1964 Ford Falcon Futura Hard Top on 2040-cars
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
Here is the
last car that I was supposed to own! It is the proverbial little old lady car
that had 50,000 original and highly documented miles when I purchased it. It
has a very good body and no rust – other than the surface rust or patina that
you see, but no cancer. The car does not appear to have been hit, as the front
and rear frame rails are laser straight. The inner fender aprons are crisp and
have not been worked. Even the factory battery box has not rusted out, like
most of them do. The floor pans are very nice as are the rocker panels and door
bottoms, and trunk drop offs. This is the real deal car! The grill and the
Futura panel are both very nice. The chevron chrome accents are very nice and
are not pitted, and the side trim is nice and straight. It is milky, as
aluminum trim does over time, and there are two places that have minor denting.
The trim around the windshield and back glass is darn nice. The plastic dash on
the inside is not cracked or warped or cut up. The hubcaps are nice – no curb
rash and are all very shiny. The inside windshield chrome trim is very nice.
These are usually pitted. There is very little pitting at the bottom of the A
pillar, but the rest of the trim is very nice. I bought this because it was such an
unmolested car – I paid good money for this car so I could be the one to molest
it! I have a huge folder of documentation that the lady had done to the car
throughout her ownership of the car. This includes inspection reports with
mileage documentation, muffler replacement and various repair work with mileage
statement. This car is an honest 60,000 mile car – the odometer has not been
rolled over nor back. From the pictures you can see it still have the factory
brown starter solenoid. It still even has the FOMOCO script headlights! I live
in Fort Worth and have a 34 mile round trip commute to work and the car has
NEVER let me down. It has been to Oklahoma, Austin, San Antonio, Seguin, and
all over the D/FW Metro-mess and it drives great. The 200 six runs excellent and the 2 speed cruiso tranny shifts as it should. In fact the guy that
inspected it last time commented how much it drove like a dream and got
permission for me to let another inspector drive it so he could also see how
great it drove. As is the case for those of us who have this old car sickness,
I thought this was the last car I’d own, so I spent money on this car doing it
just like how I like it. But, I have found something else that has turned my
head, so I have to let this great little car go. I have TONS of pictures to
document that this is the real deal – no hidden surprises, no excuses, and no
disappointments car. This is an honest-to-goodness great driver. I have spent
the money on it because I obviously didn’t purchase this car to “flip.” The car
is for sale locally, so the listing may be cancelled. The car has had an
extensive amount of mechanical stuff done to it, but I have left the factory
paint – yes, FACTORY paint because after I buffed it, it really came to life
and it looks killer. I have swapped the rear end for a 63 1/2 V8 Falcon unit that
is an 1 1/2 narrower than the stock unit, which allows 7 X 15 wheels to be
wrapped in 235/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial TA tires. I have front drums off of a 1969 Falcon V8
for extra stopping power. The front wheels are 5 X 15 with 205/60R15 BF
Goodrich Radial TA’s. The spare is the same size as the fronts. These tires
have less than 10,000 miles on them and look new with no rubs or scrapes. Here
is what I’ve done to it: new inner and outer tie rod ends, new fuel pump, new
fuel line from pump to carb, new radiator and cap, new motor mounts, new axle
bearings and axle seals, the 8 inch pumpkin has had all 5 bearings replaced
with new ones, new fan belt, new hoses, new core support, heater box has been
rebuilt, new shocks, new brakes, carburetor has been rebuilt, new exhaust
manifold, new water pump, new wiper switch, new ignition switch, new drive
shaft and universal joints, new tires, new fuel tank, new fuel gauge sender unit,
new windshield, new windshield gasket, new back glass gasket, new carpet, new
head liner, new seat covers, new door panels, new package tray, really nicely
re-plated front and rear bumpers – these are a bit older, but are in excellent shape. I have installed new insulation before the
headliner was installed, and I have used Eastwood’s version of Dynomat under
the carpets on the very nice floor pans. The transmission works great, the
steering is good and tight, the brakes will stop on a dime. This car runs and
drives wonderfully. I’d drive it anywhere any time with very little worry –
just know that it is a 50 year old car, so things can happen at any time. I
have like 75 pictures to help document what this car is. I have a large amount
of brand new trinkets and trim pieces that go with the car. For example I have
new inside Futura door emblems, I have new Futura fender badges, new hood
ornament, new instrument cluster glass, new door panel escusions, new trunk
seal, new antenna, new turquoise inside paint, fender to apron seals, generator splash shield, rear quarter pillar seals, and various other
accouterments.

Ford F-150 RaptorTrax is Ken Block's ultimate snowmobile
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Even when Ken Block isn't starring in the latest Gymkhana video or tearing up Global RallyCross courses, he's finding new ways to redefine "awesome" as it applies to motorsports. For evidence of this, look no further than Block's latest Monster-badged creation, the Ford F-150 RaptorTrax.
Billed as the "world's fastest snowcat," the RaptorTrax started life as a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and then a set of Mattracks were put in place where the truck's bead-locked wheels and meaty rubber once resided. The goal was to create a truck that made it easier - and presumably more fun - for Block and his buddies to hit the slopes on their snowboards. Aside from the obvious track upgrades, this truck also received a Whipple supercharger, full roll cage, Recaro seats, an in-bed snowboard rack, a roof basket and a rear-mounted winch - you know, just in case something or someone actually manages to get this truck stuck.
The RaptorTrax will be on display later this week at the Winter X Games in Apsen, CO, but we'll have to wait until next winter for a full Block-worthy video of the truck. A full press release from Hoonigan Racing Division is posted below, and a high-res image can be found by clicking above.
2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition says 'happy birthday' in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Fifty years ago this week, Ford debuted the first-ever Mustang at the New York World's Fair. And to celebrate, the Blue Oval is offering up this special, 50th Anniversary Edition 2015 Mustang, which makes its debut at the New York Auto Show. It'll be a seriously limited affair, with only 1,964 examples of the special edition Mustang slated to be produced (the number chosen to coincide with the 'Stang's first year in production). But for those who raise their hands for the 50th Anniversary package, there's a pretty sweet package in store.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 2015 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, and is only available in two colors: Kona Blue, or Wimbledon White (pictured). The car also comes fully loaded - the only option for buyers to choose is the transmission. Should you opt for the six-speed automatic, you'll get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive ratio (the 50th Anniversary car is also the only way to get a slushbox-equipped 'Stang with the Performance Pack). Selecting the six-speed manual 'box will net you a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 ratio. All 50th Anniversary cars will be powered by Ford's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, estimated to produce more than 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque in the 2015 Mustang.
Inside, there's a cashmere-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, with a similar detail found on the instrument panel, shift boot, door inserts, seats, and center armrest. Two-tone leather/black upholstery is also part of the 50th Anniversary package, and of course, there's a special logo on the seats.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
