Up for bids is this clean old 1965 ford falcon 2 door hard top. This is a neat old car. These hardtops are getting hard to find. It is a futura. It has a 289 engine in it with a 4 speed top loader transmission and a 9 inch rear end. It did not start out this way but someone made it like they wanted it. It was originally a T code 6 cylinder car. Everything was converted over including the front suspension so all the 6 cylinder stuff is gone. It looks like it had alot of spunk back in its day. It was sat up in the early 90's awaiting a restoration and well you know the so familiar story it never happened. The gentleman I got it from said This was a big 9 inch rear end and a top loader 4 speed out of another later 60's model mustang. He said it had some power at the red light. The body is in good shape considering its age and looks to be original sheetmetal. The body as a whole would need some work but it wouldn't take much to get it ready to repaint. It has a few small spots that will need a little work. This is not a bondo buggy either it looks to be pretty solid. The bottom of the drivers fender will need a little work. All the glass is good except for the windshield and I have another good one to go with it. The interior is all there just needs restoring. The floors look okay. I see a few small holes in the rear ones but I think they could be fixed as is without having to change them out. Thats just my opinion someone thats wants something perfect would probably want them changed out. The truck floor is the same way has a few small spots but nothing to big. The frame, torque boxes, and engine bay are all solid. Overall this is a solid car. The motor will turn over by hand. I have not tried to crank it. It will need the fuel system cleaned, brake work, and whatever else before it is ready to go. It was running when it was sat up. It will most likely run still but will take some work and effort to do so. I have a clear title to it. It is located in Jonesboro Louisiana. I will accept cash in person, certitfied bank check, or bank wire transfer as payment for the car. I can store it as long as needed but will require full payment within seven days of the end of auction. If you have questions or need more info just let me know. If you would like to call me my number is 318-278-1069.

Ram and Alfa Romeo top J.D. Power study of best automaker websites

Fri, Jul 21 2023

Imagining a new car can be terrific fun, especially if the new car is an Alfa Romeo. So say the fantasy engineers at the J.D. Power agency, who’ve found that Alfa and Ram, sister brands under the Stellantis umbrella, offer potential buyers the most attractive consumer websites, which are often their first viable encounter with those vehicles. Power found that those marques lead the mass market and premium categories in its twice annual Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study. In the premium segment, Alfa Romeo led with 755 points, up six points over BMW, 10 points ahead of Infiniti, 14 points past of Jaguar, and 18 points up on Porsche. By contrast, Volvo and Audi trail the pack with 689 points, and are behind Genesis (699 points), Tesla (720), and Cadillac (721), all of which perform worse than the premium segment average of 724 points. The summerÂ’s study showed that in the mass market segment, Ram leads with an impressive 735 points, which puts it six points ahead of GMC, seven points atop its stablemate Jeep, eight points beyond Subaru, and 22 points ahead of the industry average. Volkswagen finished dead last among mass market names, but only one point behind Ford, 684 to 683 out of a possible 1,000. Segment average, as noted, was 713 points. Â“Website satisfaction can be volatile, and automotive websites are not immune to changing preferences,Â” said Jon Sundberg, director of digital solutions at J.D. Power. Â“However, manufacturers have shown to be very agile when it comes to website design and ensuring their sites meet modern standards, more so than many other industries, as exemplified through the study data.Â” Marketing/Advertising Alfa Romeo Audi BMW Ford Volkswagen

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.
