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.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.

2015 Ford Focus

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
