This is a 1964 Falcon Sprint Convertible. Out of 36XX made that year there were 626 made with a bench front seat. Car is blue with a blue top and blue interior. Car has a power top that works fine (top on car is dusty but new). Front and back seats are in good shape. has good door panels but need new cardboard backs (warped). Has carpet with it but i would replace with new. Currently car's interior is out of car to finish hooking up wiring under dash and adjust windows. Car has had driver floorboard plated at some point as well as trans hump. Battery tray needs fixed in the engine compartment and passenger side quarter right at lip is starting to show signs of needing fixed. also has spot of rust under car at driver's door. Overall in my opinion car is very solid. Car's paint has plenty of chips and scratches but looks good from a distance (10ft) when all shined up. Will need a paint job in future but to me is presentable to drive. Has a '65 grille in front that is in too good a shape to take out. Car has a '68 302 in it with matching heads. Motor has been bored .40 over and has a C4 trans to back up motor. Motor has alot of chrome added to it to include chrome oil pan, oil filter cover, alternator bracket, alternator, fuel pump, trans pan, oil dipstick, etc. Radiator is new also as well as all the front suspension. Has disk brakes on front of car and drums on the back. Has new dual stainless flowmaster exhaust and sounds great to me. Car needs TLC and to be finished up to be a great car for someone. Only reason for selling is to fund two other projects. If you have any questions or would like to see couple short video clips of car running you can email, text or call. Email is Dclark027@gmail.com and phone number is (540) 461 3400. Thanks and good luck.

2015 Ford Focus Electric hides in plain sight
Wed, 16 Apr 2014The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.
Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.
Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013
Wed, 24 Apr 2013As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.
