I bought this to work on with my son...Going to go another direction. He is wanting to build a T Bucket.
The car is solid for the most part, rust along trunk lid-it will need to be replaced, We were going to take all the side chrome off and slick it out. The bumpers have been painted as well as most of the trim. The frame above the rear axle has been prior repaired, someone used plate steel and rough cut it. The underside of the car has some type of under coating on it.
The inside is really good, top is good, carpet good, seat good,tires have tread on them. The car runs really rough, have messed with it a little, there is 1/2 tank of gas in it, have had 2 different mechanic types tell me it may be the gas, added additive it does run a little better, the choke wire is off of it, that may be part of the issue?? The former owner stated it has only been driven 4-5 times in last 3 years, gas stinks, we have only had it for a month or so. The car does run and drive, it just runs really rough. Will need to be trailered home.
The left side of grill mounting tab is broken, the AC does not work. There is a piece of trim on right front fender that is missing, some has dents and dings in it. Trim has been painted. Crack in dash pad.
Windows and top all work really well, glass is OK.
Mileage shows 68,427- the title shows different 76,520, the guy we bought it from said there was a typo on the title, in order to get fixed they would have had to go back to the original owner to get fixed and she is dead...The inside of car, top, pedals look right for miles, the title shows different than what the car has. So I am selling as unknown miles.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo
Sun, 27 Apr 2014When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.
Ford exec downplays idea of aluminum-intensive cars
Thu, Jan 15 2015Ford certainly made waves when it rolled out the all-new 2015 F-150 made primarily out of aluminum. But while trimming weight off its vehicles is a top priority for the Detroit automaker, we shouldn't expect the lightweight metal to be used as widely on passenger cars as it has been on its new pickup. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress on Wednesday, top Ford exec Joe Hinrichs said that using aluminum in passenger cars isn't as beneficial as it is in trucks – primarily because the weight savings isn't as dramatic, or as deeply needed. Though improved fuel economy is certainly one advantage of aluminum construction in a truck like the F-150, low prices at the pump have prompted Ford to highlight another advantage, and that's capability: With less weight on its own, a lighter-weight truck can carry and tow more than a heavier one, because it all comes down to combined weight ratings. Ford is expected to make the new F-Series Super Duty largely out of aluminum for the same reasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the next Expedition use the material as well. But while certain components in Ford passenger cars will be made of aluminum, we shouldn't expect entire chassis and bodywork assemblies to use the material as extensively as on the F-150, or on more upscale passenger cars from the likes of Audi or Jaguar. Dearborn is, however, investing in other lightweight materials. It has a joint venture with Dow Chemical to put carbon fiber into mass production, much as BMW has with its i3. The Blue Oval will use a combination of carbon and aluminum on its 2017 GT supercar, and it has stripped weight by removing amenities from the 2016 Mustang GT350R, but apparently neither is a method Ford can practically apply to its volume models.
