I have for sale my 1968 Ford Falcon 4 door sedan PROJECT CAR. Please read the following description:
Mechanics: this Falcon is powered by an in-line six cylinder. Not sure if it’s a 200 or 250 cu in. Has a 3 speed manual transmission that has had the shifter moved from the column to the floor. The engine seems to run very smooth. Starts, idles and sounds good. Clutch works fine without slipping, but does occasionally have a throw-out bearing noise. Brakes work OK but should be gone thru. Parking brake works well. Has a new alternator. Has a universal ignition switch with “start button”. The shifter is finicky , takes some getting used to, but all forward and reverse gears work fine with no irregular noises. Has glasspack exhaust. No power steering or brakes
Body: Very solid and dry body. Has a few minor dents, but never wrecked. No rust (other than surface where paint is this) or rot. There is a small rust hole in floorboard on passenger side, and some surface rust (no hole) on driver side floorboard. (see pic) Previous owner removed trunk lock and installed remote cable in interior.
Suspension: Previous owner lowered front end(cutting springs). Car drives pretty good but have not driven any distance Wheels and tires: Has original 4 lug 14” wheels with OK tires
Interior: is ROUGH. Rear seat original and present but needs redone. Front seats out of different car. In trunk are headliner bows, some door panels(to use as templates) and some interior trim pieces. There is no dash pad.
Glass: all glass is present. Windshield is not cracked, but has wiper scratches.
Electrical. All lights work. Conclusion: This is a project car. It is solid and a good starting point for a fairly rare car. Being rare does not necessarily make it valuable, but you sure don’t see these very often. I have the clean clear title and the car is currently registered in Calif. If you are seriously interested in my Falcon please feel free to email or give me a phone call with any questions you may have. You can reach me at 559-479-1636
Car is located in Clovis, California zip 93611 near Fresno

Car is sold as is- where is , any and all shipping costs are the responsibility of the new owner.
I am listing this car at no reserve with what I feel is a very reasonable starting bid. I want to sell this car. If you would like to make an offer, I would be willing to add a buy it now price. |

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
