Description for Ford Falcon 1961

You are looking at a

1961 Ford Falcon 2 Dr Coupe

After more than 20 years of buying and selling on eBay (mostly for other customers), I rarely get to sell something for myself. In this case, I am selling my 1961 Falcon that I've owned and restored for the past 21 years.

The end result is a stunning classic ride that starts, runs and drives very nicely. This car has been garaged most of the 21 years, especially after resto was completed.

After looking for many years, I finally located a bubble rear window coupe, similar to what my very first car looked like. Someone had primed the car and bought carpet for it.

The restoration started with Whitesell Auto Body in Virginia creating a wonderful paint scheme, exactly as designed by Ford from day one. I bought a paint chip chart, matched the numbers and had Whitesell paint it exactly as original.

The overall result is a show ready paint job with lots of shine and great fit and finish. This car had VERY little rust issues, no floor pan damage at all and no trunk pan issues at all.

The 170 cu in 6-cylinder engine was removed for some minor repairs and ability to paint the engine compartment properly. With the engine out, it was steam cleaned and pressure washed. The timing chain was replaced as was the timing case cover gasket, all resulting in zero leaks for many years.

The were many, many parts repaired or replaced over the years starting with:

Starter rebuilt

Generator rebuilt

Radiator Replaced

Water pump replaced

Heater hoses and rad hoses replaced

Heater core replaced

Like all cars, there are at least a few issues and this car is no different. Although, the only item I can think of is there a very few small pimple size bubble rust area above the rear drivers side fender well. The final picture is of the area, but again, they are so small, it's difficult to see the pimple size bubbles. The good news here is with a stock color being a solid red with no metallic, this should be an easy fix for those wanting to even repair the area.
