You're looking at a 1965 Ford Falcon Squire Wagon. Dark Blue with original paint and wood grain. The vehicle has spent all it's life in Southern Texas. I've had it stored for sometime in a warehouse since purchasing. Overall, the Falcon has been store for over 20 years without being driven. I believe the mileage of 97,226 to be correct, but with no way to prove I cannot guarantee it. This is a rare Falcon being a wagon, a Squire model, V8, automatic with air conditioning! The vehicle has a power tailgate window. There is NO rust on the body and only a small amount of rust on the roof. The underneath is has very minor rust in the floors in two areas. The rear spare tire well is rust free as well. The front windshield is cracked whereas the rest of the glass is in great condition. The interior is all original with the original radio missing and the front seat appears to be not original. The headliner will need to be replaced. The engine and transmission are complete. I haven't checked to verify if they are original. My plans were to put a late model fuel injection Mustang GT engine and trans in it with some 20 inch wheels, then drive is a daily driver. I have way too many old Fords to finish before I'd ever get to this car, so I'm selling a few of them in hopes someone else will enjoy them.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing
Mon, Dec 29 2014The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.
