This Falcon was restored in the mid-eighties and was used as a show car for local car shows and annual national FCA events (in which it won trophies in stock class) without so much as a hiccup. When I bought the vehicle it had a pretty severe rear main seal leak after driving it from sitting with no use for a couple years when the previous owner could no longer drive it. The 144CID engine seemed tired so I replaced it with a good, extremely low mileage (appx. 5,000 mile) 170CID mill from my other Falcon. I went through the entire car to make sure it was in good tune and drove nicely. I installed an alternator in place of the generator, replaced the radiator, rear shocks, hoses, belts, carburetor, distributor, choke cable, worn column shift mechanism, repainted the steering wheel, and I'm sure I'm forgetting other bits and pieces I went through. It is very pleasant to drive. It starts, stops, rides, and steers as it should. *Be aware this is a manual three speed column shift, meaning the first gear in the transmission is not synchronized if you did not already now that.* It however, is not a perfect car. It is a driver, not a trailer queen. I'd give it a 6.5-7 out of 10 overall visually, and a 9 out of 10 mechnically with 1 being worst and 10 being best. It has an OK paint job, pretty nice trim, bumpers, and a very nice interior. The car needs the underside gone through if you want it 100% perfect. The front floor pans had an older repair job/patch done to them that is solid, but not correct. The rearmost part of the framerails were replaced with new metal. The torque boxes are getting scaly/rusted but aren't gone by any means. It has some very small filler/rust popping here and there in front of and behind the quarters. Just old bodywork and paint showing it's age. The quarters were replaced from the door opening back when it was restored. The car is very solid and can and is driven the way it is. The casual observer wouldn't notice the exterior flaws, and highly I doubt would notice the underbody issues. The underside of this Falcon is pretty good, don't get me wrong, I'm just picky and making sure I describe it as best and truthfully as I can. It is NOT a rust bucket, nor is it perfect. Just a nice looking, reliable, economical way to get into classic cars or just a nice car to take to shows or cruise around town in. If you would like any additional information or pictures, please don't hesitate to ask. I will gladly answer questions or take more specific photos if they are requested.

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]
Fri, 30 May 2014Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.
Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams
Sun, 11 Aug 2013As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.
