Selling my 1962 Falcon project to make room in the garage. I have owned this car about 10 years and in that time I have made a ton of upgrades. I started with a super clean 80K survivor southern car with its original interior. The body was grease under coated back in the 60's which preserved the floor pans and under structure. I started on the body work but only got as far as removing some aftermarket side moldings and removing some old body filler. The spots I removed filler from have primer on them as seen in the photos. There is an old repaired dent in the passenger door that was probably done in the 60's, and some bubbling on the drivers rear wheel arch (both shown in the pics) along with various other small dents. Other than that the car has only been painted twice in 51 years and remains as I purchased it 10 years ago.
When I bought the car, it had a tired 6 cyl with a two speed Fordomatic. I removed the old drivetrain and installed a 5.0 roller long block with a Holley carb, Ford AOD trans, and a rear axle from a 75 Maverick Grabber. The engine internally is stock but has polished aluminum valve covers, air cleaner, intake, chrome oil pan, and front accessories from a 65 Mustang. The alternator is a PA performance 130 amp 2 wire conversion which eliminates the stock voltage regulator. I also added a Mallory HEI distributor and a Performance Parts balancer. The radiator is 2 row aluminum with an internal trans cooler and stainless shroud. The exhaust is stock 1965 Mustang duals with stock 1962 Falcon sedan delivery V8 manifolds.
The transmission is a stock AOD from an 88 Mustang LX. I installed a TCI constant pressure valve body to prevent problems from improper TV cable adjustments. Otherwise it is stock internally. It has a Lokar Hi-Tech TV cable installed and a custom Lokar shift linkage that retains the stock column shifter.
The rear axle is 8" stock unit from a 75 Maverick Grabber V8. It did not have a tag on it when I got it but I am guessing it has somewhere around 3.00 gears non posi. I cleaned the whole housing and painted it but did not change anything internally. I had planned on putting in a 3.55 posi unit into it in the future.
The brakes are completely rebuilt and upgraded to 1976 Grenada front discs with slotted rotors and rebuilt 75 Maverick V8 rear brakes. I replaced all the brake lines and hoses and added an adjustable rear proportioning valve. I also added a dual bowl master cylinder for safety.
The gas tank is brand new and I also converted the fuel pump to a Holley red electric pump. It runs through an oil pressure shutoff switch for safety.
The car has 17x7 chrome Foose Legend wheels with brand new Kuhmo Ecsta tires. These wheels and tires alone cost over $1500 and go with the car.
The car has all of its original outside chrome and stainless and it is in driver condition. I also added a nice set of Futura stainless upper door trim that gives the car a hardtop look. All of the glass is original and will need polished but has no cracks or bad chips. Should clean up nice.
The interior is 90% original and in really nice shape for being 51 years old. There are a few tears in the vinyl, the worst of which are shown in the pictures. The door panels are fair but could be replaced. The carpet was replaced with newer plush style and is in good shape. The headliner is also newer and in good condition. It would not take much to get it looking great.
The dash and gauges are all original and functional. The generator warning light could not be hooked up to the 2 wire alternator but you could easily add an amp gauge if you wanted. The heater is functional and blows hot air for cold weather cruises. The odometer shows just over 88k original miles on the car. The steering wheel has a few cracks but is perfectly serviceable for a driver.
All of the outside lights and turn signals are functional including the hi beams. The original tail lights have blue dots installed.
The car also comes with an original radio and antenna in good condition, original bumper jack, a nice set of Futura wrap around dash trim and glove box door, and an extra set of fender emblems in good condition (see picture).
The car starts right up, runs, drives, and stops. I have not really driven it any farther than up and down the street though and it will still need some adjustments to be road ready, mostly an alignment. I was planning on taking it back apart to paint so I never bothered to get it dialed in. It would not take much to get it on the road though.
If you're looking for an easy project that you can drive while you fix up this is perfect for you. I have more than double my starting price invested in it already but I need to move it to make room. The car has a clear title in my name and is ready to go. No reserve so highest bidder takes her home. Good Luck!

Ford dealer gives James Robertson new 2015 Taurus
Fri, Feb 6 2015James Robertson, the 56-year-old Detroit native famous for walking 21 miles to work each day for the last 10 years, is behind the wheel again thanks to a gift from a Ford dealer. Robertson became an Internet sensation when the story about his daily ordeal came to light, and a GoFundMe campaign initially hoped to raise $5,000 to buy him a new ride. As of this writing, it has reached over $300,000. He didn't have to dip into any of that money to buy the new car, though. According to The Detroit Free Press, Suburban Ford of Sterling Heights, MI, heard about Robertson's story of never being late to work and having perfect attendance. The dealer is donating a fully loaded, red 2015 Taurus to him. It's not one of our choices, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. Robertson started walking to work in 2005 when his Honda broke down. According to the GoFundMe page, his job is about 23 miles away, but thanks to Detroit's poor bus network, he covers about 21 miles of that round-trip trek on foot each day.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
