Trim: base
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 and scratches. The
paint is 7 years old, it shows its age but looks good for a driver. It is base coat clear and is very shiny. The
hood, doors and trunk all line up and shut properly. The 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 350 to 375
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” traction lock 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, gas guage, window winds work.
Brakes are next to new. 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
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 quality 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! See you tube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRGH_nlsxqY&feature=em-upload_owner |

Project Ugly Horse: Part V
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
