1963 Ford Falcon Original Paint 2dr Futura Hot Rat Street Rod Gasser Nice Clean! on 2040-cars
Jefferson City, Missouri, United States
|
Here is a VERY nice and VERY original 1963 Ford Falcon Futura 2dr sedan. This car has been in our family for over 20 years. It has been in indoor storage the past 10 years. Original paint, interior etc. Never restored. Very clean non restored car. 67967 actual miles. My mother drove this car to shows and cruise nights for several years and it has won many awards. Has been setting for 7-8 years. It fired right up with a hot battery and fresh gas less than a week ago. Engine is a 170 CI 6 cyl and sounds like a sewing machine!! Trans shifts good, rearend had new bearings and seals shortly before being parked. Carb had been rebuilt, and could probably use a basic kit from setting, but it did fire up and run, just didnt want to idle well. Brakes also work, but are sticking also due to setting. I think it would be fine with just a wheel cyl kit and fresh fluid. Shoes are good. Tires are like new, but are at least 10 years old. Paint is all original, some typical chips and blems from a 52 years of age, but shines and shows very well. Under side of car is also very clean, just dirt and cob webs from setting. Interior is Excellent for its age, no tears, or damage other than a couple dark age spots here and there, great carpet etc. Very impressive original interior for a car of this age!!! Am radio works as it should, all guages etc also work. E brake, heater, wipers all work as they should. All good glass and seals. 1 small star in windshield, was repaired many years ago, but is visible. All suspension steering etc is still good and tight and works smoothly. Some extra parts include: grill and headlight rings, several extra carbs, extra guage cluster, extra matching hub cap, and some extra body trim, and 2 spare pass side front fenders, and possibly a few other parts I may have forgotten about. This is as clean of an original un-restored old Falcon as you could ask to find. In a short weekend it could be show and cruise night ready. Hate to sell it as it has been in the family a long time, but I can no longer stand to see it just sit. Someone should be out enjoying it. Feel free to call with questions at (573)338-5356. a deposit of 20% due within 48 hours of autions end, and full payment within 5 working days, unless arrangements are made prior to auctions end. I can store free of charge for 40 days as long as it has been paide for. $15 per day after, unless other arragements are agreed upon. I can help load onto a trailer etc, but arrangements are to be made by the purchaser. Im sure I may have missed something, or left something out, so feel fre to ask questions. If you have to ask your wife or girlfriend for permission, please have it BEFORE bidding!!! This car has been in storage for a while, and is NOT road ready, but easily put back on the road, so plaese keep that in mind. Thanks for looking. |

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
2013 Shelby GT350
Fri, 31 May 2013Shelby is a name as synonymous with the Ford Mustang as marshmallows are with campfires. But unlike the short-lived sugary confection that is prepared on a stick, the late Carroll Shelby's name on the placard means added performance and exclusivity. Launched in 1965, the automaker's celebrated early cars were in production for a limited run - today, a mint concours-quality 1965 Shelby GT350 can sell for upwards of $350,000.
To coincide with the 45th anniversary of the original Shelby GT350, Shelby American reintroduced the GT350 in 2011. Like the original, it was only offered in white with blue stripes. Customers were offered a choice between naturally aspirated (440 horsepower) and two levels of supercharging (525 horsepower with a warranty or 624 horsepower without). The manufacturer calls the GT350 a "post-title" package, a term that means it starts out life as a stock Mustang and is modified outside Ford's factory (this is in contrast to the Shelby GT500, which is a standard Ford production car).
As the GT350 enters its third year, Shelby has made several changes. Mechanically, Wilwood brakes replace Baer units and Recaro seats and a tinted glass roof are on the options list. Cosmetically, the vehicle is now offered in most of the Blue Oval's factory colors, new multispoke wheels are available in Satin Black or Bright Silver Metallic finish, and customers can choose between Satin Black, Silver or Gloss White stripes (or Azure Blue Metallic on Performance White or Ingot Silver). Aesthetically, the look of the car has also changed somewhat - keen eyes will note that it actually appears more 'stock' than it did last year.
