For sale is a ford falcon futura sport coupe 200ci L6 manual. Work done, daily driver, YouTube video below.

This is a rare car, less than 6,000 of the updated '69s were assembled (then sold in 1970). This is a daily driver and lives in garage. No rust, engine was rebuilt a bit over a year ago, seals, bearings, rings, points, plugs, etc all new, carb tuned and rebuilt, (rebuilt at 100k, currently at ~32k) by a couple shop guys, that makes me the 3rd owner. Has a modern radiator too, never overheats. Paint is in great condition considering its age, though there are a few chips that have a bit of surface rust, but very small, few small dents, original gaslite glass all around. Has new American Racing wheels, was originally an automatic but when rebuilt a new manual transmission was installed (4 on the floor). All electronics work. The interior is good, seats and headliner are great but the dash is pretty rough ($30 model specific cover on rockauto.com, or as easy as a handful of screws underneath and on top to change out with a new one). 

Sounds great, it's loud, starts immediately, serious head turner (you will be asked about it and asked for photographs so be prepared to look a bit conspicuous). You will not see another one of these around town, and nothing in this shape. This car will be worth pretty big $$ in the not-to-far future, so consider this an investment and daily driver 'project.' I'm moving cross-country for work and would like to keep this car with its Cali plates, so here is your opportunity.

Excellent car to tune, the rear suspension can be raised to fit drag slicks, you can still buy the original gaslite carb trees to make this a 3 carb L6, or even just a rejet on the current carb and an open-air filter to give even greater oomph.

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype

Wed, 08 May 2013

Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.

Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
