1962 FORD Falcon 2 Door Sedan

This body style is also known as a coupe though ford refer to the car as a sedan.

Lived all its life in Southern California.  

Original interior and headliner. Pictures show condition

Seat 4 adults and could easily seat 5!

No seat belts are fitted and its not a legal requirement in UK for pre 63 cars.

We love the originality of this car. Sure she has bumps and bruises but what character!

The engine is an inline 6 . 144 Cu In ( 2. 4L ) putting out far more than the original 90 HP that the motor did when in stock factory trim.   The previous owner told me was the original unit to the car. he had rebuilt it using a hotter cam. Car has less than 800 miles on the rebuilt engine. Exhaust note sounds awesum and cruises very well!

Engine has a nice lumpy idle but is very driveable

We saw this car at a cruise In Downey last year in October.  

We drove her around for a while before dropping off to our shipper.

There is one rust hole the size of a 10 pence piece in the boot floor. There is no other rust through that I can find.

Previous owner told me brakes and transmission had been 'gone through

Drive as is or fix her up a little?

Great cruiser for anyone who wants to show their individuality!.

Hope you like her. we think she is an awesum little car. perfect for UK roads. parking spaces and our Garages!

We will MOT this car for you. That will be done at time of purchase so that you receive a full 12 months MOT.

Some info from Wikipedia follows

The 1960 Falcon was powered by a small. lightweight 90 hp (67 kW). 144 CID (2. 4 L) straight-6 with a single-barrel carburetor. Construction was unibody. and suspension was fairly standard. with coil springs in front and leaf springs in the rear. Brakes were drum all round. [5] A three-speed manual column shift was standard. the two-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic optional. There was room for six passengers in reasonable comfort in the simple interior. [6] Body styles included two- and four-door sedans. two- or four-door station wagons. and the Ranchero car-based pickup. transferred onto the Falcon platform for 1960 from the Fairlane. A Mercury derivative. the Mercury Comet. originally intended for the defunct Edselmarque. was launched in the US midway through the 1960 model year.

The market shift which spurred the development of the Falcon and its competitors also precipitated the demise of several well-established marques in the late-1950s and early-1960s. Besides the infamous tale of the Edsel. the Nash. nbsp;Hudson. a rel="nofollow" href="http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/DeSoto_(automobile)" title="DeSoto (automobile)" >DeSoto and Packard nameplates all disappeared from the marketplace.

In 1960. nbsp;Ford's Canadian subsidiary introduced the Falcon-based Frontenac. It was designed to give Mercury-Meteor dealers a smaller model to sell. since the Comet was originally intended as an Edsel. which was sold by Ford-Monarch dealers. Produced for the 1960 model year only. the Frontenac was essentially a rebadged 1960 Falcon with its own unique grille. tail lights and external trim. including red maple leaf insignia. Despite strong sales (5% of Ford's total Canadian output). the Frontenac was discontinued and replaced by the Mercury Comet for 1961.

Robert McNamara. a Ford executive who became Ford's president briefly before being offered the job of U. S. Defense Secretary. is regarded by many as "the father of the Falcon". McNamara left Ford shortly after the Falcon's introduction. but his faith in the concept was vindicated with record sales; over half a million sold in the first year and over a million sold by the end of the second year.

The 1961 model year introduced an optional 101 hp. 170 CID (2. 8 L) six. and two new models were introduced; a bucket-seat and console sedan model in a higher trim level called the Futura. and a sedan delivery. Also. the Ford Falcon brochure featured Charlie Brown and Lucy from the Peanuts comic strip. [7] They stayed until 1965. [8]

Ford boasted of the good fuel economy achieved by the six-cylinder Ford Falcon models in advertising. The fuel economy was good. a claimed 30mpg. a rel="nofollow" href="http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Ford_Falcon_(North_America)#cite_note-9" >[9] compared to other American cars at the time.

The 1962 model year saw a Squire model of the four-door station wagon with faux wood trim on the sides. The bucket seat "Futura" model was offered with a slightly upgraded interior. factory installed safety belts. different side trim (spears). and different emblems. Halfway through the model year. Ford changed the roof line at the back window to more of a Thunderbird design and offered a 4-speed transmission for the first time. The 2-door Futura sedan (also referred to as an 'illusion hardtop' because of the chrome trim around the side window opening) sported a flat rear window in place of the panoramic (wrap-around) window on earlier models to bring its design in line with other Ford cars of the era. In 1962. Ford introduced the Ford Falcon Club Wagon and Deluxe Club Wagon. a 8-passenger. flat-front. van. [10] Ford also promoted that in a Mobilegas economy run. the Falcon got 32. 5mpg. [11]

In 1963. even more models were available. There was now a 4-door Futura and a Deluxe wagon. Later. convertibles and then hardtops. and the new "Sprint" model were introduced. Halfway through the model year (February 1963). the Fairlane's 164 hp "Challenger" 260 CID (4. 3 L) V8 engine was offered for the first time. The Falcon was climbing in trim level from its budget beginnings. as Ford attempted to wring more profit from the line.

*Some fine print. As we do not have time to re write every ad each time we lower a price be sure to check what is included when we make such statements as 'included in the price' as this will refer only to a first original asking price. Wheels. interior and more can all be subject to change at a lower than originally advertised price.  Any lower price can change the spec of the bus and the terms. You the customer wants a lower price. we respond but something has to give. you do more yourself or pay us to do it. we are fair people and need to make a living so we can be here next week and next year hopefully! Most of the original paint is coming through. We and many people who have seen the van like the patina. its quite even and somewhat unique.
