Madison Heights, Virginia, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Ford
Drive Type: Rear
Model: Falcon
Trim: 2 dr. sedan
Mileage: 999,999
Up for your consideration is my 62 Ford Falcon Pro Street Project. I got the car from my in-laws with plans to finish it out, but I have other projects I would like to get to so this one needs to go. It has a Pro built (18K in receipts) chassis which consists of square tubing from the front that joins to round tubing at the firewall. Roll cage is swept at the doors for easy in access. Also has really nice sheetmetal work as well. It is set up for a small block Chevrolet and 400 turbo. It has a 9 in Ford in the rear and a 3-link rear with coilovers at all 4 corners. Mustang 2 front end with manual steering. Also has disc brakes all the way around.
New Parts:
Glastek 4" cowl hood and front and rear bumpers
Flaming river steering column
Master cylinder with custom brake pedal
Steel fuel cell with GM sending unit
Battery box
31 spline Strange axles
Coil over shock front end mustang kit and all rear suspension is new
Weld Pro Star wheels and Mickey Thompson street tires. Skinnies out front and 29x15.5x15 in the rear
Used:
Good used trunk with no rust (one dent)
Good front fenders with a little surface rust, no "rot through"
Grill and headlight rings
Several sets of front and rear window moldings
Radio delete plate
Right and left doors that need minimal body work
I am sure there are some things I am forgetting. The car has had rear quarters installed and the only other rust aside from just light surface rust from sitting in my garage is a little at the upper firewall under the top of the front fenders. The car is set up really nice and I am taking a major hit at my reserve price. I have around 25K in the car like it sits and all the work up to this point is very nicely done. Dave Hunt Racecraft here in Virginia did all the work on the chassis and frame. The front bench seat was also shortened to fit inside the door bars. I do not have any of the glass other than the glass that is in the used doors and I have not checked their condition. This is a great start to a nice Falcon and I am sure the buyer would be very happy to own it. I just don't have the time to finish everything I have going on right now. Any questions at all please ask them and I would prefer the buyer come take a look at the car to see what they are getting. Thanks for looking. Clear title on the car as well.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg
Fri, 07 Jun 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
