Customized 1965 Ford Falcon Hardtop on 2040-cars
Midlothian, Virginia, United States
|
ITEM You are bidding on a customized 1965 Ford Falcon hardtop. The car has won numerous awards including 1st place in the Modified category at the 2010 Falcon Club of America National meeting in Dearborn, MI. The car was built in SW North Carolina and has been driven less than 5000 miles since the restoration was completed. I've owned the car about 4 years and am the second owner since the completion of the build. The car is a great driver but is usually trailered on long trips to minimize damage to the paint. The car is powered by a rebuilt 302 CID SBF engine with a 4 barrel Edelbrock carb, a Dan Williams top-loader 4 speed transmission and a Hurst shifter. The engine breathes through Doug's full length headers, Flowmaster mufflers with the pipes exiting ahead of the rear tires. A narrowed 8" Ford open rear completes the drive-train. The exterior features a Crites fiberglass T-bolt style hood, side and rear trim and factory emblems have been removed and custom pin-stripping has been applied to the sides and rear. Paint is a Sherwin-Williams BC/CC. A stock steel hood painted to match the car is included with the auction. The build included a new radiator and hoses and an electric pusher fan mounted in front of the radiator. The fan has not been connected, but the sale includes a Ron Francis electric fan wiring kit and relay. The factory wiring harness was removed and a Ron Francis Bare-Bonz wiring harness was installed. The fuse and relay panel is mounted above the driver's side kick panel and the wiring harness is completely color keyed and labeled. The interior features Mustang bucket seats with custom upholstery, custom headliner, an engine turned Haneline instrument cluster with TPI instruments, a custom aluminum dash insert on the passenger's side, new carpet with dynamat underlayment, a Pioneer radio, a custom console and a Grant steering wheel. The windshield was replaced with the build and all new window seals, weatherstripping and window fuzzies were installed. The rear window has a blemish and another used rear window is included with the sale. The car rides on 17" Billet Specialties Fast Lane wheels and BFG G-Sport tires. Front tires are 205/50-17R and the rears are 245/45-17R. The rear wheel wells have been mini-tubbed and the rear springs have been relocated inside the rear frame rails. Subframe connectors have been installed. At one point, the car was being built as a drag racer but the prior owner purchased it and built it as a pro-touring style street car. The stock fuel tank had been removed, the trunk floor filled, a 14 gallon fuel cell installed and braces were installed in the trunk in anticipation of drag racing the car. The braces and fuel cell could be removed, a stock type gas tank could be installed and the trunk could be finished to match the custom interior if a future owner wishes. The prior owner had the car appraised in 2009 and it was valued at $35,000. Since owning the car, I have installed a new Optima red-top battery, a reproduction 5 blade fan and heavy duty shroud, both emergency brake cables, Beam seat belts, reproduction hood hinges, a new clutch kit, pressure plate, TOB, dual reservoir master cylinder and a Wilwood proportioning valve and had the car pin-stripped. The only issues with the car is a slight water leak on the driver's side, the blemish on the rear window, the passenger side courtesy light switch needs to be replaced ($10 part) and the heater fan has quit working recently. The heater fan has just quit working and I have not had a chance to locate the problem. I have a clear Virginia title for the car. The car is located in Richmond, Virginia. I've described the car as best as I can and I would urge interested bidders to inspect the car in person. Weather permitting, the car will be at the Ford Fever Classic show at Budd's Creek Dragway (Maryland International Raceway) on Saturday, November 9th for your inspection. Send me a message if you plan to see the car there and I will give you my cell phone number. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I have listed the car with a reserve and I will not reveal what the reserve price is. I will say that the reserve price is considerably less than the apprised value. Check my eBay rating and bid with confidence. SHIPPING If the successful bidder does not want to drive the car home, he will be responsible for selecting a shipper and for all costs associated with shipping the car to a new location. I will work with the shipper of your choice to coordinate pick-up. PAYMENT A $1000 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the close of the auction. Please don't bid if you must arrange financing or if you do not have permission from your wife to buy the car. Final payment is due within 7 days of the close of the auction. Final payment must be made with cash or a wire transfer to my bank account. If using a wire transfer, the car and title will not be released until my bank notifies me that the money has been credited to my account. |

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Wed, 02 Oct 2013A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
