1963 ford falcon roadster rat rod project

Let me start out by saying this is not my car. I am listing it for a friend of mine that doesn’t have a computer so any and all questions should be directed to him (roger: phone #231-865-7448)

DESCRIPTION: 1963 ford falcon roadster( no top)RAT ROD PROJECT CAR with a 351w out of a 1976 cougar (mileage unknown) and it is backed by a c-4 fmx 3-speed automatic It has a 5 lug ford 8” rear end w/3:00 open gears and a mustang II 5 lug front end with manual front disk brakes. Now this car was born a convertible back 50 years ago and the guy that Roger bought it from had used it for a parts car for the completion of his other convertible so when Roger got it most of the parts were gone but being the visionary guy that he is he built the car that you now see.

Now when Roger bought this car it was the body only. He installed a rear end out of a maverick with the 4-link and the mustang II front end so he could get it sitting on all fours again. He reinforced the original frame with 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 tubing to take the added torque of the 351(motor runs good with no noises or smoke) and put new sheet metal on the floors to make it solid again. He then went all the way thru the brake system and replaced everything to do with the brakes so it is all new from the master cylinder and the front rotors to all the lines to the rear drums everything is new. Then he installed the rear seat out of a dodge caravan and the front buckets came from a fox body mustang. The wheels are key stone classics and the tires are fair. He put in a new front windshield, mirrors,carpet, and made the console and door panels and side panels

He also put in a plastic fuel cell and re-wired the car so all the lights are in working order (but the new gauges still need to be installed and wired)

Included in the sale but not installed is the door glass (the driver’s side is cracked), both side rear windows are in the car and work great. It also includes (if you want to put it back to a convertible) some top bows and the header panel but it needs repaired on the ends do too rust and the windshield wiper motor. He also has 2 quarts of the white paint to go with it and some other parts (pictured but not the steering wheel pictured) that go too. Like I said this is a RAT ROD PROJECT CAR with no warranties or guaranties it has only been lot driven. But if your interested give Roger a call at 231-865-7448 and he can answer any questions about this build.

THIS CAR HAS ONLY BEEN LOT DRIVEN IT HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE ROAD SINCE COMPLETION!!! SO USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT AND BID ACCORDINGLY.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.

Ford Mustang was almost 'Imported from Detroit'

Wed, Oct 7 2015

The Ford Mustang achieved iconic status nearly the moment the sheet came off at the 1964 World's Fair. And if Henry Ford II wasn't getting divorced around that time, the pony car might have been called the Torino and been marketed as 'Imported from Detroit,' according to Automotive News. We'll explain. During research for the new book Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story, author David Maraniss found an interesting connection between Chrysler's (now FCA US) slogan and the Ford Mustang. Before the pony car even had a name, the Blue Oval's advertising agency had the idea to market it as a "brand new import ... from Detroit," according to Automotive News. The vehicle would be sold as "inspired by Italy's great road cars, but straight from Detroit." The name Torino was suggested, as well. However, the real world interfered in making the Mustang Detroit's first import. According to the author, Henry Ford II was getting a divorce, and his future wife was Italian. It was therefore thought to be a bad idea to sell the future pony car as being from Italy. Things clearly changed by the time the Torino hit the streets years later. Related Video:
