Green Speed series should be on shelves at your local retailers now. Related Video:

Ford to show special edition Raptor on April 9

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

There are precious few details, but what we do know is that Ford will be revealing images of "appearance upgrades" for a special-edition 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor on April 9. The slideshow will happen during a Motor Press Guild luncheon at Ford's Design Center Showroom in Irvine, California.
Without photos or further details, we're left to wonder about the extent of these changes, but aren't expecting anything too significant given the venue. Ford is understood to be revealing a next-generation F-150 with a big weight loss - as much as 700 pounds - for 2014, though it isn't yet clear if that's the truck's model year or simply its on-sale year. For at least a couple of years, Ford forums have been suggesting changes will come with the 2014 Raptor, so there could still be a bigger surprise in store. Either way, we'll know what all this means in a little more than a week. The press release below has the official details, but for the moment, we'll content ourselves by ogling the 2013 model above.

Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."
