1963 Ford Falcon
Only 85,665 Original Miles
*LOW RESERVE*
Ever wonder what people saw when they bought a used falcon in the late 60's or early 70's? Well now you can see for yourself. Maybe you were there and want to remember what they looked like. Well now you can. This car is a true survivor with only 85,665 original miles currently on it. I get comments and thumbs up all the time in this car and you will too.
This 4 door sedan has a 144 ci straight six engine with a 3 speed on the column standard transmission. This car starts every time and runs great and runs smooth. It has a new clutch, new muffler and new ignition switch as of last winter, manual choke, good tires, all good glass, no rips or tears in the front seat, headliner or door panels, all gages and lights work and no dents in the car at all.
The only thing that isn't original on this car, that I can tell, is someone recovered the front seat and the car was repainted the original color at some point.
So you're probably wondering about any issues it may have right?
Well I'll say that is doesn't have many but there are a few and I've listed here below. This is not an exhaustive list but as complete a list as I can put together based on my knowledge of the car.
- Back Seat- The back seat (the part you sit on) needs to be redone. It is ripped in many places. By the looks of it the material just rotted out, someone sat on it and that was it. (it is 50 yrs old after all) I put a sheet over it as you can see in the pics so we can sit on it without getting cotton padding all over us. The back of the seat is just fine.
- Gas Mileage- It currently gets about 20mpg I have talked with other Falcon owners and some are getting 25mpg I think this car could be improved with electronic points and a complete tune up.
- Radiator- It does not normally have any overheating issues at all but one hot day I did notice that it got pretty warm, like close to overheating. It didnt overheat but got close. I tested it out another time I went out on a warm day and I went up this long steep hill (about 1 mile at 12% grade) and it got a little warmer than usual but not hot. I'm thinking that the radiator is probably going to need rodded out soon. If you live in a warm climate then sooner the better so no damage occurs accidentally the one time you forget about it. Just to be clear, these occurrences DID NOT do any damage and there IS NOT an overheating issue with this car I am telling you this to let you know what you are buying.
- Rust- This is the big question in these cars isn't it? Well, I have been under the car myself looking around for issues and I can say that I didn't see any rust issues at all. However, as you will see in the pics there is a small spot on both back doors that is bubbling in the bottom corners. there is no rust under the doors but for some reason the outside panel is bubbling. It is currently little bubbles clustered together all totaling about the size of a quarter on each door. (see pics)
- Paint- As stated before, this car was repainted. Thankfully someone decided to repaint it the same color that the car was originally to match the colors up but frankly, in my opinion, the paint job is a cheap paint job. It has a little bit of flaking below the trunk area by where you fill the gas. That's the worst part of flaking but there are a couple small (pencil eraser size) spots around the car that have flaked also. Nothing major at all and I don't have any reason to believe that the whole car will flake or anything like that. There are some little drips and splatters here and there that bother me but you may not even notice them. Overall I am a bit of a perfectionist and the paint is not perfect mostly due to poor masking techniques which is why I am glad they painted it the same color as original. This car looks very nice at about 10ft away.
- Trim- There is a little ding in the chrome trim on the drivers side in the back below the word falcon. Not ugly but noticeable if you're looking for it. 10ft away it is barely noticeable. There is also a scratch in another piece of trim on the passenger side but barely noticeable at 5 feet away.
- Sun Visors- From the factory they were made of cardboard. They are both complete with no tears but both of them the sewed seam is coming out. I thought about taking it to an auto upholstery guy to have him re-sew it but never got around to doing it.
- Dome light- The dome light does work but I just noticed that you have to fidgit with the button in the door jamb for it to work when the drivers door is open.
- Gas Gage- it does work but only goes down to 1/4 tank. I just watch it go down to that point and then drive it a little more and got fill up again.
- Radio- The radio does not work at all. Never tried to get it going and didn't really care. It looks good though!
Keep in mind this is a 50 year old vehicle and even with the low miles it has on it, it has still been around for 50 years and it is a used car. So, there are little imperfections here and there like some of the silver paint on the instrument cluster is either worn with time or has flaked and some little scratches around the ignition from when I had a guy replace it and he used a tool that scratched the dash. (not a happy camper that day) Buy overall though this is a beautiful car and is by far the nicest original classic car I have ever seen.
So, why am I selling my beautiful car? Well it's simple, we are actually selling most of our stuff to move across the country. I seriously considered keeping it but unfortunately I just don't think it will work. This is a great cruiser car that I often use to keep me grounded and bring me back to basics in this wild and crazy world but I guess I'll have to find something smaller to do that for me after I sell it... Maybe a puppy! HAHA :)

When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.

During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.
