Well my son has decided to sell his prize 65 Falcon. He has had it over 13 years and continually upgraded it over the years. Due to a growing new family the car has to go! It has a fresh built 351 Cleveland big block motor. Isky cam, edlebrock, etc. Also a freshly built FMX auto with a shift kit and Lokar shifter. Rear end was custom made for this car with 411 gears, disc brakes and posi-traction. (Currie Industries) The front end has a custom Mustang  II style set up with disc brakes, proportioning valve, etc. It will stop on a dime and give you a nickel change. The car has all been professionally built with certified shops. My son did it step by step as he could afford and ended up putting well over $15,000 into car, after purchasing a rust free car for a starter. Mechanically everything is done and done right. It is very dependable and fast. But since he spent so much on the car he has never abused it or raced it, although it is ready. It runs cool, does not smoke, and has no leaks, The sound of the car is awesome attracting attention at every stop light and in all the cruises they have attended. It has a custom roll bar set up and Volvo bucket seats. He does have the door panels, but hasn't installed as the plan was to paint it inside first. Windows all roll up and down correctly. New tires and wheels too! There are a lot of vendors that sell every part for these little Falcons. You can't find these rust free 2 door hardtops any more. Although not finished completely inside and the paint is about 8 years old the car is very presentable as is.
Vehicle is being sold as is and the shipping or pic up is the responsabilty of the buyer. I can help find shippers that service world wide. Also we could deliver, for expenses, if not too far from central Calif.
Please ask questions and let me know if you want any other pictures.
The same son also has a 65 Ranchero that will be available too. He hasn't had it as long. Both need to go to finance another baby and home upgrades.
Since the car has been at my house most of the time since 2000, I can answer questions. But at the time of sale you will be getting a clean title in my son's name. You can talk to him too. 805 462-9515

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall

Ford recalls nearly 200,000 Expeditions and Navigators for fire risk

Thu, Sep 1 2022

Ford is recalling 2015-2017 Expeditions and 2015-2017 Lincoln Navigators because the front blower motor could fail and cause a fire. In total, 198,482 Expeditions and Navigators will be recalled. In the official recall documents posted by NHTSA, Ford says that it “has not identified the cause of this condition.” However, Ford also says it is currently aware of 25 fire allegations related to the blower motors on these vehicles. Despite not strictly identifying the cause of blower motor fires, Ford put forth a theory in its fieldwork analysis of the issue.  “In June 2022, based on component analysis, Ford Engineering theorized that a mispositioned blower motor brush holder spring could cause an internal short or localized heating of the brush spring or holder. It is believed that when a fire initiates on the blower motor, it does so at the positive brush holder location. The variable blower controller would remain operational and there would be no signs of an overheated relay. Field data indicates that this concern typically occurs at a higher time in service, and on vehicles with higher mileage.” Since the blower motor is located on the passenger side interior behind the glovebox, the fires that start are interior fires. Ford isnÂ’t aware of any accidents related to this issue, but there is one claim of burnt hands and fingers as a result of a fire. According to Ford, warning signs of an impending fire or failed blower motor include an inoperative fan, burning smell and/or smoke from the instrument panel vents while the vehicle is on. To remedy this situation, Ford is recalling the affected SUVs and replacing the blower motor assembly with a revised part. The new part uses a blower motor assembly design utilized on other applications. If folks with these SUVs experience any symptoms of blower motor failure before the new part becomes available, Ford says they can take their vehicle to the dealer to have it replaced with a part of the same design. Once the redesigned part becomes available, the dealer will then swap it in. Owner notification letters are expected to begin on September 12 this year.
