1962 Ford Falcon Futura 2 Dr - One Owner - No Accidents - 200ci - 3 Spd on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
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. |

8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs
Thu, Jul 31 2014We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.
Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war
Mon, Jun 4 2018Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis
Thu, Nov 20 2014Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall
