1964 Falcon Sprint Hardtop, total production: 13,830

1965 Mustang Fastback, total production 35,698

This car is in amazing condition overall and it would be very hard to find one this nice; I know it took me forever to find this one!

Originally from California, moved to dry Eastern Washington some years later which is where I found it. 65,013 believable original miles. As far as I can tell about 6 owners. I cannot prove the miles, but if you know cars and look at the condition on this one, I think you will agree the 65K is right. There are many elements to the car that indicate the dry life and low miles. For example, the original grill has appropriate wear for the mileage, and there are lots more "tells" as you look it over. Underneath, clean and dry, not detailed, this is an honest car!

Engine/Drivetrain:

Drivetrain all fresh/tight/ready to go. 302 is NOM, but sweet runner w/mild cam, just right for driving. Rearend has an upgraded 9" w bung added for easy lube changes. Mechanically there has been restoration and upgrades, the car needs nothing mechanically. Engine, transmission, rearend, brakes (front disc.), AC, exhaust, tires, wheels; all upgraded/repaired/maintained and fully functional.

Interior:

Near mint interior. Factory AC, works great, blows cold. If you come look at it and pay for it, I will agree to ship the car (to AZ, CA, etc.). Seats covers have been replaced, still has the original console, appears to be original carpet/headliner/sun-visors and more. E-brake works, has original handle. Turn signals, wipers, everything works! Interior needs nothing. I do have and will include with the sale the original steering wheel and all parts/springs/etc. to put it back on if someone so desired. On the drivers door upper portion, there is a dent. It looks like it took a hard elbow or something at some point along the way, don't know and no matter what, there are so many positives to the inside, this is minor, and could be fixed pretty easily too.

Body:

Near mint body. Has had one re-spray, jambs were not done, you can tell this is a black car from new, see pic showing door tag. All body panels and trim are original, there is no evidence of any accidents. Paint and panel fit/straightness is all very nice. The paint is older however, and there are 4 flaws: decklid has small rub-through, body seam from trunk on driver side has small cracking in the lead, roof and passenger door have small (50 cent size) areas of checking in the paint. Otherwise paint is very very nice and these four small imperfections are not noticed by anybody looking at the car. I know they are there and if you really inspect the car, you would find these 4 spots. This is a black car; obviously if the body was not cherry it would easily show right away.

Overall:

This one is a nice mix of "original and unrestored" and "upgraded". It is an honest car with amazing bones and must have been garaged most of it's life. Very tough to find an original like this. At the same time, the upgrades all are very tasteful and make sense/add value (disc brakes, factory AC retained, sweet motor/exhaust, etc.). I don't see where an all original car could be bought and put in this condition for the price, not to mention the rarity of this car. Just finding a 65 Sprint that is unhacked and somebody would let go of is near impossible. It took me many years to acquire this one. NOTE: Any/all changes were done with care and the idea that the car could easily go "back to stock". Slipping in a date coded 289, 8" rear, and putting stock rims and hub caps on would be pretty straightforward if someone wanted to.

In closing:

If not for shifting circumstances in my life, I would not let go of this car. I am a busy person with a lot of responsibilities every day at work and a Family to deal with too, so please try and contact me only if you are a serious buyer, I don't have enough spare time in a day to just chat about the car with everybody. Thanks for understanding that part, and thanks for looking!

Ford Figo concept unveiled in India

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Ford has officially unveiled the Figo Concept at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. While it may wear a concept badge, we'd argue this little sedan, which is under 12 feet long, looks ready to replace the current Figo and do battle with other B-segment cars in the world's emerging markets.
"With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford's VP of engineering, global product development. That premium design includes Ford's familial, trapezoidal grille and Fusion-esque headlights in front, while the rear end reminds us of the last-generation Focus Coupe. While that car wasn't exactly attractive, the chopped off tail looks pretty nice on this smaller car. And if you really don't like the looks of the Figo Concept, just remember - it looks better than the current production model. Aerodynamically, the Figo's shape is quite slippery, which means reduced wind noise and improved fuel economy.
As for the "smart solutions" touted by Galhotra, the narrow confines of Indian streets make driving even the tiniest cars a challenge. To give the Figo Concept a one-up on the competition, Ford has fitted power-folding mirrors that sport a "flexible architecture," which should stand up well to bumps from cars, people or bikes. We don't have any interior images, but Ford is promising a large cabin, that includes a dock that can accommodate a phone or MP3 player, allowing either to be controlled through the car.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost

Fri, 16 May 2014

Earlier this week, Ford invited us to Charlotte, NC, to ride in an all-new 2015 Mustang fitted with its turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. It's the first forced-induction, four-cylinder ponycar for the Blue Oval since the sun set on the 1986 Mustang SVO. We jumped at the opportunity, as only a handful of people have ever been in the passenger seat of this new car, and most automotive media won't get as close as we did until this fall.
As we revealed in our Deep Dive, Ford will slot this new turbocharged four as premium powerplant between its naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. At last mention, the automaker said the direct-injected, all-aluminum engine will develop 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, returning the best fuel economy of the three powerplants in the process. History buffs will note that those figures are appreciably stouter than the 200 horses and 240 lb-ft that the '86 SVO realized out of the same displacement, and the latter's figures were hugely impressive at the time. On paper, the new EcoBoost four looks to be a good fit for most owners who want to balance performance with efficiency - we were eager to see how it felt from the passenger seat.

NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.
