For sale is a 1967 Ford Falcon Futura Wagon with a 289 V8. The car has A CLEAR NORTH CAROLINA TITLE in my name. It has 158,700 miles on it and it does run and does drive. It is optioned from the factory with the 289 V8, Automatic Transmission, 3.00:1 Rear Gear Ratio, Air Conditioning, Power Assist Ram Steering, Power Brakes, Power Rear Window, Luggage Rack, Front Sway Bar, Towing Package Rear Suspension, Day/Night Mirror, and AM Radio. The car is a highly optioned car within a low production run 1 of Approx. 4500 made so it would be a good candidate for an as is fixer upper driver, a full restoration, or a resto-mod car.

Please read on for more specifics of the car:

Body/Paint: The body is in fair condition with minimal rot with some surface rust all as pictured.-Specifically the lower portion of the tailgate, in front of the rear tire area above the outer rocker panels near the back doors, under the tail light, and some other small attention areas. The front and rear floors are solid and the big trunk floor is 98% with only a couple small pin holes in the rear corner about a foot towards the middle, and a foot forward from the back tailgate.(probably due to moisture sitting under the rear trunk rubber floor mat). The paint is original and it maintains its copper color, the wheels are black with painted silver dog dish hubcaps.

Interior: The interior is original to the car and showing some wear. The headliner should be replaced as well as the carpet and dash pad. The original bench seats are in good condition with the only blemish being on the drivers seat bottom as pictured. The original rubber trunk mat is also still in the car. The door windows all roll up and down as they should.

Electrical: The wiring harness and original wiring are present and work. All of the gauges except for the fuel gauge work, all of the exterior lights work as well. The blower for the AC or heater does not turn on. The AM radio does turn on and work but would need a new dash speaker. I had the power rear window motor disassembled, fixed and reinstalled so the window went up and down, but it just stopped in the full up(closed) position, not sure why now.

Running Gear:Original 289 V8 engine that runs. It was tuned up with new plugs, cap, and rotor also an oil change with valvoline oil and a motorcraft filter. A new Duralast Lifetime starter and fan belts were installed as well. A new fuel filter was installed as well as a mild carburetor freshen performed. The engine still retains a miss that should go away with driving it. I would go through engine and re-gasket it to make it 100% and reliable. The AC needs to be recharged. The heater core is bypassed. The radiator does have a decent leak and should be replaced. However the transmission was rebuilt by the previous owner and shifts properly. The rear end is a 9" and has a 3.00 gear.

Steering/Suspension: The power assist steering ram leaks and needs to be rebuilt. The steering components are original and have been greased where greasable. The suspension is stock and original with the optional towing package rear leaf springs and front sway bar.

Brakes: Optional power front and rear drum brakes with booster working properly. The brakes have been gone through with 4 wheel cylinders, hoses, and the master cylinder being replaced. I had new bearings and inner wheel seals installed in the front hubs while the brakes were being serviced.

Glass: All of the glass is original and not cracked.

Bright work: All of the correct original brightwork is on the car.

Exhaust: Currently has old duel dumps exiting under the car, but needs a full exhaust system put on.

Wheels/Tires: The wheels are 14" steelies with dog dish hub caps, with 4 decent tires.

Summary: The car is not the best I've seen, but by far not the worst. Keep in mind I have driven this car through all 3 gears up to 60 mph, and it was not just once or twice, so it does work under its own power. With its rarity and high options, clear title, running condition, and its ability to drive and stop, it makes it all worth the while. It is a cool car and I have not seen another one in person to date.

Disclaimer: The car is for sale locally. The owner has the right to cancel the auction at any time for any reason. No warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied with the car being sold in "AS IS" condition.

If you have any questions about the car at all, please feel free to ask and I will post them to the eBay page for everyone to see.

Thank you for your time and interest. Happy Bidding!

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
