1960 Ford Falcon Two Door Coupe on 2040-cars

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.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

Ford is recalling more Takata airbag-equipped Ford and Lincoln models

Thu, Mar 2 2017

The Basics: Takata, the beleaguered airbag supplier at the root of the largest recall in automotive history, has informed Ford of a problem with the airbags in just over 30,000 Ford and Lincoln models. The problem is not related to the non-desiccated ammonium nitrate airbag inflators that plague the other airbags ( including many Fords), meaning there isn't a risk of shrapnel flying out from the units in this particular recall. The Problem: In the event of an accident, the front airbags may only partially inflate, and the airbag may become detached from the module because of misaligned parts. The problem affects 2016 and 2017 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models built at the Oakville Assembly Plant. The issue also affects 2017 Lincoln Continentals that were built at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Injuries/Deaths: In a release, Ford stated that it is not aware of any accidents, injuries, or deaths related to the airbag issue. The Fix: Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag module at no cost. If You Own One: Sit tight and wait for Ford to notify owners. When that happens, take your car to the dealer for a replacement. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
