This is a 2 door 1960 Ford Falcon, I'm told the chrome trim around the windows and gutter rail make this a "Futura" model.
This car is 90% rust free, there are only two spots that should need attention. The drivers side floor board and above the drivers side rear wheel, both are not big fixes.
The drivetrain consists of a 1969 200 inline 6 that was rebuilt by central cylinder 3-4 years ago. A year ago it was fitted with a new Weber 32/36 two barrel carb. Behind it is a manual 5-speed T5 transmission out of a 1984 Mustang. The tranny shifts good, all the clutch parts are only a few months old. I have a list of all the parts that made up the swap. It has the factory falcon 4 lug axle and front end. The brakes are all good, replaced under a year ago. 2" exhaust with a flowmaster 40 series muffler and a true "throttle body" exhaust cutout.
The interior is in immaculate condition, the seats were redone 3-4 years ago. The car has a "Retrosound" digital radio, with 4 speakers, 12" sub and an amp. The sound quality is very nice for what it is. Its not too loud outside the car either. The speedo reads high, like if you're going 60, it says 95. I have done some rough calculating and I figured the mileage to be about 60000.
It could use paint if you're feeling adventurous. As of now, the paint and Scallops are done with rustoleum. The roof however is painted very nicely with gold/rainbow metal flake. It looks amazing in the sunlight!
This car has been an amazing daily driver. At roughly 30 miles per gallon HWY and 18 in town, its great for economy driving! I've driven this car almost every day for the past year, it has never left me stranded.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?
Thu, Jun 23 2016The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."
