FORD FALCON FORDOR SEDAN 170 Special Six Fordomatic (1962) Here she is! A former Beauty!!! I found the info below online: Debuted in 1960, the Falcon was produced until 1970 and was offered in a variety of shapes and sizes that included two and four door sedans, station wagons, 2-door hardtops, convertibles, sedan deliveries and Rancheros. Actually the original mustang was an evolvement from the development of the Falcon. A variety of the chassis pieces and the design elements were Falcon pieces used to build the original 1964 ½ Mustang. Lee Iacocca is responsible for this idea and if there had been no Falcon, there would have never been a Mustang. The original Ford Falcon platform was designed with comfort and family in mind, with enough room to store both the kids and the groceries and roomy enough for 6. Meanwhile the Falcon still maintained the fuel economy and savings after all of the gas guzzling monsters of the 1950s. The recession had taken a hard toll on the US economy and the Falcon was welcomed with open arms by car buyers. First Falcon models came with very basic features and standard trim. The color was limited and the Falcon was fitted with 144 cubic inch six cylinder engines with 3-speed manual and 2-speed automatic transmissions. Almost immediately the new Falcon was a success and more than one million total units were sold by 1962. For the Falcon in 1961 the new 170 special six cylinder was an upgraded six with more hp, available as an option.

When the tranny went, he asked to park it @ my place "for a few months?" Well, that was about two years ago now & I'm moving, so here she is up for sale to the highest bidder! =D The inline 6 is currently in the trunk (which gives the car that sloped appearance), the driveline's on the floor in the front with the radiator and the tranny is in the back seat (ready to be rebuilt). I have a lot of other pic's, so if you want to see them, just ask. Please feel free to check out my other items up for auction too! Be sure to place your bids early & often...Good Luck & God Bless!!!
