Rare Ford Falcon Futura Sport, Daily Driver, Work Done on 2040-cars
Valley Village, California, United States
For sale is a ford falcon futura sport coupe 200ci L6 manual. Work done, daily driver, YouTube video below.
This is a rare car, less than 6,000 of the updated '69s were assembled (then sold in 1970). This is a daily driver and lives in garage. No rust, engine was rebuilt a bit over a year ago, seals, bearings, rings, points, plugs, etc all new, carb tuned and rebuilt, (rebuilt at 100k, currently at ~32k) by a couple shop guys, that makes me the 3rd owner. Has a modern radiator too, never overheats. Paint is in great condition considering its age, though there are a few chips that have a bit of surface rust, but very small, few small dents, original gaslite glass all around. Has new American Racing wheels, was originally an automatic but when rebuilt a new manual transmission was installed (4 on the floor). All electronics work. The interior is good, seats and headliner are great but the dash is pretty rough ($30 model specific cover on rockauto.com, or as easy as a handful of screws underneath and on top to change out with a new one). Sounds great, it's loud, starts immediately, serious head turner (you will be asked about it and asked for photographs so be prepared to look a bit conspicuous). You will not see another one of these around town, and nothing in this shape. This car will be worth pretty big $$ in the not-to-far future, so consider this an investment and daily driver 'project.' I'm moving cross-country for work and would like to keep this car with its Cali plates, so here is your opportunity. Excellent car to tune, the rear suspension can be raised to fit drag slicks, you can still buy the original gaslite carb trees to make this a 3 carb L6, or even just a rejet on the current carb and an open-air filter to give even greater oomph. http://youtu.be/57N-nlOsO-c Listen to the car here, sorry about the quality Message me for more photos Ask me anything and happy bidding |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood
Fri, Jan 30 2015Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards
Sat, 06 Jul 2013More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
