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. |

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
How the 2015 Ford Mustang will save your knees
Sat, 21 Jun 2014The 2015 Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated vehicles of the moment, and Ford continues to leak out interesting little details about its newest pony car. The latest info doesn't have anything to do with its quarter-mile time or handling, but if any of that goes drastically wrong, the innovative new glovebox-mounted airbag may prevent passengers from knee injuries.
All variants of the 2015 Mustang get the active knee airbag as standard, and it's the first vehicle in Ford's lineup to receive the system. The setup is actually quite simple and ingenious. The glovebox is made from a plastic outer panel that is attached to the inner door. Sandwiched between them is this new injection-molded plastic bladder that folds flat when in use. If the passenger-side airbag deploys, the system springs into action to act as a cushion for your knees. Compared to a traditional knee airbag that has to fully inflate, this arrangement is 65 percent lighter and can use a 75 percent smaller inflator. It's also basically invisible when you look at the glovebox door.
Ford spokesperson Ed Saenz declined to tell Autoblog whether the system will appear in other vehicles in the Blue Oval's lineup but said, "We're considering other applications." Provided it's effective, the approach seems too simple not to make its way to other products. Scroll down to watch a video showing how the glovebox-mounted knee airbag works.
Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford 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."
