This is a 1960 Falcon that I bought about 5 years ago. it did come out of a dirt floor garage where it had been sitting 20+ years. When I bought the car it was just a body with what was left of the button tucked interior that was done in the mid 70s. After I got the car home and looked at it a while I decided it needed an axle under the front. The out side has been left alone, just like I pulled it out of the garage. It has Dents, Rust, Bondo cracking and Faded paint. this will never be a show car if that is what your looking for. I had a friends help with this car, it has been completely apart. We started with an Econoline front axle, narrowed it to fit the falcon. New king pins, brakes including drums, wheel cylinders and bearings. The steering links are all new with heim ends. Front springs re-arched with new bushings. The stock steering box has some play, should be replaced, I may have one located. The floors had to have a few patch panels, we installed sub-frame connectors, then cleaned, PORed and undercoated them. The rear end is a 9" from a 70 Torino with 31 spline axles, 4:11 gears and a full spool, also all new brakes. We also made the custom 6 foot long ladder bars. There is a 12 Gallon Fuel cell with a Mallory fuel pump, filter and regulator. The engine is a stock bore short block from a 91 GT mustang with new rings, bearings, oil pump, Comp Cams double roller chain, Ford Motorsport B303 cam and hydraulic roller lifters, Edelbrock Performer heads that take the o-ringed head gaskets, Offenhauser tunnel ram intake with 2 450 Holleys and vintage MR Gasket velocity stacks. Steel fly wheel, blow proof belhousing and a close ratio toploader 4 speed with a Hurst Super Shifter, also custom drive shaft with new spicer u-joints. Everything under this car is new or rebuilt with less than 1000 miles, except the steering box. The wheels are vintage Rocket steel slots, the fronts are 3 1/2" X 15 with 30+ year old bias ply tires, the rear are 8" X 15 with Mickey Thompson Indy Profile G-60X15. If you looked very hard at the engine compartment you see the engine has been moved back 6 1/2" and the custom urethane motor mounts. The headers, I built them, it took a new set of Hooker headers and 2 boxes of assorted bends to get the look I wanted plus a lot of hours. Then there is the tilt front end, also a lot of hours, pull a pin, slide it forward, one person can tilt it. Optima battery, aluminum radiator, car runs 180 degree all day long. Carbs could stand to be tuned on, I have driven this car on several 75 mile round trips, it's a hand full to drive and does NOT like the expressways, remember 4;11 gears. I hate to be long winded, just trying to describe things the way they are. I have way more time and money than I will ever get back out of this, I do not have to sell it, the money would just go towards one of many other projects I have. You are bidding on a car with NO Warranty, I expect a $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of auction end, the rest in green money at time of pick up. If you are having the car picked up, YOU are responsible for ALL arrangements. If you have 10 or less feedback, e-mail me before bidding. If you have ANY questions, please ask before the last day of the auction. Thanks

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
