It's a real special piece, one of very few left with original paint and interior. Extensively restored recently and looks and drives amazing. 1 previous owner who kept it garaged in SoCal, a true "barn find".
I have all the paperwork/receipts for all the following; Rebuilt engine, new cream color (time appropriate) convertible top, new convertible top motor, new electrical wire harness, new weather stripping all around, classic california black plates, new gas and air filters. new Alpine stereo system with 6 cd changer hidden in the glove compartment, new heater core, new transmission, new light bulbs, new turn signal lights, new car alarm with kill switch, new tires, new shocks, new carpet, new battery, new starter, new front and end gaskets, new dipstick, new plaid trunk mat with spare tire cover. All parts are classic original and time appropriate.
I always pamper the Falcon with 89 grade gasoline regularly and 91 grade gasoline on longer trips.
Works like a dream, recently I drove it over to Joshua Tree, CA down to Tuscan, AZ and up to Vegas, NV then back to LA and had no problems, this car rides solid and is great on gas.
A true 60's convertible classic cruiser. All original and classically restored inside and out.
No rust, no dents, body is straight, all chrome and emblems are there. 2 sets of keys with alarm on it and one blank set. Title is clean and registration is valid. 58,000 original miles.
Hurts me to sell it but I need a down payment to buy a house and it's the most precious thing I have.
Please email me with any questions or for additional pictures or to arrange a meeting.
Falcon will be available this Sunday April 7th for all your viewing pleasure at the Melrose Trading Post.
Thanks
History of the 1964-1965 Ford Falcon
The reskinned 1964 Falcon was available with the underpowered 144 six, the adequate 170 six or a new-for-1964 bored-and-stroked 200 cubic-inch "small-block" six transplanted from the Fairlane line. A 260 V-8 also was available in any Falcon; putting out 164 horsepower in a car weighing in at 2,500 pounds meant some serious "giddyup." This car was the inspiration for the Mustang in April 1964, and it shared its bones with the original 1960 Falcon. The 1964 Falcon's look was new: boxier and classier, with sculpted body sides expanding toward Ford's trademark round taillights. The Falcon suddenly found itself out on racetracks and drag strips, instead of just grocery trips with mom and kids.

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates
Fri, 05 Sep 2014The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions
Fri, 08 Mar 2013As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?
Sat, 13 Apr 2013This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
When the Courier goes on sale in the Spring of 2014, it will offer more than 1,400 pounds of payload capacity, multiple mounting points for racks or other framework and a rear cargo area that can carry items 5.3 feet-long. An optional folding passenger seat boosts the cargo length to 8.5 feet.
