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.

Blue Oval's new Cargo cab-over rig is largest "One Ford" initiative yet

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The imposing commercial truck above has a feature that might be surprising to most Autoblog readers - a Blue Oval emblem on the front. Here in North America, Ford simply doesn't play in the eighteen-wheeler sandbox, but that doesn't mean that the Dearborn-based automaker is absent in the heavy hauling space in other parts of the globe. In fact, Ford presently fields two completely different big rig ranges under the Cargo moniker - one a product of an Eastern Europe/Turkey joint venture, and another from Brazil. But that's about to start changing with the advent of this new cab-over model seen here.
Unveiled in São Paulo, Brazil, this new generation of Cargo is perhaps the largest physical embodiment of CEO Alan Mulally's "One Ford" global streamlining strategy. Instead of multiple models, company engineers have developed a new single truck that it says will better meet the needs of truckers in all markets. Designed to compete in what's known as the "extra heavy-duty segment" elsewhere in the world, this Cargo was developed jointly by Ford engineering teams in Brazil, Turkey and Europe.
Specifics remain hard to come by (read: unreleased), but Ford is promising an all-new engine enabling hauling capability of up to 56 tons while still returning excellent fuel economy. Ford's global Cargo lineup will henceforth consist of a dozen models, but Ford tells Autoblog has no plans to bring this hot and heavy-duty action to North America.

Ken Block shows us around his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax

Thu, Jan 22 2015

From his Fiesta HFHV to his '65 Mustang Hoonicorn, the inimitable Ken Block has some awesome machinery at his disposal. But arguably the coolest of the bunch is the RaptorTrax. Based on the previous-gen Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - the one with the steel frame and V8 engine - Block's back country snowmobile on steroids packs a set of tracks at each corner, a full roll cage, equipment rack, lighting, jump seats, survival gear... everything he could need for a trip off road. The Gymkhana master showcased the beast a couple of months ago on the slopes of Baldface in Nelson, BC, but now he's followed up with a less eye-popping but more informative clip in which he shows us everything his RaptorTrax has to offer.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
