What you're bidding on is probably the 'cutest' car I own, yet unfortunately the most expendable. 


This 62 Falcon is the perfect starter-car for jr. car guys, or someone who just loves the body style and likes cruising with the six cylinder fuel economy.

Sheetmetal/Structure
The shock towers are solid - which is where all Ford guys check first. The front clip is solid. Floors have some superficial holes that have been cut out, and I will weld them in prior to anyone inspecting or purchasing car. Everything structural is sound. Floor is otherwise pretty solid. There's some bubbling on the bottoms of the quarters. Deck lid, trunk area, gas tank, etc, are all in good condition. 

Exterior
Body is semi-straight and semi-solid. The passenger door has a crease on the edge and the paint is doing the normal lacquer bubble all over the car. It appears to be grabber blue with the original blue peaking through on the deck lid. Grille is complete, no damage. Bumpers have some pitting, but still shine up some. 

Glass is all there, some clouding on the back window. 

Interior is a... well, I've straightened it out from the mess. The back seat is out of a later falcon, but it fits, and the front buckets look like minivan seats. It has an automatic shifter out of a Granada or Fox body. Someone tried to recover the door panels, but they're fairly straight and not stained or scuzzy. Needs headliner for sure. Also, I've got a brand new ACC rubber floor mat (carpet delete) and matching black wal-mart seat covers to match .


Mechanically - ran great when before parked. brakes are new, previous owner ran new lines, later 6 cylinder has electric ignition, idles smooth. Carb needs rebuilt and I will throw a kit in it before it leaves. Oh, I bought two new tires for it in 2008 before I parked it. they'd have like 7 miles on them. 

Like I said, it's no show car, but it's an easy project, no damage anywhere . Just tune it up and go.

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks

Sun, 25 May 2014

Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.

Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.

2015 Galpin Ford GTR1

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
