"THIS IS THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF"
Anyone familiar with the Humphrey Bogart movie "The Maltese Falcon" knows this famous line from the end of the picture. Well, this little Falcon is also the stuff dreams are made of! What we have here is a rare 1964 Falcon Futura with the original 260 V8 engine and 4 on the floor stick shift. It sports brand new white paint, and it runs as good as it looks.
Some of us remember a time when you could march down to your local car dealer and order exactly the car you wanted! That is what the owner of this car did! He wanted a high-performance hard-top, so he optioned this car for everything the Sprint package offered, minus the side moldings and Sprint badges. As a result, this is a rare car. According to the Falcon Registry, there were only 235 of these cars made, and having a V8, 4 speed stick, with bucket seats and no console makes it almost one-of-a-kind. Even more rare is that it still has the original 260 V8 engine. Most of these engines are long-gone, everyone wanted a 302! But the Ford 260 V8 has an amazing history in the auto world. This was the same engine found in the early "64 1/2" Mustangs, as Ford had not yet introduced the 289, not until later in '64. It was also the first engine Carroll Shelby used in his famous Shelby Cobra! And who can forget the car driven by Secret Agent Maxwell Smart from the TV show "Get Smart"? It was a Sunbeam Tiger with a 260! This was another hybrid car designed by Carroll Shelby that featured a hot-blooded American V8- the 260. For an engine that was produced for less than 2 years, it has an amazing pedigree!
Many fans of nostalgia drag-racing know of the notorious Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt. The white bodies, Thunderbolt lettering, and distinctive bubble hood scoop of these factory production racers are its best characteristic, while boasting a huge 427 FE engine and dual 4 barrel carbs. These legendary dragsters are highly sought-after. Even clones are commanding huge prices, at public auctions and on ebay. So this little Falcon- with its fresh white paint, hot 260 motor, stick-shift, and bubble hood scoop are reminiscent of a mini- Thunderbolt! At a fraction of the price!
Now dont go ordering a 347 stroker, this Falcon is truly a Show and Go car! The 260 in this trick little rocket is built! A hot cam, Edelbrock aluminum intake, and Holley 650 carb make it fast! Traction bars keep it straight, and the front end and brakes are tight. And if you decide to run some passes at the next nostalgia drag race, you can un-cork the headers with the trick threaded-pipe cut-out exhaust! See the photo! And also notice the aluminum driveshaft!
This car offers the best of both worlds- old-school looks, original engine and transmission, but with new paint and modern upgrades! Its a fast car that is fun to drive!
I have to mention that it currently has a T 5 transmission in it, which makes it a better hi-way cruiser because of the overdriven 5th gear. But I do have the original Borg Warner T 10- which has been re-built- to be included with the sale (No, the Ford top-loader trans wasnt introduced til later in '64!)
*The underbody is rust free and solid.This is a rust-free southern car- sold in Atlanta Georgia.
*Headers and full exhaust from front to rear.
*The interior is original and in very good condition.
*The car is fully street-legal.
I have tried to describe this nice little car to the best of my ability. I do have a clear notarized Kentucky title. The car is currently in Kentucky, zip code is 42066 if you wish for a test drive or inspection, or to calculate transportation.
This is your chance to own a rare piece of American high-performance car history!
This Falcon is sure to appreciate, while you enjoy owning and driving it!

Ford made three big mistakes in calculating MPG for 2013 C-Max Hybrid
Tue, Jun 17 2014It's been a rough time for the official fuel economy figures for the Ford C-Max Hybrid. When the car was released in 2012, Ford made a huge deal about how it would beat the Toyota Prius V, which was rated at 42 combined miles per gallon, 44 city and 40 highway. The Ford? 47 mpg across the board. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? Well, after hearing customer complaints and issuing a software update in mid-2013, then discovering a real problem with the numbers last fall and then making a big announcement last week that the fuel economy ratings of six different 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles would need to be lowered, the C-Max Hybrid has ended up at 40 combined, 42 city and 37 highway. In other words, the Prius trumps it, as daily drivers of those two vehicles have known for a long time. The changes will not only affect the window sticker, but also the effect that the C-Max Hybrid (and the five other Ford vehicles that had their fuel economy figures lowered last week) have on Ford's compliance with greenhouse gas and CAFE rules for model year 2013 and 2014. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? There are two technical answers to that question, which we've got below, as well as some context for how Ford's mistakes will play out in the bigger world of green vehicles. Let's start with Ford's second error, which is easy to do since we documented it in detail last year (the first, needing to do a software update, was also covered). The basic gist is that Ford used the general label rule (completely legally) to test the Fusion Hybrid and use those numbers to figure out how efficient the C-Max Hybrid is. That turned out to be a mistake, since the two vehicles are different enough that their numbers were not comparable, despite having the same engine, transmission and test weight, as the rules require. You can read more details here. Ford's Said Deep admitted that the TRLHP issue is completely separate from the general label error from last year. Now let's move on to last week's announcement. What's interesting is that the new recalculation of the MPG numbers – downward, of course – was caused by a completely separate issue, something called the Total Road Load Horsepower (TRLHP). Ford's Said Deep admitted to AutoblogGreen that the TRLHP issue had nothing to do with the general label error from last year.
Xcar shows how to drive the Ford Model T
Wed, Jan 21 2015A couple of weeks ago Xcar posted a teaser review of the Ford Model T, a look at what the British duo would have been doing if they'd been doing their thing for 100 years. Now we have their complete, 12-minute take on the what might be, as they say, "arguably the most important car of the 20th century." Thankfully, instead of just a review, Xcar spends about half the time giving us a tour of history, from Ford's early days working for the Edison Illuminating Company to his racing days and founding of several car companies that either died or became other car companies after he left, like Cadillac. They also line up the pieces and the sales realities that led to Ford implementing – not creating, mind you – assembly-line production of the Tin Lizzie. And then they get into how crazy it is to drive, like how a driver needs two of the three pedals, the handbrake lever and a steering column stalk to get into high gear. Enjoy the video above on a 100-year-old car that is "unbelievably comfortable," "mildly terrifying" and ready to do just about anything.
Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.
