"THIS IS THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF"
Anyone familiar with the Humphrey Bogart movie "The Maltese Falcon" knows this famous line from the end of the picture. Well, this little Falcon is also the stuff dreams are made of! What we have here is a rare 1964 Falcon Futura with the original 260 V8 engine and 4 on the floor stick shift. It sports brand new white paint, and it runs as good as it looks.
Some of us remember a time when you could march down to your local car dealer and order exactly the car you wanted! That is what the owner of this car did! He wanted a high-performance hard-top, so he optioned this car for everything the Sprint package offered, minus the side moldings and Sprint badges. As a result, this is a rare car. According to the Falcon Registry, there were only 235 of these cars made, and having a V8, 4 speed stick, with bucket seats and no console makes it almost one-of-a-kind. Even more rare is that it still has the original 260 V8 engine. Most of these engines are long-gone, everyone wanted a 302! But the Ford 260 V8 has an amazing history in the auto world. This was the same engine found in the early "64 1/2" Mustangs, as Ford had not yet introduced the 289, not until later in '64. It was also the first engine Carroll Shelby used in his famous Shelby Cobra! And who can forget the car driven by Secret Agent Maxwell Smart from the TV show "Get Smart"? It was a Sunbeam Tiger with a 260! This was another hybrid car designed by Carroll Shelby that featured a hot-blooded American V8- the 260. For an engine that was produced for less than 2 years, it has an amazing pedigree!
Many fans of nostalgia drag-racing know of the notorious Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt. The white bodies, Thunderbolt lettering, and distinctive bubble hood scoop of these factory production racers are its best characteristic, while boasting a huge 427 FE engine and dual 4 barrel carbs. These legendary dragsters are highly sought-after. Even clones are commanding huge prices, at public auctions and on ebay. So this little Falcon- with its fresh white paint, hot 260 motor, stick-shift, and bubble hood scoop are reminiscent of a mini- Thunderbolt! At a fraction of the price!
Now dont go ordering a 347 stroker, this Falcon is truly a Show and Go car! The 260 in this trick little rocket is built! A hot cam, Edelbrock aluminum intake, and Holley 650 carb make it fast! Traction bars keep it straight, and the front end and brakes are tight. And if you decide to run some passes at the next nostalgia drag race, you can un-cork the headers with the trick threaded-pipe cut-out exhaust! See the photo! And also notice the aluminum driveshaft!
This car offers the best of both worlds- old-school looks, original engine and transmission, but with new paint and modern upgrades! Its a fast car that is fun to drive!
I have to mention that it currently has a T 5 transmission in it, which makes it a better hi-way cruiser because of the overdriven 5th gear. But I do have the original Borg Warner T 10- which has been re-built- to be included with the sale (No, the Ford top-loader trans wasnt introduced til later in '64!)
*The underbody is rust free and solid.This is a rust-free southern car- sold in Atlanta Georgia.
*Headers and full exhaust from front to rear.
*The interior is original and in very good condition.
*The car is fully street-legal.
I have tried to describe this nice little car to the best of my ability. I do have a clear notarized Kentucky title. The car is currently in Kentucky, zip code is 42066 if you wish for a test drive or inspection, or to calculate transportation.
This is your chance to own a rare piece of American high-performance car history!
This Falcon is sure to appreciate, while you enjoy owning and driving it!

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.
2015 Ford Mustang fuel economy ratings leaked
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Thinking about buying a new Mustang, but want to know what kind of fuel economy it'll get? Well we have our first indication as the pony-car enthusiasts over at Mustang6G.com have gotten a hold of the Monroney window stickers for a few of the new 2015 Mustang models.
Although the V8 model is not among them, we can now see how the EPA has rated those models with a half dozen pistons or less. The Mustang EcoBoost with the turbo four and a manual transmission has been rated at 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. The V6 manual gets 17 city and 28 highway, while the V6 automatic squeezes out a bit more in the city at 19 mpg but carries the same 28 highway rating.
By way of comparison, the latest Chevy Camaro with the V6 and a stick shift gets the same 17/28 EPA rating as a similarly equipped new 'Stang, and the V6 automatic Camaro gets 18/27 (slightly behind the Ford, but if you opt for the Camaro 2LS with its V6, automatic and 2.92 rear axle ratio, you'll be looking at 19 and 30).
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
