This Falcon was restored in the mid-eighties and was used as a show car for local car shows and annual national FCA events (in which it won trophies in stock class) without so much as a hiccup. When I bought the vehicle it had a pretty severe rear main seal leak after driving it from sitting with no use for a couple years when the previous owner could no longer drive it. The 144CID engine seemed tired so I replaced it with a good, extremely low mileage (appx. 5,000 mile) 170CID mill from my other Falcon. I went through the entire car to make sure it was in good tune and drove nicely. I installed an alternator in place of the generator, replaced the radiator, rear shocks, hoses, belts, carburetor, distributor, choke cable, worn column shift mechanism, repainted the steering wheel, and I'm sure I'm forgetting other bits and pieces I went through. It is very pleasant to drive. It starts, stops, rides, and steers as it should. *Be aware this is a manual three speed column shift, meaning the first gear in the transmission is not synchronized if you did not already now that.* It however, is not a perfect car. It is a driver, not a trailer queen. I'd give it a 6.5-7 out of 10 overall visually, and a 9 out of 10 mechnically with 1 being worst and 10 being best. It has an OK paint job, pretty nice trim, bumpers, and a very nice interior. The car needs the underside gone through if you want it 100% perfect. The front floor pans had an older repair job/patch done to them that is solid, but not correct. The rearmost part of the framerails were replaced with new metal. The torque boxes are getting scaly/rusted but aren't gone by any means. It has some very small filler/rust popping here and there in front of and behind the quarters. Just old bodywork and paint showing it's age. The quarters were replaced from the door opening back when it was restored. The car is very solid and can and is driven the way it is. The casual observer wouldn't notice the exterior flaws, and highly I doubt would notice the underbody issues. The underside of this Falcon is pretty good, don't get me wrong, I'm just picky and making sure I describe it as best and truthfully as I can. It is NOT a rust bucket, nor is it perfect. Just a nice looking, reliable, economical way to get into classic cars or just a nice car to take to shows or cruise around town in. If you would like any additional information or pictures, please don't hesitate to ask. I will gladly answer questions or take more specific photos if they are requested.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
