1962 Ford Falcon 
4 Door Wagon
170 Straight Six Engine
With 3 Speed on the column 

Would make a great daily driver with little work.
Indications show that this could be a 90k original mile car but not guaranteed.
Clean title
Runs and drives. Could use a tuneup, carburetor rebuild and new muffler. Brakes work, condition unknown.
This is a really good car for a daily driver or restoration car.
If interested in viewing the vehicle send me your phone number and I will get back with you to make arrangements.

EXTERIOR:  
All glass is good and intact. There is a couple chip repairs that are visible in the windshield but it is not cracked.
Lots of Trim. Condition good to excellent.  I have all trim except the drivers door
Original 13 inch wheels,beauty rings and hubcaps
Very nice original Chrome roof rack.
There is some bondo in the tailgate and in the drivers door.

INTERIOR:  
Back seat is original and very nice 2 tone blue.  Front seat is original 2 tone blue but has a tear in the drivers area.
Headliner is all there and in good shape except the last two feet.
Padded Dash is not cut up at all.

MISCELLANEOUS:
Front floor pans have small area of rust.
There is also a small amount of rust about the size of a dime in the spare tire well. 
Some minor bubbling in the doors and some surface rust but overall a very solid car.

Even though It was driven 1 yr ago about 12 miles to where it is sitting now. The car has not been on the road regularly since 2000. It will need a through going through to make sure it is road worthy.

It is my opinion that with weatherstripping, a tune up, a complete inspection of the brakes and a new muffler you would have no problem using this as a safe and reliable daily driver.

I have added information on the Factory breakdown of this car BELOW that was sent to me. ( It says 1961 but because it was late 61 it is titled 1962)

Here's what the UAW will be angling for in next year's contract negotiations

Mon, Dec 15 2014

The United Auto Workers union is about to enter a new round of negotiations with the Detroit Three automakers, and this time, the focus is on the end of the two-tier wage system. Introduced in 2007, the two-tier wage system was enacted to allow General Motors, Ford and Chrysler to categorize its hourly employees under two categories: Tier 1 for veteran employees with full rights and benefits, and Tier 2 for short-term or entry-level employees compensated under a different schedule. The idea was that the system would permit the automakers to invest more in their plants and hire new employees as part of their respective recovery plans without being saddled with all the costs associated with hiring full-time employees. Now that the automakers are (more or less) back on their proverbial feet, however, the UAW wants to see an end to the two-tier system, and will likely make that a center-point of its negotiations next year to replace the current arrangement that is scheduled to end in September 2015. Not all members of the UAW will necessarily be interested in ending the two-tier system, however. According to The Detroit News, some Tier 1 workers may be more interested in negotiating a raise in their hourly rate – something which they haven't received in almost a decade. Tier 2 workers, meanwhile, may be more motivated to keep the tiered system in place, as their arrangement includes provisions for profit-sharing payments that have seen the automakers pay out billions to so-called short-term employees in lump-sum payments. Reconciling the two competing demands from two categories of union members and presenting a united front in negotiations may prove the biggest challenge for the UAW's new president, Dennis Williams. And with the right to strike – something which was suspended during the last round of negotiations in 2011 – the union has a bigger bargaining chip in its pocket.

Ford profits soar as problems mount

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."

Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.

The first gives an idea of just how hard it was to fit the blimp through the exit of the arena, and the second is a time-lapse look from someone right next to the action. All these clips need is Yakety Sax as background music for some true Internet gold. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
