1963 Ford Falcon
Only 85,665 Original Miles
*LOW RESERVE*
Ever wonder what people saw when they bought a used falcon in the late 60's or early 70's? Well now you can see for yourself. Maybe you were there and want to remember what they looked like. Well now you can. This car is a true survivor with only 85,665 original miles currently on it. I get comments and thumbs up all the time in this car and you will too.
This 4 door sedan has a 144 ci straight six engine with a 3 speed on the column standard transmission. This car starts every time and runs great and runs smooth. It has a new clutch, new muffler and new ignition switch as of last winter, manual choke, good tires, all good glass, no rips or tears in the front seat, headliner or door panels, all gages and lights work and no dents in the car at all.
The only thing that isn't original on this car, that I can tell, is someone recovered the front seat and the car was repainted the original color at some point.
So you're probably wondering about any issues it may have right?
Well I'll say that is doesn't have many but there are a few and I've listed here below. This is not an exhaustive list but as complete a list as I can put together based on my knowledge of the car.
- Back Seat- The back seat (the part you sit on) needs to be redone. It is ripped in many places. By the looks of it the material just rotted out, someone sat on it and that was it. (it is 50 yrs old after all) I put a sheet over it as you can see in the pics so we can sit on it without getting cotton padding all over us. The back of the seat is just fine.
- Gas Mileage- It currently gets about 20mpg I have talked with other Falcon owners and some are getting 25mpg I think this car could be improved with electronic points and a complete tune up.
- Radiator- It does not normally have any overheating issues at all but one hot day I did notice that it got pretty warm, like close to overheating. It didnt overheat but got close. I tested it out another time I went out on a warm day and I went up this long steep hill (about 1 mile at 12% grade) and it got a little warmer than usual but not hot. I'm thinking that the radiator is probably going to need rodded out soon. If you live in a warm climate then sooner the better so no damage occurs accidentally the one time you forget about it. Just to be clear, these occurrences DID NOT do any damage and there IS NOT an overheating issue with this car I am telling you this to let you know what you are buying.
- Rust- This is the big question in these cars isn't it? Well, I have been under the car myself looking around for issues and I can say that I didn't see any rust issues at all. However, as you will see in the pics there is a small spot on both back doors that is bubbling in the bottom corners. there is no rust under the doors but for some reason the outside panel is bubbling. It is currently little bubbles clustered together all totaling about the size of a quarter on each door. (see pics)
- Paint- As stated before, this car was repainted. Thankfully someone decided to repaint it the same color that the car was originally to match the colors up but frankly, in my opinion, the paint job is a cheap paint job. It has a little bit of flaking below the trunk area by where you fill the gas. That's the worst part of flaking but there are a couple small (pencil eraser size) spots around the car that have flaked also. Nothing major at all and I don't have any reason to believe that the whole car will flake or anything like that. There are some little drips and splatters here and there that bother me but you may not even notice them. Overall I am a bit of a perfectionist and the paint is not perfect mostly due to poor masking techniques which is why I am glad they painted it the same color as original. This car looks very nice at about 10ft away.
- Trim- There is a little ding in the chrome trim on the drivers side in the back below the word falcon. Not ugly but noticeable if you're looking for it. 10ft away it is barely noticeable. There is also a scratch in another piece of trim on the passenger side but barely noticeable at 5 feet away.
- Sun Visors- From the factory they were made of cardboard. They are both complete with no tears but both of them the sewed seam is coming out. I thought about taking it to an auto upholstery guy to have him re-sew it but never got around to doing it.
- Dome light- The dome light does work but I just noticed that you have to fidgit with the button in the door jamb for it to work when the drivers door is open.
- Gas Gage- it does work but only goes down to 1/4 tank. I just watch it go down to that point and then drive it a little more and got fill up again.
- Radio- The radio does not work at all. Never tried to get it going and didn't really care. It looks good though!
Keep in mind this is a 50 year old vehicle and even with the low miles it has on it, it has still been around for 50 years and it is a used car. So, there are little imperfections here and there like some of the silver paint on the instrument cluster is either worn with time or has flaked and some little scratches around the ignition from when I had a guy replace it and he used a tool that scratched the dash. (not a happy camper that day) Buy overall though this is a beautiful car and is by far the nicest original classic car I have ever seen.
So, why am I selling my beautiful car? Well it's simple, we are actually selling most of our stuff to move across the country. I seriously considered keeping it but unfortunately I just don't think it will work. This is a great cruiser car that I often use to keep me grounded and bring me back to basics in this wild and crazy world but I guess I'll have to find something smaller to do that for me after I sell it... Maybe a puppy! HAHA :)

That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.

Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...

Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.
