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

Major automakers post mixed US June sales figures

Mon, Jul 3 2017

General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV posted declines in US new vehicle sales for June on Monday, while major Japanese automakers reported stronger figures. Once again, demand for pickup trucks and crossovers offset a decline in sedan sales. Automakers' shares rose as overall industry sales still came in above Wall Street expectations. The US auto industry is bracing for a downturn after hitting a record 17.55 million new vehicles sold in 2016. Analysts had predicted that overall, US vehicle sales would fall in June for the fourth consecutive month. As the market has shown signs of cooling, automakers have hiked discounts and loosened lending terms. Car shopping website Edmunds said on Monday the average length of a car loan reached an all-time high of 69.3 months in June. "It's financially risky, leaving borrowers exposed to being upside down on their vehicles for a large chunk of their loans," said Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' executive director of industry analysis. GM said its sales fell about 5 percent versus June 2016, but that the industry would see stronger sales in the second half of 2017 versus the first half. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." GM shares were up 2.4 percent in morning trading, while Ford rose 3.3 percent and FCA shares jumped 6 percent. "US total sales are moderating due to an industry-wide pullback in daily rental sales, but key US economic fundamentals clearly remain positive," said GM chief economist Mustafa Mohatarem. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." Ford said its sales for June were hit by lower fleet sales to rental agencies, businesses, and government entities, which fell 13.9 percent, while sales to consumers were flat. But it sold a record 406,464 SUVs in the first half of the year, with Explorer sales increasing 23 percent in June. And sales of the F-150 had their strongest June since 2001. On a media call, Ford executives said an initial read of automakers' sales figures indicated a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of around 17 million new vehicles for the month, which would be better than 16.6 million units analysts had predicted. FCA said June sales decreased 7 percent versus the same month a year earlier.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012

Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
