You are looking at a restored 1961 Ford Falcon 2 door sedan.  This car has been mechanically and costmetically restored by the owner.  The owner is a very good friend of mine, I am helping him sell it, he has no computer skills.  He has owned this car for almost 40 years, he bought it when he was 15, it was his first car.  Over the years, it has been built into an incredible muscle car.  It looks, runs, and drives mint!  Here is a list of what has been done to the car:

Engine:

302 Windsor engine, completely re-built by local machine shop, bored .30 over to 306 cubic inches.  Crankshaft was cut, chamfered, polished, and rotating assembly was fully ballanced!  TRW forged pistons, 10:1 compression ratio, runs on pump gas.  Chrome moly rings,  Lunati hydraulic cam and lifters, High volume oil pump, Adjustable rockers, 351 Windsor heads, completely re-built, ported and polished, three angle valve job, Manley valves, screw in studs with guide plates, hardened push rods, double roller timing chain.  Edelbrock Torquer intake manifold, 600 Holley dual feed, double pumper, Mallory ignition, Accell electronic distributor, 351 exhaust manifolds (jet hot coated), custom dual exhaust with turbo mufflers.  Everything on the engine is proffesionally powdercoated, and it looks awesome.  You could eat off of this motor.  The motor has about 5000 miles on it since it was re-built and installed in the car.  It runs awesome!

Drivetrain:

4 speed manual transmission, completely rebuilt, all steel bellhousing, 11 1/2" high performance clutch and flywheel, completely re-built 3:55 ratio, limited slip rear axle.

Misc:

Converted to 1 wire chrome alternator, battery was re-located to trunk, has new 3 core heavy duty radiator with electric fans, new Edelbrock aluminum water pump, has dual master cylinder with all new re-built drum brakes front and rear.  Drive shaft has high performance u-joints and was speed ballanced.  All 4 tires are new, high performance radials.

Suspension:

Completely re-done with all new ball joints, all new control arm bushings, heavy duty coil springs, heavy duty leaf springs, all new shocks!

Interior:

The owner spent over $5000 and had the interior completely re-finished by Top Stitch Upholstery Inc. They did all new seats, door panels, kick panels, carpets, headliner, everything. The dash board and the tops of the doors were all re-painted in basecoat clearcoat, and look better than new.  The floor pans were coated in bedliner spray, and look perfect under the carpets.

Body:

The owner of this car owns a body shop and has been painting cars since he was a teenager.  This car was stripped down to bare metal and completely re-finished.  The body is laser straight, and looks better than new.  The paint is DuPont basecoat/ clearcoat and it looks awesome.  The color is called Corinthian White.  I could not find one flaw in it, and it shines like new.  It has color coded bumpers, and grille.  The tail lights, door handles, emblems, were powdercoated also. 

 

This car is a turn-key muscle car that is ready for somone to drive and enjoy.  I drove it myself, and it runs and drives amazing.  It rides great, and has plenty of power for such a light car.  It is lots of fun!  It hits the road great, and sounds good too.  It's not too loud with the turbo mufflers, but it has a nice rumble!  It needs nothing!  I would be happy to show anyone the car, please e-mail me and we will set it up.

Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.

Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton ­similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
