I have for sale my 1968 Ford Falcon 4 door sedan PROJECT CAR. Please read the following description:

 

Mechanics: this Falcon is powered by an in-line six cylinder. Not sure if it’s a 200 or 250 cu in. Has a 3 speed manual transmission that has had the shifter moved from the column to the floor. The engine seems to run very smooth. Starts, idles and sounds good. Clutch works fine without slipping, but does occasionally have a throw-out bearing noise. Brakes work OK but should be gone thru. Parking brake works well. Has a new alternator. Has a universal ignition switch with “start button”. The shifter is finicky , takes some getting used to, but all forward and reverse gears work fine with no irregular noises.  Has glasspack exhaust. No power steering or brakes

 

 Body: Very solid and dry body. Has a few minor dents, but never wrecked. No rust (other than surface where paint is this) or rot. There is a small rust hole in floorboard on passenger side, and some surface rust (no hole) on driver side floorboard. (see pic) Previous owner removed trunk lock and installed remote cable in interior.

 

Suspension: Previous owner lowered front end(cutting springs). Car drives pretty good but have not driven any distance

Wheels and tires: Has original 4 lug 14” wheels with OK tires

 

Interior: is ROUGH. Rear seat original and present but needs redone. Front seats out of different car. In trunk are headliner bows, some door panels(to use as templates) and some interior trim pieces. There is no dash pad.

 

Glass: all glass is present. Windshield is not cracked, but has wiper scratches.

 

Electrical. All lights work.

Conclusion: This is a project car. It is solid and a good starting point for a fairly rare car. Being rare does not necessarily make it valuable, but you sure don’t see these very often. I have the clean clear title and the car is currently registered in Calif.

Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70

Sun, 20 Jul 2014

We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.

Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake

Thu, 08 May 2014

Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
