1965 Ford Falcon Miles 102,860
I purchased this car about a year ago from an older gentleman in Georgia just as you see it. He had done quite a bit of work to it until medical problems shut him down. My intentions were to build it into the first car I ever owned which was a 1964 Futura V8 4 speed bench seat, blue on blue. A motorcycle wreck has changed my plans as well. I do not want this car just sitting for another year or two while I recover from back surgery, its had too much work and too nice to sit and start deteriorating.
About the car, it runs great and drives well also. When I purchased the car it had up to date tags and insurance certificate so he must have been driving it on a regular basis. Most of the body work has been done; there are still a few areas that need to be taken care of but nothing major. For a 50 year old car it is in great shape with no major rot.
The following information is from documentation he sent with the car that was performed in 2011 2012 by different shops and him:
Installed rebuilt 5.0 roller engine - Installed rebuilt C4 transmission - New transmission crossmember - New gas tank and fuel lines - New wiring harness - Keyless remote doors and trunk - Install Hurst Shifter - Install new exhaust system - New electric fuel pump - New radiator New Edelbrock 4bbl carburetor New aluminum intake manifold New starter, started solenoid, alternator, distributor, wires and plugs New motor mounts New air shocks on rear All new hoses and engine fan All new rear brakes, drums and cylinders New drive shaft and u-joints. It looks like front end work has been performed by the look of the tie rod ends and such.
Trunk and engine compartment have prepped and painted. The car has 4 new 175/70R/14 tires mounted on the newer style Magnum 500 wheels with the trim ring. Body lines are laser straight that I have tried to illustrate in the pictures. All windows roll up and down as supposed to and the interior is fairly new.
I have quite a few spare/needed parts pictured. The good thing about parts for the 64-65 Falcon, this was the platform the 64-65 Mustang originated. Other than the obvious body panels/glass etc. all of the chassis parts, engine compartment, window, door and interior parts are interchangeable. I will post pictures of all extra/spare parts I have that go with the car in the next few days.
In this description I have tried to illustrate the car to the best of my knowledge. Like I have said most of the work has been done there is still a bit to go but it wont take much to make a nice little hot rod out of this car.
There is no warranty offered or implied with this vehicle and I reserve the right to end the auction early because I have the car for sale here locally.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this ad. Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Vehicle 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.
Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
Are we about to see a real SUV revival?
Wed, Mar 23 2016Now that the marketplace has been oversaturated with cute-utes, crossovers, and CUV coupes, are we about to see a resurgence of real, honest-to-God SUVs? Ummm... maybe. The stars seem to be aligning in that direction, at least that's the sense I'm getting. We know an all-new Jeep Wrangler is only a few auto shows away; and that Jeep is about to introduce a new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for 2017, in the same rugged spirit of the successful Cherokee and Renegade Trailhawks. Ford has hinted at a neo-Bronco, after showing the concept above in 2014 to wet the mouths of all those Duck Dynasty-types out there. And, and... wait for it... I recently learned that Subaru sent a questionnaire out to some Forester owners asking if they might be interested in an off-road package if it were offered. The items listed were pretty hardcore, serious stuff, such as: integrated tow/recovery hooks, additional ground clearance, more rugged wheels, skid plates, altimeter, front-view off-road camera, improved approach and departure angles, advanced differentials, Inclinometer, full-size spare tire, upgraded off-road suspension components, more aggressive tires, off-road driving mode (engine, transmission, throttle, and steering settings), more rugged styling, low-range gearing, and a more advanced traction management system. Folks that's not my wish list (well, actually it is), but those are words from Subaru, asking if that's what customers would like to see. Need proof? Go to the SubaruForester.org website. It's in a discussion there. So... no promises or guarantees here, and feel free to call me a rumormonger if you like; but the next few years could prove very interesting for those who actually do go off road. If this pans out, remember, you read it here first. Related Video: Image Credit: Ford Ford Jeep Subaru Crossover SUV Off-Road Vehicles open road
