1968 Ford Falcon Sport Coupe on 2040-cars
Bel Alton, Maryland, United States
|
This is a 1968 Falcon Sport Coupe. The cars original suspension has been removed and replaced by a mustang II font end with coil over shocks and sway bar with rack and pinion steering. The rear leaf springs have been removed and replaced by a pro ladder bar suspension with coil over shocks and adjustable ride height as well as a track bar. The fuel tank has been removed and a 12 gallon fuel cell installed in the trunk. The battery has also been relocated to the trunk. The wiring harness has been replaced by a kwik harness. The original motor and trans were replaced by a 429 built motor and a C6 built trans with a 2500 stall converter. This motor puts out right at 590hp to the flywheel. It has a comp cam and valve train, electric water pump, Weiand intake, demon 850 carb, HEI distributor with Taylor wires, and Sanderson headers. The fuel system is 6AN stainless line from the holley electric pump to the carburetor. The exhaust is flowmaster. The drive shaft is custom built as well and hooks to a 9" rear with a nascar 410 diff. The brakes are aluminum 4 wheel disc SSBC calipers and slotted rotors with power brakes. The emergency brake (Lokar) has been relocated to the center hump between the seats. The shifter has been relocated to the floor and is a B&M slap shifter. The dash has been fiberglassed and 3 gauges added to the center of it. All gauges are autometer. The interior is all new reupholstered seats and side panels. There is a new headliner too. The carpet and kick panels are new. That is the good. Now the not so good. The brake lines will need to be replaced due to contamination. I do have all new stainless lines that go with it. The emergency brake works but needs adjustment. There is some rust under the front cowl where the air ducts were. The wiper components have been removed. The body is in descent shape for its age with a little rust. Most of the rust is around the trunk where the seal goes. The back roll pan also has some rust where the rear bumper goes. The hood is fiberglass and needs hinges or hood locks to mount it. The dash will need a little more fiberglass work to the finish to complete it. The engine runs great, but the carb needs to be rebuilt. The trans shifts great. The rear axle splines and bearings are all new. The floor pans have been replaced and painted with POR15. There is a set of front 5 point DOT seat belts that will need to be installed. I love this car, but my financial state is forcing me to sale it. I have over 15k invested in this car. These vehicles are very hard to find. The only part missing is the rear bumper. I have more pictures if needed.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like
Sat, 12 Oct 2013Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
A closer look at the 2015 Ford F-150
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Despite having to share Ford's Detroit Auto Show stand with the hot new 2015 Mustang, the brand-new F-150 was arguably an even more important debut. Why? Ford moved some 700,000 examples of its F-Series truck in 2012, making it not only the best-selling pickup truck, but the top-selling vehicle in the US, by a long-shot.
The 2015 F-150 raises the bar for pickup trucks in a big way, with big-time use of aluminum. Because of this, roughly 700 pounds have been removed from the truck's overall weight, making it even more efficient than before, while still offering all of the capability that pickup owners expect. And with a host of engines under the hood, including a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the 2015 F-150 will surely offer something for everyone.
During the Detroit Auto Show, west coast editor Michael Harley took a closer look at the new F-150, talking to some of the truck's engineers. Have a look at the full video, below.
Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.
