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. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
Ford pulling out of V8 Supercars after 2015
Tue, Dec 2 2014Australian racing fans are staring down the end of an era as news breaks that Ford will no longer participate in the V8 Supercars series. Although the official announcement has yet to be made, the decision – as reported widely in the automotive press Down Under and in global motorsport publications – indicates that the Blue Oval automaker has already confirmed its intentions to its shareholders early on Monday to shut down its factory effort in the popular tin-top series at the end of next season. The move will mark the end of an era for what has become the International V8 Supercars Championship. Alongside GM's Holden division, Ford was one of only two manufacturers competing in the series from its inception in the late 1990s through last year when a change in regulations opened the door for entries from Nissan, Volvo and Mercedes. Further rule changes are expected to attract even more manufacturers to the series, with Lexus said to be first among them. Over the past eighteen seasons, the V8 Supercars Championship has been won in a Holden Commodore fourteen times, leaving Ford to win the title only four times with successive versions of the Falcon. Eleven of the cars on the grid this season were Commodores, compared to only seven Ford Falcons between two teams that will need to switch to another manufacturer for the season after next – although some could opt to stick with their Fords for one more season, even without factory support, until the open 2016 regulations take effect. The decision follows Ford's announcement last year that it will cease manufacturing in Australia by 2016, ending a 90-year presence Down Under that stretches back to 1925. Blue Oval models like the Falcon, previously unique to the Aussie market, are being replaced by imported models like the Mondeo and Mustang.
