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. |

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle
Fri, Dec 18 2015Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
