This is a beautiful original Western Falcon Squire Wagon (81,xxx original miles) that underwent a restoration two summers ago. The engine is a 200 cid motor that has been rebuilt and has some trick aftermarket "go fast" parts on it to give it plenty of up and go power. Has a Clifford header exhaust on it and a two barrel carb with a GM distributor. These parts alone were $1300+ and it makes a big difference in performance. Dual exhaust help the motor breath nicely. The engine bay is completely detailed and shows great.
The exterior is a base/clear paint. The paint color is dark green metallic with 5 coats of clear had rubbed and buffed to a nice glassy finish. The paint also shows really nice at shows.
The interior was completely gutted and new custom color carpet added, and new leather 2010 Mustang adjustable bucket seats were added for a comfortable ride. The rear fold-down factory seat was taken to a custom upholstery shop and matched to the front buckets. When folded down., there is a wood deck that is in the back part of the interior making it really nice inside. New headliner, all rubber trim, door panels, chrome handles etc are all new. Custom console with gauges round off the interior.
This is a show winner at every show it attends and the last show I was parked next to a $100,000 built 68 Mustang and this Falcon had a crown around it the whole show...the poor guy next to me was a little pissed that my little Falcon Wagon was the hit of the show!...It's rare rare to have one in this condition. The floors are original and rust free as it the rest of the ford sheet metal.
The wood accents on the exterior were hand painted and cleared to make them have more of a "woody" look., and most people thing they are wood....(even though they are fiberglass) The rear back up lights are NOS units (do not work) and the rear window is electric and is controlled from the dash.
To see more on this beauty., I have built a website with a ton of photos and more descriptions. You can view the site at:
(EBAY WILL NOT LET ME PUT A LINK ON HERE TO MY WEBSITE WITH 80 PLUS IMAGES AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION of this falcon..., SO PLEASE EMAIL ME TO GET THE LINK, YOU WILL SEE A LOT MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS)
Don't let this one pass you by...selling only to fund the opening of our car shop...so need some start up cash...It's a shame that I built this car so nice and have to sell it sooo soon. I am kind of a perfectionist, and this car is detailed to the hilt. inside and out.
Thanks., Guy

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 fills an F-150 Raptor-sized void
Tue, Dec 16 2014Ford is rumored to possibly debut a new F-150 Raptor at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show in January, but whether that's the case or not, Hennessey Performance is ready to fill the muscle truck niche now with its latest VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged based on the 2015 F-150. The fantastically named VelociRaptor package has been available on the regular Raptor for the past few years, taking power up to 600 horsepower or more, depending on what the buyer desired. With the latest one, the performance truck is now based on the aluminum-bodied F-150, specifically the FX4 Super Crew model with the 5.0-liter V8. "Having Ford's world-class new truck design, with a weight savings of nearly 700 pounds, our VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged will have an even greater level of performance and driving excitement," said founder John Hennessey in the company's release. The heart of VelociRaptor is the Roots-type supercharger running at 8 psi on the V8. With help from upgraded fuel injectors, a proprietary engine management system and stainless steel exhaust, it boosts grunt from a stock 385 horsepower to over 600 hp. To make sure that power gets to the road, the package also includes 33-inch BFGoodrich mounted on 17-inch Hennessey wheels. For buyers in need of more, the company offers optional parts including an off-road coilover suspension, different front and rear bumpers, a winch, LED light bar and Brembo brakes. Speaking to Autoblog, Hennessey said he feels confident that the latest VelociRaptor could do high-four-second sprints to 60 miles per hour, compared to the outgoing model in the low-five-second range. Prices for the VelociRaptor start at $73,500, which includes the donor F-150, and orders are open now. Actual deliveries should start by March at the latest, according to Hennessey. The company also plans to offer a similar package for EcoBoost F-150s later. Scroll down to read the full announcement about this muscle truck. Introducing the 2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged Texas tuner adds power and improved off-road capabilities to Ford's all-new aluminum bodied pick-up trucks December 16, 2014-For immediate release Sealy, Texas-For the past five years, Ford F-150 truck enthusiasts have had the special opportunity to own the SVT Raptor. With 411 hp and baja pre-runner capabilities, the Ford Raptor was one of the most capable 4x4's ever built. Sadly, Ford Raptor production has ended, leaving a void in the market for 2015.
J Mays' legacy
Fri, 15 Nov 2013
Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
