Up for auction is a 1960 Ford Falcon two door coupe. It has the 144 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder motor with the manual 3 speed shift on the column. There is no rust on the body. The driver's side floor pan is rusted through in an area about 1"x4" at its lowest point. The previous owner patched it with so it does not leak. Other than surface rust on the bottom of the car, the only other area of rust is at the rear of the right rear wheelwell. Both of these areas can be seen on the photos below. There is no rust in the trunk or engine bay areas.
When I got the car both bumpers were painted dark green to match the wheels and interior trim. They were in good shape with no dents so I had them, as well as the grill, chromed within the past 45 days. All of the stainless trim around the windows and doors is in very good condition. All of the glass has the original "Ford" logos. The windshield does not have any cracks but is pitted from age. The rest of the glass is in very good condition. The pivot pins on both vent windows are broken but the windows will shut tightly. The door glass rattles in the frame as the window tracks are worn. The paint is good but not a high end paint job. The tires are brand new and have less than 100 miles on them. There is a spare wheel that does not have a tire mounted on it. There is no jack or lug wrench. The engine starts easily even on cold days. It has a manual choke and soon settles into an even idle. There are no hesitations or flat spots on acceleration. There are small oil drops and a small coolant drop under the car after it sits for awhile. The clutch works well with no grinding on upshifts or downshifts. First gear is not synchronized. The brakes have been recently bled and the pedal is hard when pumped. However, the first time you hit the brakes, there is some distance before the breaks work. Once it reaches that point, the car stops well and straight. The interior is in excellent shape with newly recovered seats, new door panels, new carpet and a new headliner. The gas gauge reads nearly 1/2 full all of the time and the temperature gauge did not move, although it was very cold the day I drove the car. The car has one set of keys, an ignition key and a key for the trunk. The trunk has a carpet liner. The entire car is very clean including the trunk and engine bay. Here's the story on why I am selling the car. Last year I restored a 1964 Corvette coupe. I took a 1957 Chevrolet 150 on trade plus cash. I put the '57 Chevy on eBay but it did not meet my reserve. The high bidder called me after the auction was over and wanted to trade cars. I did not really want a 1960 Falcon but we eventually agreed on a difference figure that worked for both of us. Now I want to sell the Falcon to cash out of my Corvette. I have not driven the car very much but it appears to be a reliable car. As I said earlier, it always starts on the first turn. It drives well down the road and does not pull to either side. The guy that traded it to me drove it often and said it never let him down. I have a clear North Carolina title for the car in my name. I have taken a bunch of photos of the entire car including the bottom and the can be seen at: http://s188.photobucket.com/user/jerhofer/library/1960%20Ford%20Falcon?sort=3&page=1 The car is sold as is with no warranty. If you have questions, please give me a call at 704-657-8320. On Feb-04-14 at 19:28:28 PST, seller added the following information: Be sure to scroll down for the photos.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Ford Explorer Jackson Pollock Edition results in trip to hospital
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Among the many useful pieces of driving advice we've taken to heart over the years, "Safely secure all cargo" is etched pretty high on our personal stone tablets. We've had a couple of frustrating moments over the years (numerous wonky cupholders and too-tall lidded cups; a radar detector that released its suction cups and dashed itself below the dashboard, etc.), but never anything like the scene above.
These photos above come courtesy of the Washington State Patrol, and they show the unfortunate aftermath of a driver, his dog, and his Ford Explorer after it crashed near the town of Belfair last week. According to reports, the man was schlepping five-gallon containers of paint inside his vehicle when he was involved in an unexplained accident. It's not clear what triggered the crash, but the impromptu abstract painting covered the whole of the interior, including the driver and his faithful companion.
The man was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and his dog was cleaned and later taken to a humane society.
Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en
Mon, 29 Oct 2012Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
