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

Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.
Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
