This is an incredible nice original 80K mile Falcon Squire Wagon that I have been blessed to own the past 3-5 years. The car was restored to a really nice nice driver condition. Everything is nicely detailed including the new rebuilt 200 motor.
The motor... a ford 200 with a GM distrubutor ($500), chrome valve cover, large 9mm race wires, 2 bbl webber carb ($500) and clifford exhaust header ($400) that is chrome. The car runs really good on the highway and cruises the local streets with ease. Breathes really nice with the header and has plenty of get up and go with the 200 and the 2 bbl webber carb...The whole motor compartment was stripped and painted, and then the new power plant installed. Also updated it to an Alternator. Everything is show-n-go for the engine bay.
The interior... is all finished in two tone beige and wood accents. the back deck is a medium stained real wood deck and matched the interior perfect giving it a great beachy "woody" look. The front seats are high back 2012 Mustang Leather seats that are really comfortable...can be hooked up to be electric (currently not hooked up but easily done)...Has new custom carpet, new headliner, new door panels, new dash pad, new steering wheel. The interior was compleatly stripped and restored. New heater core installed too.
Exterior... Stripped and painted base/clear dark metallic green with an off white top. Then hand rubbed and buffed out to a high luster. It's a really nice paint job that has a couple small flaws in it from driving it to shows the past year or so, I mean small small flaws, but thought I would disclose them. All of the original Squire accents are present including the gas cap which is really hard to find. All squire badging is there and in really good shape.
The rear window is electric., it goes up and down with a switch in the dash...or by key. All of the glass in in great condition...and the front windsheild is new.
All weatherstripping is new., all window rubber, door jam weatherstripping etc....all the windows were removed when painting to get the best detail possible...then the car was put back together. The detail is really nice on this car.
I have had nothing but joy with this Squire Wagon and the new owner will do nothing but have joy when they own it.
Details...
- I have some extras that come with the car...a couple surf boards, a hula hule girl for the dash
- AM/FM/CD stereo is mounted in the glove box with a bass mounted in the spare tire area giving a nice rich sound.
- Custom console
All in all this car needs nothing but a garage to live in. The 2 speed transmission does the job., but if I was to keep the car, I would install an early c-4 as they are more up to date.
If you have any questions on this Squire Wagon, don't hesitate to call., or if you would like more photos of the motor area (completely detailed) and or interior don't hesitate to ask. I will entertain offers too.
Car is also for sale locally here in Sacramento., although if there are bids and they are close to my asking price I will let the listing ride. But I do reserve the right to pull the listing if is sells locally. If I get around to listing it local.
Thanks., Guy 916-549-1088

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.
Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines
Fri, 25 Oct 2013The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
