1961 Ford Falcon 2 Door Station Wagon (like Sedan Delivery) on 2040-cars
Ada, Oklahoma, United States
I will try to describe this car best as I can. This is a very restorable vehicle.....The body is in good conditon...no major damage or rust. The only rust through I could see was two small holes on the hood, which IMO could be easily fixed with a MIG ......fenders, doors, quarters, tailgate good condition......I didn't crawl under car but there will be some floor work required but I dont think a total replacement.
Overall rust is not a major issue .. The rust you see in the photo is 99.9% surface rust. All the glass is in the car except the passenger vent window and all is in good condition.....Front seat is missing but I believe a two door Falcon coupe has same seat...rear seat is there...instrument panel good condition... All the trim is on the car, One trim piece. on the upper rear left quarter looks like somebody was bending it on purpose.....some dings in other trim but not bad and can be fixed..... Since it is stainless a professional could restore all pieces...one piece would take considerable work. the other only minor work.. Engine is a six banger, with a three on the tree tranny...believe it or not this car was a good running vehicle when parked about 40 years ago....hood has never been up since then so no water got on the engine...the oil is clean in the engine......I would almost bet that it would start with new points, plugs wires and carb rebuild...Remember it has been sitting in a fairly dry environment jn Oklahoma... I was going to haul this back to Florida but when I went to get it I had with me 14 inch tires and discovered that it has 13 inch four lug rims...that is why it is on blocks as I took three of the wheels off to get tires mounted.......i am almost sure the brake drums will be difficult to turn since it has been sitting for a long time and possible they will require replacement, I picked up a 57 Dodge same day I bought this and had to cut the brake drums off....Chances are the drums will have to be replaced anyway on the Falcon....\\ . Fortunately the dry Oklahoma weather didn't take it's toll on this collectible car and although the surface rust makes it look rough, it really is not....... Had it been down here in Florida with me it would be a rust bucket......whew.....It will require a little work to get the brake drums to turn and load this car on a trailer. Also the rear springs will need to be replaced as a couple of the leafs are broken. This I understand was a major problem on early Falcons because they are only 2 inches wide. I believe in 64 they put the 2.5 inch mustang type springs on Falcons....a good move on Ford's part......The car can be loaded and trailered but those springs will have to be replaced. I have found repo springs for about $100........... I will deliver this car to anywhere in just about the whole southeast for the cost of $1 a mile from it's current location. I will not deliver north of Oklahoma or west of Oklahoma...... Draw a line from Oklahoma City to Tallahassee FL and I will deliver anywhere close to that... otherwise it is LOCAL PICKUP only......Remember it will require some brake drum work....I have three 13 inch tires in the car but they need to be mounted. Best thing would be to bring four good four lug ford rims with tires and a trailer... Once again I will not arrange shipping other than where I have stated. It would be up to you to go get the car or arrange shipping. Since it will be hard to load take that into consideration BEFORE you bid......... The car is located in Ada, Oklahoma I do not have a title but can get one for an additional $250 over the selling price. It belonged to my uncle last and the Oklahoma DMV said it cost that much to get a duplicate title....... It will take a couple weeks to do that after the sale of the car...otherwise you will get a bill of sale and you can obtain your own title. Different states have different rules and cost for obtaining a title for non titled car...again take that into consideration BEFORE you bid.... This is a rare Falcon..I have not seen another one in a long time ...This wagon is five times as rare as a two door coupe and the least produced of all the Falcon lines.......two doors are very desireable ......I love the looks of the windows in ths car............. I can be reached at 850 377 8472 with any questions or send me an email.. I will accept pay pal for deposit and it is NON REFUNDABLE due with two days of sale...full price due within a week.....no exceptions..... I am honest you be honest with me....... |

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club
Thu, Nov 20 2014Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging.

Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS.

The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
