1964 Or 1965 Ford Falcon On A International Scout 4x4 Frame Rat Rod Lot Drives on 2040-cars
Saint Michael, Minnesota, United States
Up for auction in a 1964 or 1965 Ford Falcon body sitting on a International Scout 4x4 drive train. It's called a Ford-National. There is no title for the car or the 4x4 frame and is sold with a bill of sale only. I repeat there is no title and sold with bill of sale only. Vehicle is sold as is with no warranty. I have driven it around the block and it runs and drives. The brakes need to be bleed. but if it ever warms up in the Mid-West I will try to do that. They work, but just need to be pumped like the Flintstones mobile to stop. The car runs good, but the carb really needs to be adjusted or rebuilt. It hates to idle and Again if it warms up I will tinker with that. It is a Holly 2-barrel. The motor runs off a bottle under the hood. The gas tank looks nice, but the fuel lines have not been run yet. The glass is good including the windshield and all the windows roll up and down. I have not been in the trunk yet and am looking for a key to get in. It has a 3-speed on the floor and shifts well. Use as a parts vehicle, Rat Rod or a mud runner, you make the call. I think it looks cool and is different and I purchased it for that reason. What you see is what it comes with and nothing else. It needs body work, tune up, interior work and who knows what else. That is all I know about the vehicle since I did not dive into it and just drove it up and down the block before loading it on a trailer. If it does not sell I may part it out, fix the mechanics and use as a mud runner or use as a rat rod. The options are endless since there is a blank canvas to start with. It will need tires also, the ones on it are cracked. If you have more questions please shoot me an email I work during the day and will get back to you in the evening. Winning bidder to pay $300.00 by pay pal within 5 days of auction ending and vehicle can sit for 30 days if need to before pick-up. Balance to be paid by check, money order or cash before vehicle will be released. |

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.
Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die
Tue, 20 Aug 2013When Ford made the decision to end production of the Falcon sedan and Territory CUV in Australia, it wasn't a popular move Down Under. The large, four-door Falcon had been in production for 50 years, and while Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to the Australian market, it's understandable that some people still aren't all that crazy about the Blue Oval's decision.
Speaking to CEO Alan Mulally after Ford's Go Further event in Sydney, Australian site Go Auto reports that the decision was not one made lightly, and that the automaker is doing everything possible to respect the Falcon and Territory's "stakeholders." It's an interesting piece that shows a softer side of a corporation, while demonstrating that Ford is doing everything in its power to make the end of production as smooth as possible for all parties.
Head over to Go Auto for the full series of remarks from Mulally, and then let us know what you think of Ford's handling of the Falcon and Territory discontinuations, in Comments.
