1960 Ford Falcon Two Door Coupe on 2040-cars
Rockwell, North Carolina, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1960 Ford Falcon two door coupe. It has the 144 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder motor with the manual 3 speed shift on the column. There is no rust on the body. The driver's side floor pan is rusted through in an area about 1"x4" at its lowest point. The previous owner patched it with so it does not leak. Other than surface rust on the bottom of the car, the only other area of rust is at the rear of the right rear wheelwell. Both of these areas can be seen on the photos below. There is no rust in the trunk or engine bay areas.
When I got the car both bumpers were painted dark green to match the wheels and interior trim. They were in good shape with no dents so I had them, as well as the grill, chromed within the past 45 days. All of the stainless trim around the windows and doors is in very good condition. All of the glass has the original "Ford" logos. The windshield does not have any cracks but is pitted from age. The rest of the glass is in very good condition. The pivot pins on both vent windows are broken but the windows will shut tightly. The door glass rattles in the frame as the window tracks are worn. The paint is good but not a high end paint job. The tires are brand new and have less than 100 miles on them. There is a spare wheel that does not have a tire mounted on it. There is no jack or lug wrench. The engine starts easily even on cold days. It has a manual choke and soon settles into an even idle. There are no hesitations or flat spots on acceleration. There are small oil drops and a small coolant drop under the car after it sits for awhile. The clutch works well with no grinding on upshifts or downshifts. First gear is not synchronized. The brakes have been recently bled and the pedal is hard when pumped. However, the first time you hit the brakes, there is some distance before the breaks work. Once it reaches that point, the car stops well and straight. The interior is in excellent shape with newly recovered seats, new door panels, new carpet and a new headliner. The gas gauge reads nearly 1/2 full all of the time and the temperature gauge did not move, although it was very cold the day I drove the car. The car has one set of keys, an ignition key and a key for the trunk. The trunk has a carpet liner. The entire car is very clean including the trunk and engine bay. Here's the story on why I am selling the car. Last year I restored a 1964 Corvette coupe. I took a 1957 Chevrolet 150 on trade plus cash. I put the '57 Chevy on eBay but it did not meet my reserve. The high bidder called me after the auction was over and wanted to trade cars. I did not really want a 1960 Falcon but we eventually agreed on a difference figure that worked for both of us. Now I want to sell the Falcon to cash out of my Corvette. I have not driven the car very much but it appears to be a reliable car. As I said earlier, it always starts on the first turn. It drives well down the road and does not pull to either side. The guy that traded it to me drove it often and said it never let him down. I have a clear North Carolina title for the car in my name. I have taken a bunch of photos of the entire car including the bottom and the can be seen at: http://s188.photobucket.com/user/jerhofer/library/1960%20Ford%20Falcon?sort=3&page=1 The car is sold as is with no warranty. If you have questions, please give me a call at 704-657-8320. On Feb-04-14 at 19:28:28 PST, seller added the following information: Be sure to scroll down for the photos.

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well
Mon, 23 Sep 2013New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.
