1961 Ford Falcon 302 V8 5 Speed New Seat Covers Carpet Door Panels Patina Look on 2040-cars
Bremen, Georgia, United States
Here is a very kool 1961 Ford Falcon. It's got a 5.0 Liter 302 engine with a 5 speed manuel transmission in it from a 1989 mustang. The compressor is there just like it was in the 1989 mustang it came out of but car does not have A/C. It would be easy to finish putting A/C in it if you choose to. The heat blows. The drum brakes are in great shape and they were just cleaned and adjusted and stop great. It has No power steering but it honestly don't need it. It tracks straight and the steering wheel is centered when you are going straight. This 5.0 Liter 302 runs very strong and the 5 speed transmission shifts good with no grinding. Clutch is new and feels great. The battery is brand new and has been relocated to the trunk. The front tires are 13 inch and the rear tires are 14 inch. The hubs are still 4 lug hubs. The wheels are steelie wheels painted red to match the interior with the small dish hubcaps. It still has the Original paint except I just had the hood and trunk lid painted but it still has that Patina look. The body is solid with only surface rust and I had it sprayed with Clear to protect it. The interior has New black carpet & New Red vinyl bench front and back. The door panels are new and dash look good. The wipers work. All lights work including headlights, taillights, blinkers and brake lights. It still has its original suspension but it is still a great driver!! The floors and truck are solid. I took pics of the undercarriage as it was when I got then before I cleaned it up and undercoated it to make it look better. You don't see many 61 Falcons around and the ones you find still have the original 6 cylinder engines in them. PRICED TO SELL!!
I reserve the right to end auction early if car sell locally. Pre Sale Inspections are welcomed and encouraged. Cool Car that runs out good. Great driver as is or have painted. I like the patina look but it would not cost alot to have painted. Clear title in hand. Any questions please ask. Nothing to hide here. I have tryed to descripe this car as honest as possible. |

Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake
Thu, 08 May 2014Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500. Scroll down for a press release celebrating Flat Rock's milestone Mustang.
