For sale is a 1967 Ford Falcon Futura Wagon with a 289 V8. The car has A CLEAR NORTH CAROLINA TITLE in my name. It has 158,700 miles on it and it does run and does drive. It is optioned from the factory with the 289 V8, Automatic Transmission, 3.00:1 Rear Gear Ratio, Air Conditioning, Power Assist Ram Steering, Power Brakes, Power Rear Window, Luggage Rack, Front Sway Bar, Towing Package Rear Suspension, Day/Night Mirror, and AM Radio. The car is a highly optioned car within a low production run 1 of Approx. 4500 made so it would be a good candidate for an as is fixer upper driver, a full restoration, or a resto-mod car. 



Please read on for more specifics of the car:

 


Body/Paint: The body is in fair condition with minimal rot with some surface rust all as pictured.-Specifically the lower portion of the tailgate, in front of the rear tire area above the outer rocker panels near the back doors, under the tail light, and some other small attention areas. The front and rear floors are solid and the big trunk floor is 98% with only a couple small pin holes in the rear corner about a foot towards the middle, and a foot forward from the back tailgate.(probably due to moisture sitting under the rear trunk rubber floor mat). The paint is original and it maintains its copper color, the wheels are black with painted silver dog dish hubcaps.  

Interior: The interior is original to the car and showing some wear. The headliner should be replaced as well as the carpet and dash pad. The original bench seats are in good condition with the only blemish being on the drivers seat bottom as pictured. The original rubber trunk mat is also still in the car. The door windows all roll up and down as they should. 

Electrical: The wiring harness and original wiring are present and work. All of the gauges except for the fuel gauge work, all of the exterior lights work as well. The blower for the AC or heater does not turn on. The AM radio does turn on and work but would need a new dash speaker. I had the power rear window motor disassembled, fixed and reinstalled so the window went up and down, but it just stopped in the full up(closed) position, not sure why now.

Running Gear:Original 289 V8 engine that runs. It was tuned up with new plugs, cap, and rotor also an oil change with valvoline oil and a motorcraft filter. A new Duralast Lifetime starter and fan belts were installed as well. A new fuel filter was installed as well as a mild carburetor freshen performed. The engine still retains a miss that should go away with driving it. I would go through engine and re-gasket it to make it 100% and reliable. The AC needs to be recharged. The heater core is bypassed. The radiator does have a decent leak and should be replaced. However the transmission was rebuilt by the previous owner and shifts properly. The rear end is a 9" and has a 3.00 gear.

 

Steering/Suspension: The power assist steering ram leaks and needs to be rebuilt. The steering components are original and have been greased where greasable. The suspension is stock and original with the optional towing package rear leaf springs and front sway bar.   

 

Brakes: Optional power front and rear drum brakes with booster working properly. The brakes have been gone through with 4 wheel cylinders, hoses, and the master cylinder being replaced. I had new bearings and inner wheel seals installed in the front hubs while the brakes were being serviced.


Glass:  All of the glass is original and not cracked.   

 

Bright work:  All of the correct original brightwork is on the car.


Exhaust:  Currently has old duel dumps exiting under the car, but needs a full exhaust system put on.

 

Wheels/Tires:  The wheels are 14" steelies with dog dish hub caps, with 4 decent tires.


Summary: The car is not the best I've seen, but by far not the worst. Keep in mind I have driven this car through all 3 gears up to 60 mph, and it was not just once or twice, so it does work under its own power. With its rarity and high options, clear title, running condition, and its ability to drive and stop, it makes it all worth the while. It is a cool car and I have not seen another one in person to date.

Disclaimer:  The car is for sale locally.  The owner has the right to cancel the auction at any time for any reason.  No warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied with the car being sold in "AS IS" condition.

If you have any questions about the car at all, please feel free to ask and I will post them to the eBay page for everyone to see.

Thank you for your time and interest. Happy Bidding!

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.
