 I bought this as a project to do with my kid.  Life has changed and it is not going to get done.  It is a driver at present but it is still a project.  It sat for 7 years till I decided to let it go.  The guy I bought it from died shortly after sending it to me so there was no sending it back.  It was not as described but he was sick so I just kept it and was going to help my kid fix it right.  63 Falcon Sprint.   A real one. That is the good news. Bad news is that it has been modified.  302 Roller Motor from an HO  .  Has a mild solid roller cam.   Sounds great.  Has great low end.  Electronic distributor.  (Ford).  Starts with one half turn of the crank.  T-5 five speed with after market shifter.  Growls some in 3rd gear but shifts great.  Has a scattershield.  Clutch unknown.  No chatter.  No slip.  Shorty headers.  Flowmasters  (quiet must be Deltaflows). 9 " rear.  31 spline axles.  Detroit Locker.  Traction Bars.  They work.  This thing will do a burn out till next Tuesday without much effort.  Griffin radiator, aluminum.  Electric fan.  Cable clutch. Brand new ignition switch.  Battery in the trunk. 

   Tires will do to move it around and do burn outs but don't go too far.  I have done the safety stuff already.  It has rebuilt alternator, new regulator,  all wiring fixed for the charging circuit and it makes 14.1 volts.  Fuel lines are replaced so no fuel leaks.    It has a new Holley 670 street Avenger.  Works great.  Holley red pump.  Pressure regulator.  7 psi. 
  Interior is very tired.  Has some kind of after market buckets in the front. Car looks orange in the interior pics because I used the flash. It really is red. Has the Sprint console.  After market gauges in the dash actually work. 

  I will answer any questions the best I can.  I did not get too deep into this so some things I don't know.  It really does run like a champ and it has good oil pressure, 70 psi.  And I have not been able to make it run over 180 degrees. 

  We are busy racing cars and I have 2 other "whole car projects" so this one is not going to get done by me. Someone find it a home!!  Good basics are here.  Ask questions before you buy.  I will tell you everything I know.

Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.

2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.

Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
