The Falcon was Ford's first offering in the compact car market competing with other compacts models produced in the U.S. such as the Plymouth Valiant and Chevrolet Corvair. The Ford Falcon was produced in the U.S. from 1960 to 1970, during which Ford produced three different generations of the Falcon. This 1962 Ford Falcon is an excellent, restored example of the first generation Falcon. This Falcon presents in overall excellent condition benefitting from a repaint in its current Turquoise exterior paint. The Falcon's Turquoise exterior is in excellent condition and is nicely complimented by its factory chrome and stainless trim and a set of Mustang steel wheels fitted with "Shoebox" Ford hubcaps and wrapped in new raised white letter BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The Falcon's custom Grey tweed interior has been tastefully done and is in excellent condition throughout. The factory gauge cluster has been tastefully upgraded with a custom stainless surround fitted with Autometer gauges. Before 1963, only a small inline 6 cylinder engine was offered to power these great little cars. So if you desired the great muscle car sound and driving experience that only a V8 can provide, a V8 had to be sourced from another model and transplanted into the Falcon. That is exactly what we have here in this beautiful Ford Falcon. Powering this Falcon is a 289 cubic inch V8 backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission. The engine swap was very well done and looks factory-esque sitting in the Falcons small engine bay. Both the engine and transmission perform just as they should and have no problem setting you back in your seat when the mood strikes to open up all four barrels of the powerful 289. This Falcon produces an intoxicating exhaust note thanks to the 289 V8 breathing through long tube headers feeding a custom dual exhaust system. Power is transferred to the rear tires via a Ford 8" rear end fitted with 3.50:1 final drive gears and a Detroit locker. If you are in the market for an excellent, turn-key Ford Falcon that runs, drives, sounds and presents better than it did from the factory and would present very well at any car show or cruise-in, then you will want to take a very close look at this gorgeous 1962 Ford Falcon.
