For sale is a 1965 Ford Falcon Futura. Came with the 289 v8 and c4 ultramatic transmission from the factory! The motor is currently out of the car, as we rebuilt a 302 to put in place of the 289. The motor is assembled and ready to be dropped in. 302 rotating assembly with 289 heads, head had over $900 worth of work, including, stainless valves, ported, all new springs and retainers, Comp Cams roller tip rockers, cleaned, heat treated and resurfaced. Has a Lunati Voodoo Cam package which included a .562 lift cam and lifters. HEI Distributor, Noisy Gear drive, new fuel pump, new oil pump, Edelbrock Aluminum intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb. Motor will run very strong and move this light weight Falcon around very good, should be a good for 300+hp! Motor is ready to be dropped back in! The Transmission is still strong and dont slip a bit! Overall the car is very solid, no holes in trunk or floor, no rust, and its not a bondo car, this is very solid all metal still. Inner front fenders have very small holes which is typical with the Falcons, Mustangs and Fairlanes. Interior is all original, its in very good condition still, needs to be cleaned, steering wheel is becoming weathered which is typical of these cars. Paint is 20+years old, but as you see from the pictures it still has a shine to it, but its not show paint. All the chrome is there, along with all the trim, glass is in excellent condition still as well. Has brand new Jegs pro star wheels, with new BF Goodrich tires all the way around, brakes are in good working order aswell. For the most part the car is still original, been in the family for 20+ years, always stored inside out of the weather. Doors shut solid and tight like when it was brand new, all the body lines are flawless, straight with no exrtra gaps, rare to find anymore. This is someones chance to get a huge head start on a restoration since theres no body work that needs to be done, and the car is solid through out, or throw the motor in and drive just the way it is. These are getting harder and harder to fine, especially 2 door hard top Futuras! Any questions feel free to ask, located at Rockford, IA! Thanks

Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant

Tue, Jun 17 2014

How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.
