THIS CAR RUNS GREAT AND TURNS HEADS. Four door. Has a 170 straight six
with only 53,000 miles. I drove it down the highway at 65-70 MPG from
Chippewa Falls to Minneapolis with no problems. Gets about 22 MPG.
Three on the tree manual transmission. I just had the clutch replaced.
I also replaced the valve cover gasket and manifold gasket, overhauled
the carb, and tightened up the exhaust.
Interior is original upholstery in great shape except for wear on the driver's seat (see photo). Tires good, brakes good, all glass good, window cranks and locks work, heater works great, CD player in the glove box (no original radio), two pair of side mirrors (chrome and black), huge clean trunk with full size spare, and cushy comfortable seats. The exterior looks pretty good but needs work. All chrome and emblems are on the car. Three rust holes by wheel wells and some funky attempts at touching up spots. I suspect the surface was not wiped down before spraying, hence the little spots (see photos). There are also typical dings and dents but no evidence of accidents. This car would look fantastic with a paint job! I've had a blast driving this car. I bought it last spring and have used it as a daily driver while I worked on the minor stuff. Selling because of lack of space in our garage and to help pay college tuition for our two kids (no toys for Dad). Includes: 1962-1964 Fairlane shop manual and two sets of matching plates, one set is 1963 with '64 tags, and one is 1964. 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, Falcon |

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars
Thu, 10 Jul 2014It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
