1963 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible
Original V8/4spd Manual Trans. Black Plate Car

I am pleased to offer this relatively low mileage 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible. Original V8 4spd. Manual Trans. A rather uncommon vehicle (only 4600 made in '63), this Sprint has a long history in the San Francisco Bay Area and has no major issues other than having being rehabilitated from a 20 year slumber. This Falcon was purchased from the original owner, and due to a shift in priorities, it is now available to the market. As a life-long West Coast car from a dry climate, it is as original, straight, and as solid as they come, without accidents. All sheet metal is original and straight, having excellent panel fit/gaps throughout. Sporting blue paint, it appears it had one repaint over the original for cosmetic purposes only. This car is exceptionally original and damage free showing only minimal wear. The car runs and drives well. The interior has not been abused with a few rips, and the top will need to be replaced. The engine bay is clean and correct. The car has been lightly driven since I've owned it and all systems are working properly. It is sold with a clear California title. Offered at a very fair reserve.

Mechanicals:
This car has very good mechanicals since all major components are in correct working order. The original 260 cu. in. 2V engine starts very easily, runs quietly and smoothly. It does not smoke and has good compression. The original 4spd. gearbox is quiet in all gears and shifts smoothly. The car is very smooth at speed. The car responds quickly and accurately to all driver inputs. The brake system is in good order and the car stops well. The carb does not appear to be original.

Body, Paint, and Chrome:
This car has received a complete repaint in blue years ago for cosmetic purposes; it appears to be a shade off the original Midnight Blue. The paint is in decent shape and shows minimal wear; a few small chips here and there, and light scale from sitting under a car cover in a carport. The car has excellent eye appeal and always attracts admirers. It is extremely original. This Falcon has never had any serious panel damage or chassis damage, nor rust. Since the car has not had any adverse history and has such good body panels, the panel fit is excellent. The floors, torque boxes, rockers and quarter panels are rust free other than slight discoloration from air. The chrome shows age, has minor pitting, and is in decent condition. All lenses are present and in good vintage condition. The windshield and glass are great.

Interior:
The entire interior is original and correct. All gauges are functional and working correctly. The dash mounted tachometer is not present and did not come with the car. It is the only piece missing. The bucket seats show some age commiserate with use and have very rips. The carpet is old but not ratty. The top will need to be replaced as it has rips but it is complete and has not been abused.

Wheels and Tires:
The original matched set of steel wheels are clean and straight. All hubcaps are original and in very good shape. The car exhibits no shimmy or shake at speed. The Goodyear thin white wall tires are old and hold air but should be replaced.

Summaration:
This Falcon Sprint Convertible is a great little driver and pretty rare. It is extremely original and an honest car showing only wear from years of sitting under a car cover in a carport. It has only cosmetic issues and is a survivor. It runs like a top and is very smooth and strong in all aspects. This particular car has a consistent fit and finish throughout and will maintain it's quality for years to come.

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.

California Man Reunited 33 Years Later With Thunderbird

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
