1965 Falcon " Barn Find " old Super Stock Drag Car - Last raced about 12 years ago. Owned and built by the same person for over 25 years. I bought this from the original owners Daughter. Over $30,000.00 total invested in the car. He built it using all the best parts available for the time. It ran in the 10's with a 289 in it. I have no times with the 351 that is presently in it . What you see in the photos is what you get . This is as honest as I can be about this car. I have never heard it run and spoke very little to the original owner before he died . He built a 351 windsor with Cleveland Roush intake and heads . It has roller rockers and a nice carb. It has line lock and a reverse pattern with manual valve body transmission. The shifter is rachet . The gauges and all electronics are wired and ready to go. It has a rev limiter and as usual electric fuel pump. It has Wildwood rack and pinion steering and disc brakes. The front end is tied so when the front wheels come off the ground the suspension doesn't travel too much. It was professionally back halved and even has a place to hook a parachute on the rear end housing . Nothing was spared on this car. It does show it's age and the fact it was sitting. It can easily be cleaned up and raced again. The fuel cell is dry and lines disconnected to keep the fuel from jelling. The tires are dry rotted. The interior is nice and all the hard work is done. It has a snorkle style hood that is fiberglass , as is the trunk. Prior owner would get it running once a year to keep things working. The car is being sold with " A BILL OF SALE ONLY " . It never had a title for the past 25 plus years and I bought it with a notarized bill of sale from the original owners Daughter.. I will give this to the new owner at the time of sale. Now is your chance to get into racing CHEAP .. It needs minor work but is a great deal for someone wanting to race. It is a time capsule of racing nostalgia. Cash only at time of pick up. Must be picked up within 10 days of sale. I will not accept Postal Money Orders. ONLY cash or certified cashiers checks. My phone number is 814-349-5875 for any questions . If it doesn't sell I will put it in the garage till I either race it or find someone who appreciates all the time and money the prior owner invested in it. I am retired and do not need to sell the car : so please no " Low Ballers " need call me about the car. I may be inclined to sell it as a roller but only for a " FAIR PRICE " . Thank you

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe
Tue, 01 Apr 2014There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.
