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.

Any questions feel free to send an eMail, if you wish to speak directly please include your phone number and a time to reach you.  Thank you for looking.

Second part of Forza Horizon 3 car list revealed early

Tue, Jul 26 2016

We previously brought you the first portion of Forza Horizon 3's list of 350 cars last week, and today we're bringing you part two. Apparently Fairfax Media in Australia had the list and images early and published them on The Sydney Morning Herald's website . We say early because the publication's story reveals that Playground Games, the developer of the game, plans to make the official announcement on the Forza website this Wednesday. This set of virtual machinery brings us closer to the full list, which will continue to be revealed over the coming weeks. While this part is smaller than the first one, it still features a number of notable automobiles, including the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, GMC Syclone and Ferrari Dino 246 GT. This list also adds more vintage Aussie machines, including the very cool 1974 Holden "Sandman" HQ panel truck. Fans of the Mad Max movies may remember Max's Sandman truck from the original film. Check out the list of new cars from The Sydney Morning Herald below and take at look their article for new images and insight on what the developers' goals were for the game. 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione 1970 AMC Rebel "The Machine" 1998 Aston Martin V8 Vantage V600 2011 Audi RS 5 Coupe 2011 BMW X5 M 1981 BMW M1 1992 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport 1970 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 1966 Chevrolet Nova Super Sport 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR 1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT 1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 2011 Ferrari FF 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra 1956 Ford F-100 1991 GMC Syclone 2016 Holden Special Vehicles GTS Maloo 1951 Holden 50-2106 FX Ute 1974 Holden Sandman HQ panel van 2012 Infiniti IPL G Coupe 2015 Jaguar XFR-S 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV 2014 Lamborghini Urus 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged 2005 Lotus Elise 111S 2013 Mazda MX-5 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II 2013 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR 2000 Nissan Silvia Spec-R 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2010 Renault Megane RS 250 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Related Video: News Source: The Sydney Morning HeraldImage Credit: Playground Games/Microsoft Auto News Bugatti Ford GMC Holden Technology video games forza motorsport forza horizon 3

Ford Mondeo Hybrid could beat unloved diesels in Europe

Wed, Feb 11 2015

Predicting changes in the European auto market isn't easy, and Ford is hedging its bets there with the introduction of the Mondeo Hybrid. The Blue Oval has no expectation of the electrified version of the sedan being a rollicking sales success, but the model is a fuel-efficient alternative in case the recent backlash against diesel turns into an outright ban somewhere. This is the first time Ford is selling a hybrid version of the Mondeo (a cousin to the Fusion in the US) in Europe. The vehicle pairs a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder with a 1.4-kWh battery pack to make a total of 185 horsepower and emit 99 grams per kilometer of CO2. The Blue Oval expects to sell around 100,000 units of all versions of the sedan annually there, according to Automotive News Europe. However, fewer than 5,000 of those are predicted to be the gas-electric model. "Legislation around Europe is so different it's very difficult to predict," Roelant de Waard, Ford of Europe sales boss, said to ANE. "If you're betting only on one horse you might be lucky, but you also may be very unlucky." Ford is probably smart to have alternatives ready, and it also already offers the Focus Electric and hybrid C-Max there. Governments in Europe are rapidly turning against diesel, especially in France. The country considered offering buyers 10,000 euros ($11,300) if they trade in an old oil-burner on a new electric vehicle, and the prime minister calls backing the fuel for so long a mistake. The UK's Labour Party is making similar declarations.

Editors’ Picks October 2022 | Electric trucks and some excellent SUVs

Wed, Nov 2 2022

This month sees a bevy of totally new or totally redesigned cars gain Editors’ Pick status. Important EVs like the F-150 Lightning and GMC Hummer EV quickly jump into the list, and they do so with authority, as all our editors love these trucks. The Range Rover is always a superb experience, and this generation proves to be no different. Plus, the new generation of Kia Sportage continues to surprise and impress. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in October that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 GMC Hummer EV The Four-Wheel-Steer system lets the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup m View 17 Photos Quick take: The Hummer amazes as an electric supertruck with its wild acceleration, incredible off-road capability, luxuriousness and epic utility. It's far from a "green" eco-friendly vehicle, but that's not the point of this technological powerhouse. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Raptor R, Ram 1500 TRX Pros: Stupid quick, tons of tech, off-road capability in spades Cons: Not efficient, annoying in tight spaces, price From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I don't think I've driven a more ridiculous vehicle this year, but that's sort of the point with the Hummer. There's a great argument against this sort of EV in that it doesn't live up to being an efficient and planet-friendly vehicle, but hey, that's not the point. The Hummer EV is a supertruck and wild technological masterpiece for off-roading in the same way that a mid-engine supercar is to track performance. It's not meant to be the EV everybody drives to work and back (mostly because few can afford it), but it serves as a line in the sand of what can be done with electric off-road trucks. This pickup rules, and if you can afford one, you're going to love it." Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder — "This Hummer revival is a showcase of technology and capability on the part of GM, making it an absolute blast to drive and a joy to use.
