Lacombe, Louisiana, United States
|
Introduction
Listed for sale is a 1962 Ford Falcon that is an original straight 6 cylinder car that has been converted to a 302 configuration. It has a clear title and original ID tag. The car has undergone a complete transformation throughout the past 10 or so years. The car was completely stripped of all major components, and has had close to all parts replaced. The car has been completely gone through. The majority of the parts were purchased as brand new parts from major vendor such as Summit Racing, Dearborn Classics, Chris Alstons chassis works, etc… The only parts that were not purchased new were some of the V8 front brake parts such as spindles, but were thoroughly cleaned, prepped, and painted. We have a gigantic folder with all of the receipts for every part or service purchased for the car that will be included with the sale. There is way too much to list. The list adds up to many thousands and thousands of dollars of solid quality parts. The car and all of its parts literally have no more than 1 MILE on them. The car has been garage kept the entire time. Below are the general upgrades that have been performed on the car, but are nowhere near everything that has been purchased for the car. A complete list of parts and services purchased for the car can verified per the receipts folder we have. The majority of the car’s renovation was completed in 2009 with exception to a few areas that have yet to be addressed. I would consider this 95% restored. The car is very very nice, but it is not perfect. There are a few areas that still need to be addressed. Further detail on items yet to be addressed are detailed below. Drivetrain Engine - The shortblock was built by John’s machine shop of Slidell. It is an early 1980’s 302 block bored to 4.060” with a stock crankshaft, stock connecting rods, and aftermarket pistons. The engine is 311 c.i. The top end consists of E7TE Cylinder heads with crane roller rockers, a Weind complete intake package with intake with Holley 670 Holley Carburetor, Lunati cam, lifters, and timing set. All fuel lines from front to back are new. The car has a holley air cleaner, a Mallory distributor, ford motorsport oil pan, new timing cover, ARP bolts throughout engine, very nice pulley set, Dearborn motor mount V-8 Conversion, Falcon enterprises fuel tank, Autocrafters Alternator, Starter, fuel pump, alternator brackets, MSD coil, Taylor 8mm sparkplug wires, heddman headers with custom flowmaster exhaust that cuts out by the rear end. The exhaust has some serious rumble to it. If you prefer something quieter, I would recommend running a full exhaust to the rear bumper. Transmission - The Transmission is a TCI street fighter transmission with a HD pump, 3800 TCI stall converter and new Bell housing. It has a Hurst shifter, Melvin’s transmission mounts, radiator, custom bent transmission cooler lines with pressure fittings, and a Custom driveshaft. Chassis / Suspension Rear end – The car has a Chris Alston’s Chassis works complete adjustable ladder bar suspension package complete with coil overs, 8.8 rear end out of late model mustang, Moser 5 lug 28 spline axles. The gearing is a 3.73:1 ratio. Brakes – The car has Manual Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. The car has all new brake lines, a new Master Cylinder, Line lock, and proportioning valve. It has Melvin’s complete front suspension package for V8 Falcon’s with new upper and lower control arms, tie rod ends, all new bushings, drag link, pitman arms, shocks, coil springs, etc… Interior The car has a dearborn headliner, new whether stripping throughout, moldings, door locks, arm rests, carpet, door panels, window seals, floor mats, Melvin’s horns speakers, turn signals. The seats were redone by local auto interior shop named Custom Canvas and are very nice. There was a mishap when doing some of the interior work and something put some light stains on the front bench seat. It was very frustrating but it still looks nice. Exterior The car has never been in an accident. This is evident by all frame rails, panels, etc… Nothing looks bent and everything is very straight. The car has been painted its original color. The bumpers were re-chromed by a vendor named the Chrome shop. The rims are new Weld racing draglite rims. The front are 15x5, Rear are 15x8 with BF Goodrich Tires. Yet to be addressed: The car was converted from a Generator to an Alternator set up. There is a wiring issue that does not allow the battery to charge properly, so until this is addressed, we would not advise driving the car to far. We would advise that the car be trailered to its destination until this is resolved. A few body decals and details have not been installed. They are of course included with the sale. 2 window moldings need to be replaced. The Front and rear lights work including brake lights, but the blinkers do not. The windshield wipers do not work. There is a spot here and there that needs to be touched up as far as paint goes. It is not a $10k paint job but it looks very nice. The car only has 1 headlight aluminum cover, the other is missing. Conclusion As you can see there has been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears put into the car. The reason for selling it is because my brother (the owner) simply does not have the means to further the car to a 100% full restoration and enjoy it and needs the money for other life goals. The car will need to be picked up
at the private residence it resides at.
It does not have insurance and due to the wiring issue that does not
fully allow the battery to charge, meeting somewhere will not work. It will run and drive for a while, but eventually, the battery will need to be charged until the issue is resolved. I’ve looked into what the wiring issue looks
to be a simple fix but am unsure. Upon
pick-up, the car can be test driven in the neighborhood. The car is very light. Couple that with a 311 c.i. engine,
performance trans, gearing and suspension and yes, it accelerates very quicky! If you require certain pictures of a certain
area, please contact me and I can get those to you. This a very nice car, and its owner will be not
be disappointed. The car is sold as is. Thanks for looking! Questions and contact information: Please call 985-640-5820 after 5:00 central time for questions regarding the car. There is a $1000 deposit required within the first 48 hours of the auction end. On Jul-26-14 at 19:51:03 PDT, seller added the following information: An additional Contact number that can be reached for further information is 1-985-285-0901. Thanks! |

Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught
Fri, 18 Apr 2014In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.
2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty Power Stroke
Tue, 29 Jul 2014What weighs 30,000 pounds? Big Ben's Westminster bell. A navy ship anchor. Or as we found out during our first drive program for the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty, seven pallets of cinder blocks loaded onto a dual-axle gooseneck trailer. The test was part of a raft of towing demonstrations that showcased the new Super Duty's impressive tug capacity, which maxes out at 32,100 pounds. That's 1,200 more than its nearest rival, the Ram 3500, when equipped with its upgraded 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8. Such is the heavy-duty pickup truck business, a diesel-fueled game of one-upmanship with only three players: Ford, Chevrolet/GMC and Ram. And in this game, the one with the most torque wins.
Until 2014, Ford was the one to beat, with its 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel bringing 400 hp and a massive 800 lb-ft of torque to the table. Then last year, Ram did exactly that, serving Ford with a beefed-up Cummins turbodiesel inline-six in its freshened Ram Heavy Duty truck line with 385 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to tow up to 30,000 pounds. But Ford claims it had designed its engine to be relatively easy to upgrade when the time called for it, so for 2015, Ford bolted a larger turbo to the Power Stroke, bringing output to an insane 440 hp and 860 lb-ft of twist, all without reducing fuel efficiency. Maximum tow capacity rises from 24,700 lbs to an incredible 31,200 lbs for the F-450 dually.
As for GM's HDs? They lag behind the lot with their 6.6-liter Duramax V-8, producing 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. Yeah, you know things are serious when the trucks with 765 lb-ft are the knock-kneed wimps of the lot.
