Up for auction is my 1964 Ford Falcon Futura. I have owned this car for about five years. I originally bought the car as an I6 automatic and, over the course of about a year, converted it to a 302 V8 5 Speed.

This car runs and drives great. The transmission shifts very smoothly and the engine generates great power. It's got a custom exhaust which is not too loud but will get your attention when you get on the motor. With the front disc brakes and larger drums the car stops very well. The car always runs at 180 to 185 degrees; never had any kind of cooling issues. The car has been "adult" owned; no racing nor has it been driven hard.

The following is a list of modifications I've made to the car since I've owned it:

302 of a 78 Ford Granada. Heads were rebuilt to accomodate a different cam
Comp Cams 278H cam
Double roller chain / timing gears
High volume oil pump
HEI Distributor w/Ford Racing Wires
Edelbrock 1406 carburetor (600 cfm) w/electric choke
Weiand dual plane aluminum intake manifold
Ford Racing aluminum water pump
Hedman Headers
Aluminum Radiator (180 degree thermo)
World Class T5 transmission from a "fox body" Mustang (5 Speed)
Ford Racing clutch, flywheel pressure plate
Hurst stick shift
8" Maverick Rear End (3.00 gears); rear end housing was powder coated black
Ford Grandard front disc brakes; new front hoses
New dual master cylinder
2.5" Exhaust w/Magnaflow Mufflers
Auto Meter gauges (tachometer, voltage, oil pressure, temperature)
New engine bay wiring harness
Newer Interstate battery
V8 steering conversion done (pitman arm, idler arm, center link, upper and lower control arms); larger diameter sway bar
New suspension (front and rear springs, tie rods, etc).
New driveshaft
Rear air shocks with external fill
Floor pans coated in POR-15 and Dynamat
Newer tires with a lot of tread
New interior front / rear panels, new carpet
Rear trunk mat and fresh trunk seal
All windows and chrome are on the car. The chrome is original, looks very nice, but is not show quality.

The following items are included in the auction but not installed on the car:

California Car Cover
Door seal rubber (enough for both doors)
Interior edging trim (e.g. trim which goes around the door openings)

The car is in good condition but there are some issues which I will note here:

The original color of the car was Wimbeldon white. A previous owner painted it the color it is now which is a brighter white. I would say the paint is a 5 out of 10. It is presentable but nowhere near show quality
The speedometer and odometer are not connected. The T5 housing is for an electronic speed
There is a small oil leak from the rear of the pan
There is a small leak from the rear end
The front windshield has a faint scratch from the passenger side wiper. There is also a small divet in the windshield at the bottom of the passenger side
The horn does not work
The blinker switch does not have a "reset" (e.g. when you turn the wheel the blinker will not go off - you need to move the stick back)
There is a slight bend in the rear bumper from a previous owner.
The letter "A" is missing from the rear deck. I refused to buy a Chinese made letter and was not able to find an OEM one to replace it.
There is a slight crease in the lower rear fender on the driver's side (you can see that in the pictures)
Driver's side door plunger needs to be reconnected; does not affect the operation of the lock
Small rip in the carpet on the passenger's side floor (about two inches)

For the high bidder a deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction. Payment must be received within 7 (seven days) of the end of the auction. The winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements including carrier and cost.

I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL AS A FORM OF PAYMENT. I WILL ACCEPT CASH, MONEY ORDERS, CASHIERS CHECKS AND WIRE TRANSFERS. ALL FUNDS MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS SHIPPED.

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.

Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.

Ford S-Max Concept previews new look, technology for Euro seven-seater

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Ford unveiled today the S-Max Concept, which comes with a new, sleek look and loaded with innovative technology, such as a heart-rate monitoring seat. But if you're heart is set on a minivan sports activity vehicle (SAV) and you live in the States, don't wait for this one - it's a Europe-only product, and we don't expect that to change when the next-gen S-Max is released.
The styling follows Ford's global design language, looking a bit like an overgrown Focus hatchback with the company's signature grille, wraparound headlamps, steeply raked windshield and curved roof line. Ford also implemented details to make the S-Max look longer and faster, such as a feature line on each side of the vehicle and muscular-looking fenders. The engine isn't Ford's most powerful, but the new 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine should be potent enough with turbocharging and other efficiency related technologies.
Ford says the new interior, which seats up to seven people, features high-quality materials and fine detailing, such as an "ultra-soft" leather wrap for the instrument panel and leather and carbon-fiber details on the seats. Ford's Sync connectivity system with MyFord Touch makes the car a wireless hotspot, and there's a tablet docking station for second-row occupants.
