Up for auction is my 1964 Ford Falcon Futura.  I have owned this car for about five years.  I originally bought the car as an I6 automatic and, over the course of about a year, converted it to a 302 V8 5 Speed.  

This car runs and drives great.  The transmission shifts very smoothly and the engine generates great power.  It's got a custom exhaust which is not too loud but will get your attention when you get on the motor.  With the front disc brakes and larger drums the car stops very well.  The car always runs at 180 to 185 degrees; never had any kind of cooling issues.  The car has been "adult" owned; no racing nor has it been driven hard.

The following is a list of modifications I've made to the car since I've owned it:
  • 302 of a 78 Ford Granada.  Heads were rebuilt to accomodate a different cam
  • Comp Cams 278H cam
  • Double roller chain / timing gears
  • High volume oil pump
  • HEI Distributor w/Ford Racing Wires
  • Edelbrock 1406 carburetor (600 cfm) w/electric choke
  • Weiand dual plane aluminum intake manifold
  • Ford Racing aluminum water pump
  • Hedman Headers
  • Aluminum Radiator (180 degree thermo)
  • World Class T5 transmission from a "fox body" Mustang (5 Speed)
  • Ford Racing clutch, flywheel pressure plate
  • Hurst stick shift
  • 8" Maverick Rear End (3.00 gears); rear end housing was powder coated black
  • Ford Grandard front disc brakes; new front hoses
  • New dual master cylinder
  • 2.5" Exhaust w/Magnaflow Mufflers
  • Auto Meter gauges (tachometer, voltage, oil pressure, temperature)
  • New engine bay wiring harness
  • Newer Interstate battery
  • V8 steering conversion done (pitman arm, idler arm, center link, upper and lower control arms); larger diameter sway bar
  • New suspension (front and rear springs, tie rods, etc).
  • New driveshaft
  • Rear air shocks with external fill
  • Floor pans coated in POR-15 and Dynamat
  • Newer tires with a lot of tread
  • New interior front / rear panels, new carpet
  • Rear trunk mat and fresh trunk seal
  • All windows and chrome are on the car.  The chrome is original, looks very nice, but is not show quality. 
The following items are included in the auction but not installed on the car:
  • California Car Cover
  • Door seal rubber (enough for both doors)
  • Interior edging trim (e.g. trim which goes around the door openings)
The car is in good condition but there are some issues which I will note here:
  • The original color of the car was Wimbeldon white.  A previous owner painted it the color it is now which is a brighter white.  I would say the paint is a 5 out of 10.  It is presentable but nowhere near show quality
  • The speedometer and odometer are not connected.  The T5 housing is for an electronic speed
  • There is a small oil leak from the rear of the pan
  • There is a small leak from the rear end
  • The front windshield has a faint scratch from the passenger side wiper.  There is also a small divet in the windshield at the bottom of the passenger side
  • The horn does not work
  • The blinker switch does not have a "reset" (e.g. when you turn the wheel the blinker will not go off - you need to move the stick back)
  • There is a slight bend in the rear bumper from a previous owner.  
  • The letter "A" is missing from the rear deck.  I refused to buy a Chinese made letter and was not able to find an OEM one to replace it.
  • There is a slight crease in the lower rear fender on the driver's side (you can see that in the pictures)
  • Driver's side door plunger needs to be reconnected; does not affect the operation of the lock
  • Small rip in the carpet on the passenger's side floor (about two inches)
For the high bidder a deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction.  Payment must be received within 7 (seven days) of the end of the auction.  The winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements including carrier and cost.  

I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL AS A FORM OF PAYMENT.  I WILL ACCEPT CASH, MONEY ORDERS, CASHIERS CHECKS AND WIRE TRANSFERS.  ALL FUNDS MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS SHIPPED.

Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Vehicle performance tests are serious business, with reputations made or broken by things like braking distance, top speed, and lateral g-forces. King of the metrics, though, is the 0-60 run, which for unknown reasons has become the benchmark for what truly makes a car a performance machine.
Now, Chris Harris from Drive has turned the whole idea behind the sprint to 60 on its ear. Taking a new Ford Fiesta ST, Harris asks a simple question: would the ST be quicker to 60 on its own, or on a trailer being towed by a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG?
It's a fair question, really. The Fiesta Harris tested hit 60 in 7.2 seconds on a slightly uphill section of runway. It should be noted that Harris quotes his ST at 182 horsepower, which is about 15 ponies less than what we're getting in the US, so these numbers might not hold up all that well against an American model. The G63 AMG, meanwhile, is a 536-horsepower monster, powered by a twin-turbo V8 that, able to propel the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds without towing a Fiesta.

Ford, Renault have surprises in store for Le Mans

Tue, Jun 9 2015

All those prototype and GT racers won't be the only attraction catching our eye at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend. Two major automakers have also confirmed that they've got new metal to unveil. And while they're not saying exactly what they'll be, we've got some pretty good ideas. First up is Ford, which has announced a "major Ford Performance news announcement" on Friday. Chairman Bill Ford, CEO Mark Fields, and product development chief Raj Nair will be on hand for the announcement set to take place on Friday at 10:00 AM Eastern. The Blue Oval isn't saying just what it has in store, but the widespread speculation has been that it will present a racing version of the new Ford GT at Le Mans a good half century since the original GT40 raced there. Meanwhile, Renault has announced that it is marking the 60th anniversary of the Alpine marque at Le Mans this Saturday. The French automaker has been working on reviving the dormant marque, and looks poised to finally reveal its new sports car at its iconic home endurance race this weekend. Tipped to be called the Alpine AS1, the new sports car will bring the marque back out of retirement in a more real way than the ELMS-winning LMP2 prototype ever could. Expect it to be based on the mid-engined chassis underpinning the Renault RS 01 spec racer, but built for the road.
