Up for sale is a 1965 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible.  I recently bought this car and have done absolutely nothing to it except vacuum out the debris in the floor and trunk  I honestly don't know much about the car but I'm going to describe it as best as I can.  This is a solid foundation to start with compared to most in this price range.  Pictures were taken after I rinsed the dust off the car so there is some water spots on the concrete.

SBF V8 engine with a C4 automatic transmission. I have not looked for the engine block date code to verify year and if its the 289 or 302 but can if you like.
Stock manifolds with single exhaust which needs to be replaced.
Very clean and straight body black primer.   
Solid fenders, doors, rockers, quarters, hood and trunk lid.
Solid trunk pan and floors.  Small amounts of rust here and there but nothing major that I can tell.
All the glass is there but front windshield has a crack.
No bumpers

17" Bullit wheels 
The tires are 245/45/17.
Gas tank, sending unit, convertible top and pump have been replaced recently.

Based off the data plate:

Model Series = Convertible
Engine = 289 Cu. In. V-8 (2V) 
Exterior Color = Vintage Burgundy
Upholstery Color = Black Sierra Vinyl
Date Born = 08 April 1964
Transmission = Dual Range Automatic - (C-4)
Axle = 2.80:1
DSO = Louisville
Assembly Plant = Lorain


 The car starts, runs and shifts into gear.. I drove it around the block just to make sure. Looks to have fairly new plugs, wires, cap, and the coil is aftermarket.  The interior is just the seats, no carper or door panels but the rear panels are still installed. The glove box is in tact. The lights checked out and all are working.  The trunk latch is worn out and needs replacing $30. The generator has been upgraded to an altenator

.  This is an easy project car which you can restore as you drive it.  As I mentioned,  I have not driven the car much to really comment on how it runs but it does start and shift into gear as it should.  I just want to get what I paid for the car and would love to see it go to a good home.  Please ask as many questions as you'd like and also let me know if you need more pictures.  I can take pictures of whatever you need to see.  If the car does not sell I will just give up the idea of restoring a Hardtop car and work on this one.A non-refundable $500 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the vehicle being purchased.  The remaining balance is to be made via cash or a cashiers check. 

I do not accept wire transfers or personal checks. 

The car will be released to buyer and/or shipper once final payment has cleared at my bank.  The only exception to that is CASH in person.

 

I am willing to work with pick or shipping arrangements for those who are not close to my location.  However, you must contact me before you bid to confirm your plans with me so we are both on the same page. 

 

 

For those of you who are curious why I am selling this car it is due to the fact that I was originally searching for a hardtop. I stumbled across this thinking the convertible would be more interesting which it would but, I cant stop thinking about my vision on doing a hardtop version.  I do not want to work on this car and dump money into it and get to the end of the road and wish I had done a hardtop.  My theory on this is, list this car once here with no reserve at a reasonable price. If it sells I will go after a hardtop, if it doesn't sell then I will start working on this one anyway since its already a good platform.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
