This is a 2 door 1960 Ford Falcon, I'm told the chrome trim around the windows and gutter rail make this a "Futura" model.
This car is 90% rust free, there are only two spots that should need attention. The drivers side floor board and above the drivers side rear wheel, both are not big fixes.
The drivetrain consists of a 1969 200 inline 6 that was rebuilt by central cylinder 3-4 years ago. A year ago it was fitted with a new Weber 32/36 two barrel carb. Behind it is a manual 5-speed T5 transmission out of a 1984 Mustang. The tranny shifts good, all the clutch parts are only a few months old. I have a list of all the parts that made up the swap. It has the factory falcon 4 lug axle and front end. The brakes are all good, replaced under a year ago. 2" exhaust with a flowmaster 40 series muffler and a true "throttle body" exhaust cutout.
The interior is in immaculate condition, the seats were redone 3-4 years ago. The car has a "Retrosound" digital radio, with 4 speakers, 12" sub and an amp. The sound quality is very nice for what it is. Its not too loud outside the car either. The speedo reads high, like if you're going 60, it says 95. I have done some rough calculating and I figured the mileage to be about 60000.
It could use paint if you're feeling adventurous. As of now, the paint and Scallops are done with rustoleum. The roof however is painted very nicely with gold/rainbow metal flake. It looks amazing in the sunlight!
This car has been an amazing daily driver. At roughly 30 miles per gallon HWY and 18 in town, its great for economy driving! I've driven this car almost every day for the past year, it has never left me stranded.

Project Ugly Horse: Part IX
Thu, 20 Jun 2013One Step at a Time
Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.
Ford Fiesta rally car warms up in Sweden
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused FIA World Rallycross Championship and Patrik Sandell from the North American-focused Global Rallycross series for some training and fun. They certainly appear to be enjoying themselves, too, with some lovely pirouettes in the powder.
If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, the discipline combines the best of rallying and circuit racing. Drivers (with no co-drivers) race rally cars over a circuit that generally mixes dirt and asphalt, and unlike traditional rallying, multiple cars compete side-by-side at once. Even better, it's often a very two-fisted form of motorsports with lots of car-to-car contact. Global Rallycross and World Rallycross will both kick off their seasons in May. With spring on the way, scroll down to watch the Fiesta kick up some of the last snow drifts of the year.
2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jun 2014When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."
