1965 Ford Falcon Sprint. There's a pic of the door tag so you can break it down yourself if you wish.

This car is in amazing condition overall and it would be very hard to find one this nice; I know it took me forever to find this one!

Originally from California, moved to dry Eastern Washington some years later which is where I found it. 65,013 believable original miles. As far as I can tell about 6 owners. I cannot prove the miles, but if you know cars and look at the condition on this one, I think you will agree the 65K is right. There are many elements to the car that indicate the dry life and low miles. For example, the original grill has appropriate wear for the mileage, and there are lots more "tells" as you look it over. Underneath, clean and dry, not detailed, this is an honest car!

Engine/Drivetrain:

Drivetrain all fresh/tight/ready to go. 302 is NOM, but sweet runner w/mild cam, just right for driving. Rearend has an upgraded 9" w bung added for easy lube changes. Mechanically there has been restoration and upgrades, the car needs nothing mechanically. Engine, transmission, rearend, brakes (front disc.), AC, exhaust, tires, wheels; all upgraded/repaired/maintained and fully functional.

Interior:

Near mint interior. Factory AC, works great, blows cold. If you come look at it and pay for it, I will agree to ship the car (to AZ, CA, etc.). Seats covers have been replaced, still has the original console, appears to be original carpet/headliner. E-brake works, has original handle. Turn signals, wipers, everything works! Interior needs nothing. I do have and will include with the sale the original steering wheel and all parts/springs/etc. to put it back on if someone so desired. On the drivers door upper portion, there is a dent. It looks like it took a hard elbow or something at some point along the way, don't know and no matter what, there are so many positives to the inside, this is minor, and could be fixed pretty easily too.

Body:

Near mint body. Has had one re-spray, jambs were not done, you can tell this is a black car from new, see pic showing door tag. All body panels and trim are original, there is no evidence of any accidents. Paint and panel fit/straightness is all very nice. The paint is older however, and there are 4 flaws: decklid has small rub-through, body seam from trunk on driver side has small cracking in the lead, roof and passenger door have small (50 cent size) areas of checking in the paint. Otherwise paint is very very nice and these four small imperfections are not noticed by anybody looking at the car. I know they are there and if you really inspect the car, you would find these 4 spots. This is a black car; obviously if the body was not cherry it would easily show right away.

Overall:

This one is a nice mix of "original and unrestored" and "upgraded". It is an honest car with amazing bones and must have been garaged most of it's life. Very tough to find an original like this. At the same time, the upgrades all are very tasteful and make sense/add value (disc brakes, factory AC retained, sweet motor/exhaust, etc.). I don't see where an all original car could be bought and put in this condition for the price, not to mention the rarity of this car. Just finding a 65 Sprint that is unhacked and somebody would let go of is near impossible. It took me many years to acquire this one. If not for shifting circumstances in my life, I would not let go of this car.

In closing:

I am a busy person with a lot of responsibilities every day at work and a Family to deal with too, so please try and contact me only if you are a serious buyer, I don't have enough spare time in a day to just chat about the car with everybody. Thanks for understanding that part, and thanks for looking!

Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona

Thu, 10 Oct 2013

Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
