1965 Ford Falcon Futura Project Car on 2040-cars
Carlisle, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1965 Ford Falcon, Futura. The car was originally a 6 cylinder automatic (H) code. The car was last registered for the road, in New Jersey, in 1990. The car was disassembled by the previous owner in 2008. The previous owner also started to chemically strip the paint on the rear quarter panels and then lost interest. I purchased the car with the idea of making it into a drag car. I was most impressed by the lack of rust on the inner fenders and fire wall. As far as the body goes the doors are rust free, even on the bottom edge, the front fenders are rust free, the trunk is rust free, the hood is 95% rust free and the rockers are rust free, the roof is rust free also. The bottom of the rear quarter panels had metal put in and the body work was pretty good until the previous owner tried to strip them. The drivers floor pan was patched with sheet metal so its solid but does not look original and the torque boxes need repair. The passenger floor pan has a small area that needs repair and the rear pans are solid. I have all of the glass although one door window glass is broken, the front bumper is straight and looks OK depending on what you plan to do with the car. The rear bumper has some surface rust and a dent that appears easily repaired by a chrome shop. Although it appears most of the trim pieces are there I can't locate the body side trim.
I put this car "loosly" together in about an hour and got the body lines pretty close. With some serious attention the car could pretty straight. It does not appear to have ever been in a serious accident. This car is being sold as a project car. There is some rust, but over all, its a solid car to have some fun with as a race car or rat rod. The original seats are in the car and are in good shape with no tears or mouse nests. I will deliver this car within a 200 mile radius of Carlisle, Pa. for $1.25 per mile. The price is $1,500.00. This is a great project with out getting into a high dollar muscle car. Check out multiple pictures and other services at Tannersclassics.com. The car is offered for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. |

Trump tells Detroit 3 CEOs he wants more US jobs, calls environmentalists 'out of control'
Tue, Jan 24 2017As expected, President Donald J. Trump met with top executives from FCA, Ford, and General Motors this morning as part of a larger push to generate jobs in America. "I want new plants to be built here for cars sold here!", Trump said in a tweet ahead of the meeting. Not everything said in the meeting was made public, but the President later tweeted that he had a "Great meeting with automobile industry leaders." FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne, Ford chief Mark Fields, and GM's Mary Barra all echoed the positive vibes after the meeting. In a statement, Barra called the discussion "very constructive and wide-ranging," adding that it focused on "policies that support a strong and competitive economy and auto industry," and "that supports the environment and safety." That's noteworthy, because Trump is reported to have said "I am to a large extent an environmentalist. I believe in it, but it's out of control." Fields, speaking to reporters after the meeting, said, "We're excited about working together with the president and his administration on tax policies, on regulation and on trade to really create a renaissance in American manufacturing." The Ford CEO was specifically talking about Trump's withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. "We've repeatedly said that the mother of all trade barriers is currency manipulation, and TPP failed in meaningfully dealing with that, and we appreciate the president's courage to walk away from a bad trade deal," he said. Marchionne focused on American manufacturing in his statement after the meeting. "I appreciate the President's focus on making the US a great place to do business. We look forward to working with President Trump and members of Congress to strengthen American manufacturing." Perhaps equally as interesting as what was said and who was invited are what wasn't said and who wasn't invited. Trump has been very vocal about his distaste for US automakers' plants in Mexico, but no mention was made of the North American Free Trade Agreement by Trump or any of the Detroit CEOs after the meeting. We also have to wonder if Trump plans to meet with representatives from German, Japanese, and Korean automakers that have made massive investments into American plants and produce a large number of cars in this country.

Ford increasing Super Duty production by 15 percent
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Ford has announced a hefty $80 million investment in its Kentucky Truck Plant, which is responsible for building the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 versions of the Super Duty pickup. The influx of cash will add 350 jobs to the factory.
The investment is also good for a 15-percent increase in annual production thanks to retooling and other facility upgrades, which equates to an extra 55,000 units of production. Considering that Ford makes even more money off its Super Duty than it does on the hot-selling F-150, this could mean some serious coin to Ford's bottom line.
Hop below for the full press release from Ford on its latest investment.
Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Is 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.
