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!

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along
Wed, 24 Sep 2014You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.
