No, this 1962 Ford Falcon for sale on Hemmings.com isn’t some sort of original-paint survivor. No, it doesn’t have a sleeper V-8 under the hood. No, it’s not some sort of oddball export model once owned by the prince of Indiana. Rather, it’s probably something much less common: a thoroughly restored example of probably the most basic, proletarian transportation one could find in the United States in the early 1960s. From the seller’s description:
One of the finest examples of a Ford Falcon coupe available. Only a person who loves Falcons would go to the time and expense to do such an original style restoration. This particular Falcon was restored by an enthusiast in Florida. There is easily $20K+ in just the restoration; parts/labor. The original color of champagne exterior is rare to see, let alone the two-door coupe in original, ‘time warp’ condition. The car has universal appeal, and drives like a dream. It actually can carry six people, and a trunkful of stuff. All parts are available, and the simplicity of the car is what makes it so appealing. Some other details: full, bare metal repaint in original rare Champagne color. Complete, new interior; new seat foam, upholstery, carpet, dynamat-type sound deadening, padded dash, restored steering wheel, iPod connection for music in glovebox. Chassis restoration, including suspension, brakes, steering components. New fuel tank. All chrome, rechromed. 13-inch wheels, with new radial wide whites. 170-cu.in. six-cylinder; complete rebuild; approx 2,000 miles. New clutch. South Carolina car. Original front grille; very rare to have a ’62 grille, since most have not survived.
