I have for sale my 1968 Ford Falcon 4 door sedan PROJECT CAR. Please read the following description:

Mechanics: this Falcon is powered by an in-line six cylinder. Not sure if it’s a 200 or 250 cu in. Has a 3 speed manual transmission that has had the shifter moved from the column to the floor. The engine seems to run very smooth. Starts, idles and sounds good. Clutch works fine without slipping, but does occasionally have a throw-out bearing noise. Brakes work OK but should be gone thru. Parking brake works well. Has a new alternator. Has a universal ignition switch with “start button”. The shifter is finicky , takes some getting used to, but all forward and reverse gears work fine with no irregular noises. Has glasspack exhaust. No power steering or brakes

Body: Very solid and dry body. Has a few minor dents, but never wrecked. No rust (other than surface where paint is this) or rot. There is a small rust hole in floorboard on passenger side, and some surface rust (no hole) on driver side floorboard. (see pic) Previous owner removed trunk lock and installed remote cable in interior.

Suspension: Previous owner lowered front end(cutting springs). Car drives pretty good but have not driven any distance

Wheels and tires: Has original 4 lug 14” wheels with OK tires

Interior: is ROUGH. Rear seat original and present but needs redone. Front seats out of different car. In trunk are headliner bows, some door panels(to use as templates) and some interior trim pieces. There is no dash pad.

Glass: all glass is present. Windshield is not cracked, but has wiper scratches.

Electrical. All lights work.

Conclusion: This is a project car. It is solid and a good starting point for a fairly rare car. Being rare does not necessarily make it valuable, but you sure don’t see these very often. I have the clean clear title and the car is currently registered in Calif.

Ford Mondeo Hybrid could beat unloved diesels in Europe

Wed, Feb 11 2015

Predicting changes in the European auto market isn't easy, and Ford is hedging its bets there with the introduction of the Mondeo Hybrid. The Blue Oval has no expectation of the electrified version of the sedan being a rollicking sales success, but the model is a fuel-efficient alternative in case the recent backlash against diesel turns into an outright ban somewhere. This is the first time Ford is selling a hybrid version of the Mondeo (a cousin to the Fusion in the US) in Europe. The vehicle pairs a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder with a 1.4-kWh battery pack to make a total of 185 horsepower and emit 99 grams per kilometer of CO2. The Blue Oval expects to sell around 100,000 units of all versions of the sedan annually there, according to Automotive News Europe. However, fewer than 5,000 of those are predicted to be the gas-electric model. "Legislation around Europe is so different it's very difficult to predict," Roelant de Waard, Ford of Europe sales boss, said to ANE. "If you're betting only on one horse you might be lucky, but you also may be very unlucky." Ford is probably smart to have alternatives ready, and it also already offers the Focus Electric and hybrid C-Max there. Governments in Europe are rapidly turning against diesel, especially in France. The country considered offering buyers 10,000 euros ($11,300) if they trade in an old oil-burner on a new electric vehicle, and the prime minister calls backing the fuel for so long a mistake. The UK's Labour Party is making similar declarations.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
