1963 Ford Falcon Futura 4 Door Sedan

Car has a 170ci Inline six cylinder engine and a 2 speed automatic transmission, both believed to be original to the car.  The engine has been completely rebuilt at a cost of $1734 with all new internal parts.  I have all of the specifications on the rebuild and also all maintenance records and receipts.   A mechanic at a local shop told me the carburetor will need to be adjusted or replaced.  It is original and has been sitting on a shelf in my shop for many years during the restoration.  Everything is original except the seat belts, I installed newer, (1974), Ford ones for safety and the generator has been replaced with an alternator.  Car is rust free, paint is ok for a driver, body has no dents, and all the chrome trim is in very good shape.  All glass is original and in very good shape for its age.  Windows roll up/down as they should and doors open/close as they should, all work well for their age.  Under carriage is rust free.  Front end completely restored to as original and beautifully detailed.  New carpet has been installed with sound proofing underneath.  All 5 tires have 90% tread on them and engine has less than 100 miles sense rebuild.  Too many new parts to list.  I purchased this car in 2008 to restore but am now retiring.  I have sold my shop and need to sell this little Falcon to a new home.  Once the fuel delivery issue is sorted out I believe she would make a nice safe driver for someone’s teenager who likes older cars.  Sale also includes the following parts:  Chrome side mirror, 4 new chrome door handles, new door lock set, shop manuals, new engine decal kit, original generator, and original seat belts.  Car is being sold as is with no warranty written or implied.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and cost, I will help with loading on this end if needed.

Ford Australia pulls the ol' talking car prank

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Siri from Apple has proven that being able to talk to your technology doesn't always work perfectly. But what if it could eventually go far enough to give a personality to inanimate objects like our cars? Ford took just this path to comedic effect by playing a prank on many unsuspecting Australians, in a new commercial for its EcoSport compact crossover.
The Aussies seem very nonchalant about having a random parked car talk to them, and they seem surprisingly game when it asks them to get in, call a celebrity and tell a joke. (We're guessing there are some hilarious outtakes, too.) Scroll down to watch some folks from Down Under have a conversation with Ford's CUV.

Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well.
