Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Ford
Drive Type: Rear
Model: Falcon
Trim: 2 dr. sedan
Mileage: 999,999
Up for your consideration is my 62 Ford Falcon Pro Street Project. I got the car from my in-laws with plans to finish it out, but I have other projects I would like to get to so this one needs to go. It has a Pro built (18K in receipts) chassis which consists of square tubing from the front that joins to round tubing at the firewall. Roll cage is swept at the doors for easy in access. Also has really nice sheetmetal work as well. It is set up for a small block Chevrolet and 400 turbo. It has a 9 in Ford in the rear and a 3-link rear with coilovers at all 4 corners. Mustang 2 front end with manual steering. Also has disc brakes all the way around.
New Parts:
Glastek 4" cowl hood and front and rear bumpers
Flaming river steering column
Master cylinder with custom brake pedal
Steel fuel cell with GM sending unit
Battery box
31 spline Strange axles
Coil over shock front end mustang kit and all rear suspension is new
Weld Pro Star wheels and Mickey Thompson street tires. Skinnies out front and 29x15.5x15 in the rear
Used:
Good used trunk with no rust (one dent)
Good front fenders with a little surface rust, no "rot through"
Grill and headlight rings
Several sets of front and rear window moldings
Radio delete plate
Right and left doors that need minimal body work
I am sure there are some things I am forgetting. The car has had rear quarters installed and the only other rust aside from just light surface rust from sitting in my garage is a little at the upper firewall under the top of the front fenders. The car is set up really nice and I am taking a major hit at my reserve price. I have around 25K in the car like it sits and all the work up to this point is very nicely done. Dave Hunt Racecraft here in Virginia did all the work on the chassis and frame. The front bench seat was also shortened to fit inside the door bars. I do not have any of the glass other than the glass that is in the used doors and I have not checked their condition. This is a great start to a nice Falcon and I am sure the buyer would be very happy to own it. I just don't have the time to finish everything I have going on right now. Any questions at all please ask them and I would prefer the buyer come take a look at the car to see what they are getting. Thanks for looking. Clear title on the car as well.

Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
After Years Of Delays, Rear Visibility Requirements Move Closer To Reality
Fri, Jan 3 2014Regulations that would require automakers to improve rear-view visibility on all new cars and light trucks are nearing completion after six years of delays. The U.S. Department of Transportation sent its proposed rear-visibility rules to the Obama administration for review on Christmas Day. The White House Office of Management and Budget now must finalize the regulations. The rule are intended to minimize the risk of pedestrian deaths from vehicles in reverse, a type of accident that disproportionately affects children. Already in 2014, two children have died from cars backing over them, driven in each case by the children's father. Specifics of the Transportation Department's proposal are not available during the review, but the rules are expected to compel automakers to install rear-view cameras as mandatory equipment on all new vehicles. That's what safety advocates have wanted all along. Thought they were pleased the proposed ruling had finally been issued, there was some worry Friday the final rules would omit the rear-view camera mandate. "We're encouraged, but we're also a little concerned about speculation the rear-view camera may not be in there," said Janette Fennell, the president and founder of Kids and Cars, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children in and around vehicles. "I'm wondering where that might be coming from." On Thursday, The Automotive News had reported the possibility the new standards could offer an alternative to rear-view cameras, such as redesigned mirrors, that improved visibility. The Office of Management and Budget typically completes its reviews of new rules in 90 days, although that can be extended. OMB officials said Friday they do not comment on pending rules. The intent of the rules is to enhance rear visibility for drivers and prevent pedestrian deaths. Approximately 200 pedestrians are backed over in the United States each year, according to estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Accidents Mostly Affect Children Roughly half the victims are children younger than age five. A government analysis concluded approximately half the victims -– 95 to 112 -– could be saved with new regulations. Yet the rules have arrived at a glacial pace. President George W. Bush signed legislation that had been passed with bipartisan Congressional support in 2008. But automakers have fought the idea of adding rear-view cameras, saying it is too expensive.
National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.
