This is a 1962 Ford Falcon. The floor boards, quarters, doors, trunk  all show no signs of rust holes or patching. The paint is driver quality with some dings and scratches. The paint is 7 years old, it shows its age but looks good for a driver.  It is base coat clear and is very shiny. The hood, doors and trunk all line up and shut properly. The wheel well lips have been flattened to accommodate the Ford 8” rear and the wider tires but they are solid and not cut just flattened.

The frame rails have been tied together for a higher horsepower engine

The glass is tinted and all in good condition. The interior was completely redone and is in good condition. It is dark leather ostrich print with plain leather gray outer covering. The headliner and door panels all match.

Engine is a rebuilt 1971 Ford 351 Windsor bored .030 with a mild cam. Stock heads and an aluminum intake, 650 HOLLEY carb. Engine was never dinoed.  I would guess about 350 to 375 HP. This is a nice driver motor not too much power. Cam sounds great and good on gas. Car runs cool with a 1971 Mustang radiator. Motor, trans and rear do not drip oil.

Transmission is a C4 auto with a 2000 stall. HURST Quarter stick shifter. Rear end is a ford 8” traction lock with 279 gear for highway driving. We did have a 355 gear in it and it was kind of low for highway traveling.

All lights, turn signals, gas guage, window winds work. Brakes are next to new.

The following is a list of what does not work

SPEEDOMETER- No cable attached C4 & falcon don’t match up.

RADIO- This was a radio delete car. No antenna hole and radio not wired

EMERGENCY BRAKE- Cable from lever to first connection is missing. But the cable from there to the drums is there and works

HEATER- The core is missing but the blower motor works on high and low. It just need the core put in.

I tried to the best of my ability to describe this car accurately. It is a nice street rod, driver quality driver ready.

If you come to pick the car up and you feel that I misrepresented the car,  YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE IT!

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.

Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
