Full Description

*ATTENTION! REAUCTION/RELISTING/RESPENDING AN HOUR TO REPOST* *CONFIRM YOUR FINANCIAL POSITION & ABILITY TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION BEFORE BIDDING* Serial: 1T11S151242 Odometer: 46,146 Miles (Title reads 53,100 - Odometer Discrepancy) Engine: 144 CID Inline 6-Cylinder Trans: 2-Speed Auto, Column Shift Virginia Title, free of any/all liens or salvage brands, is here. 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. 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 pics speak for themselves. That turquoise interior is about as 1961 as drive-in movies and Elvis. Good tires. 2 keys. Virginia title. NOW, LET'S TALK MILEAGE & ODOMETER DISCREPANCY:The mechanical odometer currently displays 46,146 miles, but the physical VA 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 running 1961 Falcon you 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 sweet tea colored teetoh's... BID EARLY. BID OFTEN. You've got about 2 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 your wife didn't know you were bidding, or Uncle Earl thinks you should've bought a Chevy. Interesting problems. Not refund problems. Shoot us your ZIP CODE and we'll work on getting you a transportation quote when reasonably possible. ALL SHIPPING/TRANSPORTATION COSTS ARE ON THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER'S DIME. We're a towing company, not Amazon Prime. NOW FOR THE LEGAL MUMBOJUMBO: Asset is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS. Seller makes NO WARRANTY, expressed or implied, regarding condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, roadworthiness, mileage, mechanical condition or remaining service life. Description is provided in good faith from information available at listing time. Photos are part of the description. Bidders are responsible for independently verifying VIN, title, mileage discrepancy, equipment, condition and anything important to their purchase BEFORE bidding. NO WARRANTY. NO GUARANTEES. NO POST-SALE NEGOTIATIONS. Buyer is responsible for payment, transportation, loading/towing if necessary, taxes, registration, fees and timely removal under GovDeals terms. So, there she is. 1961 Ford Falcon. 144 straight 6. Automatic on the tree. Turquoise interior. Runs like a kitten. Hell, half the cars built last Tuesday already have a check-engine light on.
