"THIS IS THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF"
Anyone familiar with the Humphrey Bogart movie "The Maltese Falcon" knows this famous line from the end of the picture. Well, this little Falcon is also the stuff dreams are made of! What we have here is a rare 1964 Falcon Futura with the original 260 V8 engine and 4 on the floor stick shift. It sports brand new white paint, and it runs as good as it looks.
Some of us remember a time when you could march down to your local car dealer and order exactly the car you wanted! That is what the owner of this car did! He wanted a high-performance hard-top, so he optioned this car for everything the Sprint package offered, minus the side moldings and Sprint badges. As a result, this is a rare car. According to the Falcon Registry, there were only 235 of these cars made, and having a V8,  4 speed stick, with bucket seats and no console makes it almost one-of-a-kind. Even more rare is that it still has the original 260 V8 engine. Most of these engines are long-gone, everyone wanted a 302! But the Ford 260 V8 has an amazing history in the auto world.  This was the same engine found in the early "64 1/2" Mustangs, as Ford had not yet introduced the 289, not until later in '64. It was also the first engine Carroll Shelby used in his famous Shelby Cobra! And who can forget the car driven by Secret Agent Maxwell Smart from the TV show "Get Smart"? It was a Sunbeam Tiger with a 260! This was another hybrid car designed by Carroll Shelby that featured a hot-blooded American V8- the 260. For an engine that was produced for less than 2 years, it has an amazing pedigree!
Many fans of nostalgia drag-racing know of the notorious Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt. The white bodies, Thunderbolt lettering, and distinctive bubble hood scoop of these factory production racers are its best characteristic, while boasting a huge 427 FE engine and dual 4 barrel carbs. These legendary dragsters are highly sought-after. Even clones are commanding huge prices, at public auctions and on ebay. So this little Falcon- with its fresh white paint, hot 260 motor, stick-shift, and bubble hood scoop are reminiscent of a mini- Thunderbolt! At a fraction of the price!
 Now dont go ordering a 347 stroker, this Falcon is truly a Show and Go car! The 260 in this trick little rocket is built! A hot cam, Edelbrock aluminum intake, and Holley 650 carb make it fast! Traction bars keep it straight, and the front end and brakes are tight. And if you decide to run some passes at the next nostalgia drag race, you can un-cork the headers with the trick threaded-pipe cut-out exhaust! See the photo! And also notice the aluminum driveshaft!
 This car offers the best of both worlds- old-school looks, original engine and transmission, but with new paint and modern upgrades! Its a fast car that is fun to drive!
I have to mention that it currently has a T 5 transmission in it, which makes it a better hi-way cruiser because of the overdriven 5th gear. But I do have the original Borg Warner T 10- which has been re-built- to be included with the sale (No, the Ford top-loader trans wasnt introduced til later in '64!) 
*The underbody is rust free and solid.This is a rust-free southern car- sold in Atlanta Georgia.
*Headers and full exhaust from front to rear.
*The interior is original and in very good condition.
*The car is fully street-legal.
 
I have tried to describe this nice little car to the best of my ability. I do have a clear notarized Kentucky title. The car is currently in Kentucky, zip code  is 42066 if you wish for a test drive or inspection, or to calculate transportation.
This is your chance to own a rare piece of American  high-performance car history!
This Falcon is sure to appreciate, while you enjoy owning and driving it!

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

The 11 most expensive American cars ever

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.

Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
