1966 Ford Campwagon/Falcon Stretch Camper/Van. This is one of the nicest vehicles I have ever owned, and sadly I am selling it and saying goodbye to an old friend. This is, in my opinion, every bit as cool as a VW camper with more power and reliability! It was stripped and painted it's original color scheme by a fantastic body and paint guy who became seriously ill just as he finished the project. The body condition is clean and dry, and the paint is as close to a "10" as I have ever seen. It runs great, does not leak anywhere, has brand new tires with less than 100 miles on them, and the camper pop up mechanism is tight and leak proof, with nice windows and screens in the "upper deck.". The dinette folds into a double bed, and the seats can be flipped in any direction though facing each other with the table in the middle seems to be where it likes to stay. The front seats are perfect and original. Chrome is beautiful.

Driving it is a joy. The front end is tight, the suspension perfect and smooth, and it tracks straight down the road with only the occasional rattle from something in a cupboard! The brakes are all manual and work well. The transmission shifts perfectly and is very smooth. All fluids have been changed recently, and it's just received a new battery and starter. I have just put in a fuel sender and will hook it up this weekend. It has no radio but an antenna and hookup for easy installation.

It has:

2 burner propane stove

Sink with 4 gallon water tank

Icebox (block ice type) which lasts 3-4 days

Good cupboard space/Storage front and rear

Original hammocks (never used) that fit into holders up top and over front seats. (perfect for kids)

Spare tire brand new

It needs:

The dinette cushions should be reupholstered. *They are fine just a little frayed.

The handle on the emergency brake needs replacing.

It should get new curtains! I don't know a seamstress or I would have done it.

The dash was NOT painted when truck was stripped. To be perfect/it should be done.

I have set a reasonable reserve on this van. Please only bid if you are serious and have the funds available. Your bid is a contract and I expect you to honor it. No one with a 0 rating will be able to bid, so please...no fantasy stalkers or dreamers please! This is a beautiful and rare vehicle and it will give you years of trouble-free service with some regular care and maintenance.

More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.

Ford Claims Focus As World's Best-Selling Car For Second Year In A Row

Mon, Jan 27 2014

Ford Motor Co. has claimed its Focus sedan beat out the Toyota Corolla for the title of 'best-selling car in the world' for the second year in a row. The declaration was based on independent sales figures from January to September of 2013, according to USA Today. Last year, Ford used data from the analysis firm Polk to support its claim of having the best-selling car of 2012. Toyota objected, stating the Corolla sold more units. The numbers eventually showed that the Ford Focus was the best selling nameplate of the year, but may have been second to the Toyota sedan overall since multiple variations of the Corolla are sold under different nameplates around the world. Data from the analysis firm R.L. Polk found Focus registrations from January through September 2013 reached 856,587. Ford can thank booming car sales in China, where the automaker sold 303,481 units, for a sizable chunk of that number, which was a 16 percent increase over 2012. "Our success with Focus is the result of Ford's connection to our customers all over the world," said Jim Farley, an executive vice president at Ford. The Focus and Corolla both compete in the popular small sedan segment, along with other hot-selling cars like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze. These vehicles make a up a large portion of sales for their respective automakers, as they tend to hit a sweet spot for many consumers, coming with a starting sticker price under $20,000, solid fuel economy, plenty of cargo and passenger room and, lately, sharp exterior design and sportier driving dynamics.

Marchionne open to combination with Ford or GM

Fri, Mar 13 2015

At the depths of the auto industry implosion, there was widely reported talk that General Motors and Chrysler would be merged into a mighty import-beating behemoth. While such notions clearly never materialized, that doesn't mean the idea is dead. In fact, FCA boss Sergio Marchionne still welcomes the idea of a partnership with either GM or Ford. He responded positively to the idea, calling it "technically feasible," when asked about it at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Automotive News reports. "There's bantering that goes on all the time," Marchionne told AN, before quashing suspicions that a plan was in the works by adding that "nothing substantive" was going on. Our favorite black sweater enthusiast isn't quite as interested in the idea of teaming with a foreign manufacturer like PSA Peugeot Citroen, or in the rumored tie-up with Volkswagen, though. That is a shame, particularly in regards to Marchionne's shut down of a partnership with the French, although it isn't necessarily surprising – FCA already consists of eight automakers, and as Sergio told AN, there's really nothing at PSA that could help the company out. What are your thoughts? Is there an obvious project or segment that would benefit from an FCA partnership with Ford or GM? Have your say in Comments.
