Many more pics avail on request. I have stripped, bagged and tagged most of the car. Was running and driving a year ago. This is a super rare Canadian Falcon variant. I have ALL of the impossible to find trim items: Maple leaf emblems, hubcaps, front fender side trim, propeller styled grill, trunk lid, hood and decklid emblems, horn ring emblem, and unique air filter unit, etc. Additionally, I have a super rare Australian Hood Bird for the car, NOS front fender guides w. clear tips, a NOS set of rear fender spears (6 total), a prof, rebuilt pushbutton radio, repop fender skirts, full set or repop full rear 1/4s, manuals, and a few hundred $$ in other repop bits. Glass is all good. The bad? Front fenders, 1/4s and front floors. DS fender is to be replaced. PS has a patch. Floors need repop units - which are avail. and inexpensive. I am including full repop 1/4s in the sale - a $750 value! All parts except trim are same as falcon - and Falcons, like Model Ts, have tons of repop stuff avail at low cost. This is one of six known Frontenac 2dr to have survived, according to the experts. Original color was dark metallic blue w. aqua blue interior and two tone blue upholstery. These cars are cute as can be restored, and sought out for ProStreeting. I have advertised the car for sale or trade on kijiji Ontario and elsewhere. See kijiji.ca Ontario ad # 1003527776 Mileage referenced is a guess - I forget actual mileage. |

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown
Fri, 10 Jan 2014You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."
