Just in time for summer, a beautiful Red 1963 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible with bucket seats !
Please take a look at all the pictures....I bought this car perhaps 3.5 years ago from an older gent in CA and he had it restored / painted and I shipped back to New Jersey and have enjoyed it ever since. It's originally a CA car so there was no rust.that I can see.
It's a real head turner and runs, stops,etc just fine.....
I'm not an antique car expert, I just enjoy owning / driving it locally and to shows and enjoy the comments !
Not many of there convertibles left, especially in this shape and runs quite nicely :)
The milage indicates 77,357, I have no way of knowing if it's original, but based on the cars look and comments from the prior owner I woulden't be surprised. ! ( he knew the original owner and history of the car )
The paint shines quuite nicely, it runs just fine and the interior is in great shape with the correct door panels and the chrome is great ! ....the only issue I can see if when the car off is shut off, the battery drains in an hour or so, my guess is a short or bulb staying on draining the battery, I just disconnect the black cable...a minor fix and needs a new radio ( i have an extra one that comes with the car )
PLEASE NOTE: it's a 50 year car and isn't perfect, some minor blemishs ,etc.... In my opinion minor, nice paint...not a 10k paint job but not a cheap one either !
It needs a new top, I keep the top down all the time so the new owner if desired, can replace that.....not that expensive ! and the dash is a darker red / the last owner left it that way and used a dash pad....I have a new dash pad that I will include at no extra cost !
PLEASE NOTE: SELLING AS IS......NO WARRANTY IMPLIED !
Ok so now for the must add stuff. A PAYPAL deposit of $500.00 is required 24 hours after the auction ends and the remainder prior to pickup..... I can assist with the shipping if needed / will be here for pick-up,etc...
Please feel free to ask any questions and good luck bidding.
Located in Boonton NJ 07005...near RT80, RT46 and RT287

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
