This is a 1960 Falcon that I bought about 5 years ago. it did come out of a dirt floor garage where it had been sitting 20+ years. When I bought the car it was just a body with what was left of the button tucked interior that was done in the mid 70s. After I got the car home and looked at it a while I decided it needed an axle under the front. The out side has been left alone, just like I pulled it out of the garage. It has Dents, Rust, Bondo cracking and Faded paint. this will never be a show car if that is what your looking for. I had a friends help with this car, it has been completely apart. We started with an Econoline front axle, narrowed it to fit the falcon. New king pins, brakes including drums, wheel cylinders and bearings. The steering links are all new with heim ends. Front springs re-arched with new bushings. The stock steering box has some play, should be replaced, I may have one located. The floors had to have a few patch panels, we installed sub-frame connectors, then cleaned, PORed and undercoated them. The rear end is a 9" from a 70 Torino with 31 spline axles, 4:11 gears and a full spool, also all new brakes. We also made the custom 6 foot long ladder bars. There is a 12 Gallon Fuel cell with a Mallory fuel pump, filter and regulator. The engine is a stock bore short block from a 91 GT mustang with new rings, bearings, oil pump, Comp Cams double roller chain, Ford Motorsport B303 cam and hydraulic roller lifters, Edelbrock Performer heads that take the o-ringed head gaskets, Offenhauser tunnel ram intake with 2 450 Holleys and vintage MR Gasket velocity stacks. Steel fly wheel, blow proof belhousing and a close ratio toploader 4 speed with a Hurst Super Shifter, also custom drive shaft with new spicer u-joints. Everything under this car is new or rebuilt with less than 1000 miles, except the steering box. The wheels are vintage Rocket steel slots, the fronts are 3 1/2" X 15 with 30+ year old bias ply tires, the rear are 8" X 15 with Mickey Thompson Indy Profile G-60X15. If you looked very hard at the engine compartment you see the engine has been moved back 6 1/2" and the custom urethane motor mounts. The headers, I built them, it took a new set of Hooker headers and 2 boxes of assorted bends to get the look I wanted plus a lot of hours. Then there is the tilt front end, also a lot of hours, pull a pin, slide it forward, one person can tilt it. Optima battery, aluminum radiator, car runs 180 degree all day long. Carbs could stand to be tuned on, I have driven this car on several 75 mile round trips, it's a hand full to drive and does NOT like the expressways, remember 4;11 gears. I hate to be long winded, just trying to describe things the way they are. I have way more time and money than I will ever get back out of this, I do not have to sell it, the money would just go towards one of many other projects I have. You are bidding on a car with NO Warranty, I expect a $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of auction end, the rest in green money at time of pick up. If you are having the car picked up, YOU are responsible for ALL arrangements. If you have 10 or less feedback, e-mail me before bidding. If you have ANY questions, please ask before the last day of the auction. Thanks

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
