I have a 1963 Ford Falcon up for auction, the vehicle was purchased in 1963 in Gainesville, GA. The original owner had it up until he died 10 years ago, and then his family kept the car around till they decided to sell it in July of 2012. We purchase the vehicle with the intentions of making a daily driver. Unfortunately with the way my business is going we do not have time to work on it anymore because we are so busy and every time we bring in a new car this falcon gets put further back in line to be worked on. This is how far we have made it with the car; we did a complete tune-up on the car including cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter, oil, filter and fluids changed, and rebuilt the carb. the original fuel pump was not working so we rebuilt it and still could not get the pump to pump enough fuel to run correctly. We bought a electric fuel pump and the car ran fine, we drove it around the parking lot a few times to get the brakes to unlock and if we had had enough time that probably could have been worked out. The new fuel pump needs to be wired to the key switch because as of now it is wired to the battery. The car has manual drum brakes all the way around it and are typical of sitting are a little seized up and would need to have some work done on them either replacing or cleaned up and adjusted. While you had them off I would replace or pack the wheel bearings because I'm not sure when the last time they were done. The clutch and transmission seems to shift and work properly. The car is still set up with a three speed on the column. Rear end also seems to be in good working order in the little bit it was driven. While the vehicle was in the shop it slipped off the jack and either punctured the radiator or punctured the lower radiator hose. Not sure though about the radiator we have not looked it over. The body is in over all good shape. the original owner was involved in an accident in the left rear quarter and it was fixed a long time ago. over the years the body filler got some water behind it and separated the filler from the metal, causing some rust. all of the body filler has been removed and either needs a lower quarter section welded in or someone that knows how to do body work. over all the body is in good shape. The left front fender was applied with aircraft stripper to determine paint thickness and to determine the amount of work to be preformed by our guys in the shop. the floor pans and trunk pan are solid. this is a GA car and has been local its whole life and mostly parked in a garage. the doors open and shut nice, and the dash is nice. its missing the carpet. the seats are all there and in good shape except for someone spraying fabric dye on them and not doing a good job. Please feel free to come take a look at the car or call for any other information. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early do to local sale. Car does not have a title and is not required here in GA, will come with bill of sale form from the State Of Georgia.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
