1968 Ford Falcon Sport Coupe on 2040-cars
Bel Alton, Maryland, United States
|
This is a 1968 Falcon Sport Coupe. The cars original suspension has been removed and replaced by a mustang II font end with coil over shocks and sway bar with rack and pinion steering. The rear leaf springs have been removed and replaced by a pro ladder bar suspension with coil over shocks and adjustable ride height as well as a track bar. The fuel tank has been removed and a 12 gallon fuel cell installed in the trunk. The battery has also been relocated to the trunk. The wiring harness has been replaced by a kwik harness. The original motor and trans were replaced by a 429 built motor and a C6 built trans with a 2500 stall converter. This motor puts out right at 590hp to the flywheel. It has a comp cam and valve train, electric water pump, Weiand intake, demon 850 carb, HEI distributor with Taylor wires, and Sanderson headers. The fuel system is 6AN stainless line from the holley electric pump to the carburetor. The exhaust is flowmaster. The drive shaft is custom built as well and hooks to a 9" rear with a nascar 410 diff. The brakes are aluminum 4 wheel disc SSBC calipers and slotted rotors with power brakes. The emergency brake (Lokar) has been relocated to the center hump between the seats. The shifter has been relocated to the floor and is a B&M slap shifter. The dash has been fiberglassed and 3 gauges added to the center of it. All gauges are autometer. The interior is all new reupholstered seats and side panels. There is a new headliner too. The carpet and kick panels are new. That is the good. Now the not so good. The brake lines will need to be replaced due to contamination. I do have all new stainless lines that go with it. The emergency brake works but needs adjustment. There is some rust under the front cowl where the air ducts were. The wiper components have been removed. The body is in descent shape for its age with a little rust. Most of the rust is around the trunk where the seal goes. The back roll pan also has some rust where the rear bumper goes. The hood is fiberglass and needs hinges or hood locks to mount it. The dash will need a little more fiberglass work to the finish to complete it. The engine runs great, but the carb needs to be rebuilt. The trans shifts great. The rear axle splines and bearings are all new. The floor pans have been replaced and painted with POR15. There is a set of front 5 point DOT seat belts that will need to be installed. I love this car, but my financial state is forcing me to sale it. I have over 15k invested in this car. These vehicles are very hard to find. The only part missing is the rear bumper. I have more pictures if needed.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road
Sat, 12 Apr 2014If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.
