1960 Ford Falcon on 2040-cars
Aurora, Illinois, United States
|
Here's a little piece of American history up for sale. This is an all original Ford Falcon from the first year of production. This is an unmolested original car which should be evident from the pictures. The vehicle is in remarkably good shape. There is no rust anywhere. The chrome is in perfect shape and has a beautiful shine to it. Tires are new with less than 3000 miles on them. Interior is impeccable with one minor flaw. There is a small rip on the back side of the drivers seat. Other than that it's perfect. It appears that the car was never smoked in. The ashtray looks as it did from the factory as well as the cigarette lighter. Everything works as it should. I have installed a new "retro radio" made for this vintage Falcon. It is AM/FM stereo with a USB jack to hook up an ipod or iphone. The jack is discretely hidden in the ashtray. I have the original AM radio that works and will be sold with the car. Mechanically this Falcon is as sound as can be. I have a friend who has been a Ford mechanic for 30 years and he services this car for me. The odometer reads 52,980 and as I can't prove it to be original, I believe this is probably actual given the pristine condition of the car. The car lives in a climate controlled garage and does not get driven in rain or snow. I only pulled it out of the garage onto the driveway to take pictures of it. So I'm sure you're wondering why I'm getting rid of such a great car? The answer is simple. I've recently aquired a vintage airstream camper and I need a more suitable vintage vehicle to pull it with. If it wasn't for that, I would definitely be keeping this car. To be honest, I hate to see her go. I really feel this car will exceded anyones expectations. It's just a really cool little car that has been very well cared for and preserved. |

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.
