Many more pics avail on request. I have stripped, bagged and tagged most of the car. Was running and driving a year ago. This is a super rare Canadian Falcon variant. I have ALL of the impossible to find trim items: Maple leaf emblems, hubcaps, front fender side trim, propeller styled grill, trunk lid, hood and decklid emblems, horn ring emblem, and unique air filter unit, etc. Additionally, I have a super rare Australian Hood Bird for the car, NOS front fender guides w. clear tips, a NOS set of rear fender spears (6 total), a prof, rebuilt pushbutton radio, repop fender skirts, full set or repop full rear 1/4s, manuals, and a few hundred $$ in other repop bits. Glass is all good. The bad? Front fenders, 1/4s and front floors. DS fender is to be replaced. PS has a patch. Floors need repop units - which are avail. and inexpensive. I am including full repop 1/4s in the sale - a $750 value! All parts except trim are same as falcon - and Falcons, like Model Ts, have tons of repop stuff avail at low cost. This is one of six known Frontenac 2dr to have survived, according to the experts. Original color was dark metallic blue w. aqua blue interior and two tone blue upholstery. These cars are cute as can be restored, and sought out for ProStreeting. I have advertised the car for sale or trade on kijiji Ontario and elsewhere. See kijiji.ca Ontario ad # 1003527776 Mileage referenced is a guess - I forget actual mileage. |

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter
Tue, 29 Jan 2013Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.
