Main man... every once in a while something rolls into our lot that makes us stop and say: “Well, ain't she sweet.” This is one of those cars.
A 1961 Ford Falcon 2-Door Sedan, built when a key was actually a key, bench seats could hold half the neighborhood, all of your girlfriends and your automobile didn't need Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or permission from a satellite to start.
The VIN decodes to a 1961 Falcon 2-door powered originally by Ford's 144 CID inline six. It's backed by a 2-speed automatic with the shifter on the column. And YES... she runs like a kitten. We're told she recently received a brand-new carburetor, along with a recent tune-up/service including plugs and ignition-related items.
Battery/service items were also reportedly addressed. The interior has been redone and includes newer seats/upholstery, carpet and headliner, and the pictures speak for themselves. That turquoise interior is about as 1961 as drive-in movies and Elvis.
Good tires. Two keys. Virginia title.
NOW, LET'S TALK MILEAGE & ODOMETER DISCREPANCY:The mechanical odometer currently displays 46,146 miles, but the physical Virginia title shows 53,100 miles. Because this is a 65-year-old automobile with a vintage five-digit mechanical gauge, the actual total mileage is legally UNKNOWN, NOT GUARANTEED, and sold with an odometer discrepancy.
This isn't Barrett-Jackson. Chuck Norris didn't perform a 200-point inspection. What we've got is a sweet little running 1961 Falcon somebody can enjoy, tinker with, show off, improve, restore further or simply park in the garage and stare at while drinking ah'claw, pino santimingo, or sweat tea colored teetoh's...
BID EARLY. BID OFTEN. You've got approximately TWO WEEKS while the auction is running to come kick the tires. Come look at it. Sit in it. Look underneath it. Bring a mechanic. Bring a flashlight. Bring somebody smarter than you. Hell, bring a picture of Chuck Norris if you knew him.
INSPECT BEFORE YOU BID, NOT AFTER YOU BUY.
Because when the auction ends and you're the successful bidder: YOU BOUGHT IT. YOU BOUGHT IT. Don't wait until it's being delivered to your house to discover turquoise doesn't match your curtains, your garage is too short, your wife didn't know you were bidding, or Uncle Earl thinks you should've bought a Chevy.
Interesting problems.
Not refund problems.
