Up for auction is my 1964 Ford Falcon Futura.  I have owned this car for about five years.  I originally bought the car as an I6 automatic and, over the course of about a year, converted it to a 302 V8 5 Speed.  

This car runs and drives great.  The transmission shifts very smoothly and the engine generates great power.  It's got a custom exhaust which is not too loud but will get your attention when you get on the motor.  With the front disc brakes and larger drums the car stops very well.  The car always runs at 180 to 185 degrees; never had any kind of cooling issues.  The car has been "adult" owned; no racing nor has it been driven hard.

The following is a list of modifications I've made to the car since I've owned it:
  • 302 of a 78 Ford Granada.  Heads were rebuilt to accomodate a different cam
  • Comp Cams 278H cam
  • Double roller chain / timing gears
  • High volume oil pump
  • HEI Distributor w/Ford Racing Wires
  • Edelbrock 1406 carburetor (600 cfm) w/electric choke
  • Weiand dual plane aluminum intake manifold
  • Ford Racing aluminum water pump
  • Hedman Headers
  • Aluminum Radiator (180 degree thermo)
  • World Class T5 transmission from a "fox body" Mustang (5 Speed)
  • Ford Racing clutch, flywheel pressure plate
  • Hurst stick shift
  • 8" Maverick Rear End (3.00 gears); rear end housing was powder coated black
  • Ford Grandard front disc brakes; new front hoses
  • New dual master cylinder
  • 2.5" Exhaust w/Magnaflow Mufflers
  • Auto Meter gauges (tachometer, voltage, oil pressure, temperature)
  • New engine bay wiring harness
  • Newer Interstate battery
  • V8 steering conversion done (pitman arm, idler arm, center link, upper and lower control arms); larger diameter sway bar
  • New suspension (front and rear springs, tie rods, etc).
  • New driveshaft
  • Rear air shocks with external fill
  • Floor pans coated in POR-15 and Dynamat
  • Newer tires with a lot of tread
  • New interior front / rear panels, new carpet
  • Rear trunk mat and fresh trunk seal
  • All windows and chrome are on the car.  The chrome is original, looks very nice, but is not show quality. 
The following items are included in the auction but not installed on the car:
  • California Car Cover
  • Door seal rubber (enough for both doors)
  • Interior edging trim (e.g. trim which goes around the door openings)
The car is in good condition but there are some issues which I will note here:
  • The original color of the car was Wimbeldon white.  A previous owner painted it the color it is now which is a brighter white.  I would say the paint is a 5 out of 10.  It is presentable but nowhere near show quality
  • The speedometer and odometer are not connected.  The T5 housing is for an electronic speed
  • There is a small oil leak from the rear of the pan
  • There is a small leak from the rear end
  • The front windshield has a faint scratch from the passenger side wiper.  There is also a small divet in the windshield at the bottom of the passenger side
  • The horn does not work
  • The blinker switch does not have a "reset" (e.g. when you turn the wheel the blinker will not go off - you need to move the stick back)
  • There is a slight bend in the rear bumper from a previous owner.  
  • The letter "A" is missing from the rear deck.  I refused to buy a Chinese made letter and was not able to find an OEM one to replace it.
  • There is a slight crease in the lower rear fender on the driver's side (you can see that in the pictures)
  • Driver's side door plunger needs to be reconnected; does not affect the operation of the lock
  • Small rip in the carpet on the passenger's side floor (about two inches)
For the high bidder a deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction.  Payment must be received within 7 (seven days) of the end of the auction.  The winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements including carrier and cost.  

I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL AS A FORM OF PAYMENT.  I WILL ACCEPT CASH, MONEY ORDERS, CASHIERS CHECKS AND WIRE TRANSFERS.  ALL FUNDS MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS SHIPPED.

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
