1961 Ford Falcon 2 Door Station Wagon (like Sedan Delivery) on 2040-cars
Ada, Oklahoma, United States
|
I will try to describe this car best as I can. This is a very restorable vehicle.....The body is in good conditon...no major damage or rust. The only rust through I could see was two small holes on the hood, which IMO could be easily fixed with a MIG ......fenders, doors, quarters, tailgate good condition......I didn't crawl under car but there will be some floor work required but I dont think a total replacement.
Overall rust is not a major issue .. The rust you see in the photo is 99.9% surface rust. All the glass is in the car except the passenger vent window and all is in good condition.....Front seat is missing but I believe a two door Falcon coupe has same seat...rear seat is there...instrument panel good condition... All the trim is on the car, One trim piece. on the upper rear left quarter looks like somebody was bending it on purpose.....some dings in other trim but not bad and can be fixed..... Since it is stainless a professional could restore all pieces...one piece would take considerable work. the other only minor work.. Engine is a six banger, with a three on the tree tranny...believe it or not this car was a good running vehicle when parked about 40 years ago....hood has never been up since then so no water got on the engine...the oil is clean in the engine......I would almost bet that it would start with new points, plugs wires and carb rebuild...Remember it has been sitting in a fairly dry environment jn Oklahoma... I was going to haul this back to Florida but when I went to get it I had with me 14 inch tires and discovered that it has 13 inch four lug rims...that is why it is on blocks as I took three of the wheels off to get tires mounted.......i am almost sure the brake drums will be difficult to turn since it has been sitting for a long time and possible they will require replacement, I picked up a 57 Dodge same day I bought this and had to cut the brake drums off....Chances are the drums will have to be replaced anyway on the Falcon....\\ . Fortunately the dry Oklahoma weather didn't take it's toll on this collectible car and although the surface rust makes it look rough, it really is not....... Had it been down here in Florida with me it would be a rust bucket......whew.....It will require a little work to get the brake drums to turn and load this car on a trailer. Also the rear springs will need to be replaced as a couple of the leafs are broken. This I understand was a major problem on early Falcons because they are only 2 inches wide. I believe in 64 they put the 2.5 inch mustang type springs on Falcons....a good move on Ford's part......The car can be loaded and trailered but those springs will have to be replaced. I have found repo springs for about $100........... I will deliver this car to anywhere in just about the whole southeast for the cost of $1 a mile from it's current location. I will not deliver north of Oklahoma or west of Oklahoma...... Draw a line from Oklahoma City to Tallahassee FL and I will deliver anywhere close to that... otherwise it is LOCAL PICKUP only......Remember it will require some brake drum work....I have three 13 inch tires in the car but they need to be mounted. Best thing would be to bring four good four lug ford rims with tires and a trailer... Once again I will not arrange shipping other than where I have stated. It would be up to you to go get the car or arrange shipping. Since it will be hard to load take that into consideration BEFORE you bid......... The car is located in Ada, Oklahoma I do not have a title but can get one for an additional $250 over the selling price. It belonged to my uncle last and the Oklahoma DMV said it cost that much to get a duplicate title....... It will take a couple weeks to do that after the sale of the car...otherwise you will get a bill of sale and you can obtain your own title. Different states have different rules and cost for obtaining a title for non titled car...again take that into consideration BEFORE you bid.... This is a rare Falcon..I have not seen another one in a long time ...This wagon is five times as rare as a two door coupe and the least produced of all the Falcon lines.......two doors are very desireable ......I love the looks of the windows in ths car............. I can be reached at 850 377 8472 with any questions or send me an email.. I will accept pay pal for deposit and it is NON REFUNDABLE due with two days of sale...full price due within a week.....no exceptions..... I am honest you be honest with me....... |

2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 15 Oct 2013I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.
