1965 Ford Falcon Hardtop Rolling Shell Rust Free on 2040-cars

Year:1965 Mileage:99999 Color: that goes around the windows

If you have been looking for a straight rust-free hardtop platform, this might be the one for you.  Whether you want to swap chassis with your rusty classic, or build something from scratch, this body has a lot of options.
Years ago, this car was stolen and stripped, then bought from a salvage yard and stored for a few years as a parts car.  In California, the fees are up to date.  All it needs for registration is a safety inspection, when it's competed of course.
Or, if you just need the chassis to swap out with another, then of course you can use your own title. 

There seems to be very little bondo on this car.  As far as the metal goes, there is a ripple just behind the drivers door that needs to be popped out - it shouldn't take much to true it out - especially with the seats and panels out of the way. There is also a dent in the rocker panel on the passenger side just below the front of the door.  Otherwise, the body is very straight how it sits and all of the sheet metal is in great shape. 

The car had a V-8 and an automatic before it was stolen.  It looks like there was a B&M shifter from the rectangular shape of the cut-out in the floor pan.  

What is included:  A rolling chassis sitting on an 8" rear end, 5 lug front end, doors, fenders, hood, decklid, all glass, chrome molding interior and exterior that goes around the windows, and along the roof rail. Power steering idler arm and link.  All wiring except for engine compartment.

Optional parts not included in the above price:
  • Bumpers w/ brackets - $100 each
  • Tail lights - $50
  • Instrument panel with 4 piece futura dash plastic - $100
  • Rebuilt AOD Transmission w/ shift kit:  $600
  • '65 Mustang tunnel hump with cross-member and automatic floor shifter:  $150
Feel free to call with questions:  619-517-2200.

Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.

Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.

Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.
