We are moving and third baby forces sale of my beloved project car. I am a professional automotive painter, and this was my personal project until my son came along and we had to buy a minivan. Needless to say, for a multitude of reasons, I must sell the Falcon that I've put countless hours into. Okay, now on to details of the car.
I purchased this original California car back home in Modesto California about 8 years ago, brought it up to Idaho with me when I moved, and finally decided to tear into it. It wore it's original white paint, and had red interior. The only rust on the car was below the rear glass window, which I cut out and welded in new metal. That was it! The floor, quarters and doors are immaculate for a car of its age, and no major damage anywhere!

1966 Ford Falcon NOT RUNNING YET
Rebuilt 302, ZERO Miles on motor since rebuild. Mexican block(stronger with beefier main caps and ARP STUDS) Heads are reworked 351 Windsor heads for the larger valves(Stainless), Comp-Cams roller rockers, Edelbrock intake and carb, mild performance hydraulic cam with a decent idle. Aluminum valve covers.
Ford Toploader 4 speed transmission. Original factory shifter, tunnel hump, clutch pedal and linkage.
9 inch rear axle. The differential has a 3:1 ratio, Non-posi (open).
Wheels are stock 14 inch steel with old used tires, the rims in the photos were borrowed for the car show which I won 3rd in the "In progress" class. (The motor wasn't in at the time, and the other two cars that got 1st and 2nd were running already)
NEW disc brakes, stock 4 piston caliper, not the later Granada brakes.
NEW front suspension COMPLETE, including a 1 Inch sway bar.
Reconditioned steering box.
Tie rods are the old ones, haven't gotten around to replacing them yet, and needed to get the wheels connected to the steering wheel before the car show. I have a pair of either the inner or outer can't remember which, that are new and included.
All bodywork and paint was done by me in a professional bodyshop where I work. The car was completely stripped down to the bare steel and primed with an epoxy primer. The paint is BASF's UNO, which is a very high quality single stage (About $800 for the gallon of Red paint, not counting the primers, and the hardeners and reducers for all of it). The dash, and all interior metal parts are painted black base coat/clear coat with BASF's R-M paint. (Same paint Chip Foose uses, not to say I'm any bit as good as he is, just so you know it's good quality paint in case you haven't heard of it before). There is no body-mods, all emblem holes are still present. The only change I had made is cut the hole in the dash larger for an aftermarket stereo(Standard size), and filled in the hole on the top of the dash that was for the single speaker and the slotted holes used for mounting a dash pad. The defroster openings are still there to be functional. I smoothed out the top of the dash and is painted with a flattened clear coat. I used a flattened clear so there won't be so much glare from the sun as it hits the dash through the window. The lower section of the dash is still gloss black like the rest of the interior. All of the parts were painted separately off of the car as you can see in photos.
Paint code is Ford: E4 "Vermilion Red" Does NOT look orange in the sun.
I have a lot of photos showing progress of the car, more than I care to post on this eBay ad. I can eMail additional photos to anyone serious about purchasing this car.
This car is obviously not completely assembled. However I have all the original usable parts to complete it. Most still need some reconditioning (ie. Bumpers and seats), but all of the hard work is done to the car. I have a lot of spare parts that go with the car. So if you have the car shipped on a car hauler third party, you will still need to come by or arrange for someone to pick up all of the parts that go with it. I do not have the time to pack all the little and large parts separately. Everything should fit in a small uhaul trailer or a pickup bed.
Here are just a few thing that still need to be done:
Upholstery, including headliner, carpet, door panels and seats. I have the original door panels, misc trim parts and rear seat. The front seats are high back seats out of a late 70's era Camaro. I do not have the original seats, they were MIA when I purchased the car.
Weatherstripping (I have a new set of belt-line moldings, which is the set that goes in the door on either side of the glass)
Glass all needs to be installed. (There is no windshield, I will have my glass guy come by and install one once auction successfully ends and I receive a deposit.) All other glass is original and in good condition.
Exhaust system
Wiring and gauges(I have all the original wiring and a couple sets of original gauges)
Everything under the dash needs installed. (ie. wiring, heater, defroster, glove box innards etc..)
Bumpers re-chromed
Grille and headlight buckets
Fuel line and brake lines ran to the rear of car and gas tank installed.
Drive-shaft cut to fit and installed
Pretty wheels and tires (your personal preference,I won't make you pay for wheels that I like and that you might not, everyone has their own personal tastes there, so it comes with ugly stock ones to roll around on)
Tie rods changed out (I have one new pair, as mentioned above)
Clutch linkage connected
Misc odds and ends like door handles, gas filler neck, emblems etc....
The door latches are installed and work from the inside or from a rod through the hole on the outside where the handle goes. All panels and gaps are adjusted and open and close with ease as they should.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.

What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.
