Humble, Texas, United States

I bought this as a project to do with my kid. Life has changed and it is not going to get done. It is a driver at present but it is still a project. It sat for 7 years till I decided to let it go. The guy I bought it from died shortly after sending it to me so there was no sending it back. It was not as described but he was sick so I just kept it and was going to help my kid fix it right. 63 Falcon Sprint. A real one. That is the good news. Bad news is that it has been modified. 302 Roller Motor from an HO . Has a mild solid roller cam. Sounds great. Has great low end. Electronic distributor. (Ford). Starts with one half turn of the crank. T-5 five speed with after market shifter. Growls some in 3rd gear but shifts great. Has a scattershield. Clutch unknown. No chatter. No slip. Shorty headers. Flowmasters (quiet must be Deltaflows). 9 " rear. 31 spline axles. Detroit Locker. Traction Bars. They work. This thing will do a burn out till next Tuesday without much effort. Griffin radiator, aluminum. Electric fan. Cable clutch. Brand new ignition switch. Battery in the trunk. Tires will do to move it around and do burn outs but don't go too far. I have done the safety stuff already. It has rebuilt alternator, new regulator, all wiring fixed for the charging circuit and it makes 14.1 volts. Fuel lines are replaced so no fuel leaks. It has a new Holley 670 street Avenger. Works great. Holley red pump. Pressure regulator. 7 psi. I will answer any questions the best I can. I did not get too deep into this so some things I don't know. It really does run like a champ and it has good oil pressure, 70 psi. And I have not been able to make it run over 180 degrees. We are busy racing cars and I have 2 other "whole car projects" so this one is not going to get done by me. Someone find it a home!! Good basics are here. Ask questions before you buy. I will tell you everything I know. Shipping is on you. Cash or cashiers check US banks only. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online
Wed, Jun 25 2014Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.
