Would really like to receive your newsletter!! Thanks…Gabriel Reply Gabriel Robles-Velarde August 21st, 2022.I have a 78 Corvette, Silver Anniversary model is there a corvette club in the Galveston/Houston area? Reply Not trying to start an argument here, but as an owner of a 62 and a 66 Thunderbird, how can you acknowledge the pretender Ford called a Thunderbird in 85 to even be considered part of that distinctive and desirable marque. I have a hood 2doors, bumper,radio,generator and console for 62 tbird cheap 7 Frank Reply He has the seats already done-write me Reply It starts, it runs, the body is in original condition. His daughter has been tasked with selling this car. My next door neighbor’s father just passed-he was in the process of restoring 1962 Tbird.

This sedan delivery is pretty far down that hot-rod path and it wouldn’t take a lot of effort to finish it out as a street cruiser, road rambler, stop-light bandit, whatever tag you want to lay on it.

Of note, is a power rear window in place of the usually found manual crank version. The seller also lists a new headliner as being included in the sale. The seller does have the original bench seat frame as well as a usable back seat even though that’s not original to a sedan delivery. The origin unknown bucket seats are good candidates for recovering but the door cards/side panels have gone missing. The rest of the interior, however, needs an overhaul. The seller has installed a very nice after-market instrument cluster, an unexpected find. The full-size Ford wheel covers make for an interesting, unexpected look. The hood scoop looks like it has been lifted from a late ’60s Torino. The hood is an interesting piece in that it is referred to as a “prototype”.

The seller does mention that the windshield is cracked but it’s not a piece unique to a sedan delivery so finding a replacement shouldn’t be a hunt. What body rust is present is topical in nature, not invasive, and the underside appears to be in solid shape. There are a few bumps and bruises and the seller indicates a few paint bubbles too but it is very passable and even more so if a rough-and-rugged street vibe is the attitude trying to be attained here. The body of this Sedan Delivery is by-and-large in good shape. Other improvements include a dual compartment master brake cylinder, new wiring and a Ford 8″ differential. This low mileage motor is accompanied by a similarly low mileage C-4, three-speed automatic transmission, both fronted with a new aluminum radiator.

It is an impressive looking engine that has received some visually obvious mods for power enhancement. Originally equipped with a 144 CI, in-line six-cylinder engine (85 gross HP), it was been replaced twice and the latest incarnation taking up residence in the engine room is a modified 302 CI, “Windsor” V8. The most obvious improvement is under the hood. The seller states that it was originally Ford Red. Curiously, the exterior of this Sedan Delivery has been finished off in the same choice of color as graced the 1962 Falcon sales brochure, Ford Tan. Whereas the sedan/hardtop version of a collectible vehicle usually ends up as a perfectly stock restoration, a hot-rod or a resto-mod, sedan delivery variants seem to end up with a hot-rod/rat-rod personality (caronality?). That being the case, here’s one of these seldomly seen Fords, located in Mendon, Ohio and available here on eBay for a BIN price of $10,500.įord produced the Falcon based sedan delivery in both the Gen 1 Falcon (’60-’63) and Gen 2 (’64-’65). But how about a ’62 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery? That’s an attention-getter if for no other reason than their rarity and today, unusual concept. They are not an uncommon car and even today, so many years later, they still surface with some regularity. It would depend on its condition, equipment, enhancements, etc. If a ’62 Ford Falcon turned up for sale, it might be interesting to review.
