1960 Ford Falcon Two Door Coupe on 2040-cars

Up for auction is a 1960 Ford Falcon two door coupe. It has the 144 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder motor with the manual 3 speed shift on the column. There is no rust on the body. The driver's side floor pan is rusted through in an area about 1"x4" at its lowest point. The previous owner patched it with so it does not leak. Other than surface rust on the bottom of the car, the only other area of rust is at the rear of the right rear wheelwell. Both of these areas can be seen on the photos below. There is no rust in the trunk or engine bay areas.
When I got the car both bumpers were painted dark green to match the wheels and interior trim. They were in good shape with no dents so I had them, as well as the grill, chromed within the past 45 days. All of the stainless trim around the windows and doors is in very good condition. All of the glass has the original "Ford" logos. The windshield does not have any cracks but is pitted from age. The rest of the glass is in very good condition. The pivot pins on both vent windows are broken but the windows will shut tightly. The door glass rattles in the frame as the window tracks are worn. The paint is good but not a high end paint job. The tires are brand new and have less than 100 miles on them. There is a spare wheel that does not have a tire mounted on it. There is no jack or lug wrench. The engine starts easily even on cold days. It has a manual choke and soon settles into an even idle. There are no hesitations or flat spots on acceleration. There are small oil drops and a small coolant drop under the car after it sits for awhile. The clutch works well with no grinding on upshifts or downshifts. First gear is not synchronized. The brakes have been recently bled and the pedal is hard when pumped. However, the first time you hit the brakes, there is some distance before the breaks work. Once it reaches that point, the car stops well and straight. The interior is in excellent shape with newly recovered seats, new door panels, new carpet and a new headliner. The gas gauge reads nearly 1/2 full all of the time and the temperature gauge did not move, although it was very cold the day I drove the car. The car has one set of keys, an ignition key and a key for the trunk. The trunk has a carpet liner. The entire car is very clean including the trunk and engine bay. Here's the story on why I am selling the car. Last year I restored a 1964 Corvette coupe. I took a 1957 Chevrolet 150 on trade plus cash. I put the '57 Chevy on eBay but it did not meet my reserve. The high bidder called me after the auction was over and wanted to trade cars. I did not really want a 1960 Falcon but we eventually agreed on a difference figure that worked for both of us. Now I want to sell the Falcon to cash out of my Corvette. I have not driven the car very much but it appears to be a reliable car. As I said earlier, it always starts on the first turn. It drives well down the road and does not pull to either side. The guy that traded it to me drove it often and said it never let him down. I have a clear North Carolina title for the car in my name. I have taken a bunch of photos of the entire car including the bottom and the can be seen at: http://s188.photobucket.com/user/jerhofer/library/1960%20Ford%20Falcon?sort=3&page=1 The car is sold as is with no warranty. If you have questions, please give me a call at 704-657-8320. On Feb-04-14 at 19:28:28 PST, seller added the following information: Be sure to scroll down for the photos.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well
Mon, 23 Sep 2013New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
Ford Fiesta RS with 250 horsepower mooted
Thu, Jan 29 2015We know Ford is unveiling a new Focus RS on February 3, and it's heavily rumored to arrive brandishing an all-wheel-drive powertrain and as much as 350 horsepower. The folks at Ford Performance have also promised they are working on at least 12 models through 2020, and that still leaves a lot of time to get additional exciting vehicles out the door. One of those could be an RS version of the Fiesta, according to Evo. An RS take on the latest Fiesta would obviously need substantial boosts in both power and handling ability to warrant the work over the current top Fiesta ST (pictured above), which is already one of our favorite cars. Evo speculates that the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder could be tuned further, possibly up to about 250 horsepower, and the high-performance hatch might even take some inspiration from the Fiesta WRC rally car with an all-wheel drive system. An unnamed Ford spokesperson remained cagey about the chances for the pint-sized hot hatch to Evo, though. "We can't say anything at this moment, but we have promised to produce 12 performance models in the coming years. We'll leave it for you to decide whether that includes a Fiesta at this moment," the source said to the magazine. Evo doesn't expect a launch across the pond until at least 2017, if it actually happens. Of course, there's the lingering question of whether such a niche project would work in the US. In Europe, the Fiesta RS would challenge similarly diminutive speedsters like the Volkswagen Polo R and Audi S1, but true competitors of an equivalent size here would be much more scarce. In fact with 250 hp, the hotter Fiesta could provide unwelcome competition within Blue Oval showrooms for the Focus ST.

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks
Sun, 25 May 2014Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
