ok i beg to differ...if you remember back in the day if you could not tell the year of the car just by looking at it or you were not sure... thats when you look at the tail light or turn signal lens and it would give you the year. gee my len's are dated '62...front turn signal lens and rear tail lights....

Was not always accurate.
1962 falcons came with clear lenses from the factory but a lot of people switched them out. They were probably MADE in 1962 however, hence the date.

Hi and welcome to the Forums.
We don't allow classifieds ads in our Forums, so I'd suggest that you try one of our partners like www.autotrader.com. I believe they have a special 'classic' car section. Also your local Dallas craigslist would be a good place to advertise.
I'll remove your ad in a couple of days after you read this. Please feel free to join us for discussions about your car or any of the other topics that might interest you here.
thank you,

63 Falcon Futura

I still own my 63 Ford Falcon Futura. It was the first car I actually purchased myself when I was 17. It is not currently running because I took out the gas tank and never finished that project. Need to re-line original one or purchase the newer plastic-type. It is a 4-speed shift on the floor. Also, a convertible. No restoration work has ever been done on the body. Only a new top years ago and a few lousy paint jobs even longer ago. Hoping to get inerested in working on it one day - busy taking care of aging mom on weekends and working two day-time jobs many days. Some day it will get some attention. Garage kept. Not parting with it. Too cute. Bought it in 1970 - it had 93,000 miles when I purchased it. Car lives in northern Delaware in a garage - taking up space!

Wish I knew more about it. The transmission is original - I do know that. And very sloppy. When I did drive it a few years back, occasionally, it would get stuck in gear, the gearshift lever would come away from (where it was supposed to be!), and it took a while to get it straightened out. Would like to know how to know what kind of transmission it does have. I am not a mechanic, however, I do lots of mechanical work on my cars - and some on that one - with help of a friend (both of us do-it-your-selfers - self taught). The engine block was replaced in the 80's - and unfortunately I did not save the original - at the time I did not know how important that would be one day to have. Am so sorry I did not know better at the time. I think the engine was referred to as a 165 or 265 something. Can't remember. Would have to talk to friend (sleeping now). I think I looked up some information long time ago that said that about 500 cars were made like mine. Can't remember where I even got that info and whether or not it is actual. Maybe something on the door panel. I do have the actual manual that came with it - that was pretty cool that I did not lose track of that.

Sounds like a fun car. I had a '65 Mustang with a 170 6-cyl and the 4-sp. Is yours a 6-cly or v-8?
