Ford Falcon Futura Convertible on 2040-cars
Hemlock, New York, United States
You are looking at a 1963 Ford Falcon convertible. It is a 3-speed automatic (on the column) with a straight-6 cylinder 170HP motor with a single barrel carburetor. Current owner bought the car in November 2009 with the plan to fix it up to drive it during the summers. The car has been stored in a heated garage 8 months of the year since current owner bought in 2009. The car is originally from Oregon. I live in Buffalo, NY. The car has been driven sparingly: About 3000 miles a summer. You will see that there is a parts catalogue for MAC’S Antique Auto Parts, which deals solely in antique Ford parts. They are a local company (to Buffalo, NY). I have been able to replace any part I needed. The following is a list of work done to restore the car for the purpose of driving and using it: 1)11/2009: Rebuilt motor and transmission; 2)12/2009:Replaced distributor; 3)03/2010:New carburetor, exhaust, and front end; 4)04/2010:Seat recovered and new carpet installed (authentic replacement) 5)06/2010:New battery and front shocks 6)07/2011:New brakes—all wheels; 7)04/2012:New springs on front and back end and new rear shocks; 8)04/2012:New gas tank, fuel pump, and sending unit; 9)09/2013:New soft top;10)06/2014:Replaced faulty battery, paint touched up and green trim\completely redone; 11) 07/2014:New radiator 12) 04/2015 After photos; chrome windshield frame redipped to remove tin pitting I have changed the oil on the car every 1500 miles and take very good care of it. It was restored in order to be driven, however, someone could make this a show car if desired. I am not finding enough time to use the car lately. I have had a lot of fun with it. It’s just time to sell it. However, I do want to get an appropriate price for it, and if I cannot I will not sell the car.

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang
Thu, 05 Dec 2013J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
