This 1962 Ford Falcon Gasser is for sale in our Louisville KY
showroom.please note this car is being sold on a rebuilt title. A
gasser is a type of hot rod that grew in popularity until the early
70's. They are stripped of any extra weight and jacked up using a
beam axle which provides better weight distribution during hard
acceleration. With fiberglass body panels and stripped out
interiors these cars were designed to go fast in a straight line.
The name arose because they competed in a gasoline-fueled drag
racing class, rather than one using methanol or nitromethane. This
62 Ford Falcon is possibly one the nicer Gassers to be built.
Typically Gassers are a little rough around edges due to the hard
lives they live at the track. This car is a fresh with only 3600
miles on it since completion. The Jail Bird gained it's due to its
history. As part of a project to keep prisoners engaged and teach a
useful trade, this Falcon spent 3 years in the Kentucky State
Corrections body shop. The Falcon was completely disassembled,
reassembled twice for fitment, and then disassembled for paint.
Maybe if "Cool Hand Luke" had been involved in such a project, he
would have spent less time in the hot box. The resurrection of this
bird has documented with photos, included in the sale, and receipts
of all parts purchased. The exterior has been painted in a
beautiful Yellow. Under the original steel hood is a Chevrolet 350
CID engine. Power goes from the engine to a Turbo 350 automatic,
and then makes it way to a custom built Ford 9 inch rear end .A
quick look in the cabin will reveal an interior much nicer than a
normal Gasser would sport. The front buckets and rear seat have
been cover in very tasteful black and white vinyl. Carpet has also
been installed giving this Gasser a much plusher look than normal
look. If for some reason you were actually to get tired of
listening to the glorious sound of the beastly engine, there is a
nice AM/FM radio to listen to your favorite tunes, but it will need
to be hooked up for power. Options on this 1962 Ford Falcon Gasser
includes; AM/FM radio, Vinyl Interior, and Chrome Cragar with
wheels wrapped in Radial Tires. To view 1962 Ford Falcon Gasser,
