On offer here is a beautiful, unrestored 1963 1/2 Falcon Sprint with a documented 31,721 miles on the odometer. This first year Falcon was launched in 1963 1/2 to showcase Ford's new Fairlane "Challenger" 260 which boasted an impressive 164 horsepower. These cars were produced in extremely limited quantity with only 10,479 produced and very few remaining today, especially in the unrestored state that this one is in. This is a factory original Sprint car as indicated by the following features: "F" code 260ci V8 engine with factory chrome oil filler cap, chrome valve covers with no oil fill holes, and extremely rare ORIGINAL chrome "double hump" air cleaner. The letters "F-A-L-C-O-N" on the rear tail panel. Futura hardtops had the letters "F-U-T-U-R-A" on the rear tail panel. You will see in coming pictures that the rear panel on this car has never been redrilled as is common practice with people making fake Sprints. The chrome side trim is un-painted in the ribbed section. Futura cars had the ribbed area of the side trim painted from the factory. Chrome interior windshield trim. Bucket seats and center console. "Falcon Sprint" horn ring with original recessed Sprint ensignia and wood-grain look steering wheel. "Sprint" badge on glovebox door trim. Non-padded dash with no trim holes for dash pad trim. "SPRINT" badge on front fender. "Sprint" "V8" badges on front fender. Futura cars with V8's got a "260 V8" badge. "Sprint" badge on rear pillar. Futura hardtops had a "Futura" badge. Factory Ford Chrome Wire Hubcaps. Futura cars had red, white, and blue stamped alloy hubcaps. Dash mounted tachometer. The tachometer in the car now is not the factory tachometer but I have the factory mount for it. The factory tachometers are readily available if you decide to replace it. Only 31,709 original miles as documented by previous inspection tickets and registration. Inspection ticket dates and mileages are as follows: June 1st 1973 - 16,591 miles December 28th 1973 - 22,842 miles June 13th 1974 - 27,663 miles June 11th 1982 - 30,859 miles December 19th 1984 - 31,002 June 20th 1996 - 31,077 miles June 16th 1997 - 31,111 miles February 23rd 1999 - 31,235 miles February 21st 2000 - 31, 299 miles March 7th 2001 - 31,333 miles Vehicle registration issued November 5th 2002 - 31,351 miles (stated as "ACTUAL" on registration) Current odometer reading as of March 14th 2014 - 31,721 miles This car is an EXCEPTIONALLY ORIGINAL car. and has been well taken care of its entire life. The car has had very little changed or replaced since it left the factory. The car has one older repaint in its factory color or Rangoon Red, one of the most desirable colors FoMoCo ever produced. The underside of the hood, door jams, underside of trunk lid, and inside of trunk still wear all original paint. Picture below is of an original underhood paint inspection stamping. The car features every piece of original, rust free sheet metal which it left the factory with. A small sample of the date codes present on this car's metal are as follows: The seats and door panels have been redone in the interior but, otherwise, the interior appears to be all original including the carpet. Every single piece of glass on the car is not only original Carlite Glass, but original glass to this car. The car retains every piece of glass it left the factory with. All glass is free of cracks or de-lamination. The radiator and water pump were recently replaced, however the ORIGINAL radiator and ORIGINAL water pump do come with the car upon its sale! The car runs cool and has NO LEAKS whatsoever. Shocks and tires were replaced approximately 10 years ago. The tires are still in as new condition and even still have the nubs on them. No dry rotting or cracking. The car recently received a set of 4 correct and near NOS Original FoMoCo Chrome Wire hub caps. These are what originally came on the car and it was not cheap to obtain a set this nice. The car also comes with original stainless steel fender skirts which are date coded 1960. The car also comes complete with original FoMoCo Dealer optional seat belts dated July of 1962! This car drives EXTREMELY well. There are no rattles or squeaks going down the road and no smoke from the exhaust. The car drives and stops straight and the doors shut like only an unrestored car's doors could shut! Overall, the car runs and drives like a car that has 31,000 original miles.

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.

A closer look at the 2015 Ford F-150
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Despite having to share Ford's Detroit Auto Show stand with the hot new 2015 Mustang, the brand-new F-150 was arguably an even more important debut. Why? Ford moved some 700,000 examples of its F-Series truck in 2012, making it not only the best-selling pickup truck, but the top-selling vehicle in the US, by a long-shot.
The 2015 F-150 raises the bar for pickup trucks in a big way, with big-time use of aluminum. Because of this, roughly 700 pounds have been removed from the truck's overall weight, making it even more efficient than before, while still offering all of the capability that pickup owners expect. And with a host of engines under the hood, including a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the 2015 F-150 will surely offer something for everyone.
During the Detroit Auto Show, west coast editor Michael Harley took a closer look at the new F-150, talking to some of the truck's engineers. Have a look at the full video, below.
