This is a 1962 Ford Falcon. The floor boards, quarters,
doors, trunk all show no signs of rust
holes or patching. The paint is driver quality with some dings, blemishes and
scratches. The paint is 7 years old, it is base coat clear and is very shiny.
The hood, doors and trunk all line up and shut properly. The rear wheel well
lips have been flattened to accommodate the Ford 8” rear and the wider tires
but they are solid and not cut just flattened. The frame rails have been tied together for a higher
horsepower engine The glass is tinted and all in good condition. The interior
was completely redone and is in good condition. It is dark leather ostrich
print with plain leather gray outer covering. The headliner and door panels all
match. Engine is a rebuilt 1971 Ford 351 Windsor bored .030 with a
mild cam. Stock heads and an aluminum intake, 650 HOLLEY carb. Engine was never
dinoed. I would guess about 375 to 400
HP. This is a nice driver motor not too much power. Cam sounds great and good
on gas. Car runs cool with a 1971 Mustang radiator. Motor, trans and rear do
not drip oil. Transmission is a C4 auto with a 2000 stall. HURST Quarter
stick shifter. Rear end is a ford 8” with 279 gear for highway driving. We did
have a 355 gear in it and it was kind of low for highway traveling. All lights, turn signals, back up lights, gas guage, window winds work.
Brakes are next to new. We have just painted the wheels black and installed four new
tires, Rear -235/60/14, Front 205/70/14. We also added a ford rocker stripe and
a new set of air shocks to raise the rear 3”. That is the way the car is being
sold. In the one video from last month the car had silver wheels and sat lower so I
don’t want to confuse anyone The following is a list of what does not work SPEEDOMETER- No cable attached C4 & falcon don’t match
up. RADIO- This was a radio delete car. No antenna hole and
installed radio not wired EMERGENCY BRAKE- Cable from lever to first connection is
missing. But the cable from there to the drums is there and works HEATER- The core is missing but the blower motor works on
high and low. It just need the core put in. I tried to the best of my ability to describe this car
accurately. It is a nice street rod, driver ready. If you come to pick the car up and you feel that I misrepresented
the car, YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE IT! |

Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.
Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California
Wed, 31 Jul 2013In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
