1961 Ford Falcon 302 V8 5 Speed New Seat Covers Carpet Door Panels Patina Look on 2040-cars
Bremen, Georgia, United States
Here is a very kool 1961 Ford Falcon. It's got a 5.0 Liter 302 engine with a 5 speed manuel transmission in it from a 1989 mustang. The compressor is there just like it was in the 1989 mustang it came out of but car does not have A/C. It would be easy to finish putting A/C in it if you choose to. The heat blows. The drum brakes are in great shape and they were just cleaned and adjusted and stop great. It has No power steering but it honestly don't need it. It tracks straight and the steering wheel is centered when you are going straight. This 5.0 Liter 302 runs very strong and the 5 speed transmission shifts good with no grinding. Clutch is new and feels great. The battery is brand new and has been relocated to the trunk. The front tires are 13 inch and the rear tires are 14 inch. The hubs are still 4 lug hubs. The wheels are steelie wheels painted red to match the interior with the small dish hubcaps. It still has the Original paint except I just had the hood and trunk lid painted but it still has that Patina look. The body is solid with only surface rust and I had it sprayed with Clear to protect it. The interior has New black carpet & New Red vinyl bench front and back. The door panels are new and dash look good. The wipers work. All lights work including headlights, taillights, blinkers and brake lights. It still has its original suspension but it is still a great driver!! The floors and truck are solid. I took pics of the undercarriage as it was when I got then before I cleaned it up and undercoated it to make it look better. You don't see many 61 Falcons around and the ones you find still have the original 6 cylinder engines in them. PRICED TO SELL!!
I reserve the right to end auction early if car sell locally. Pre Sale Inspections are welcomed and encouraged. Cool Car that runs out good. Great driver as is or have painted. I like the patina look but it would not cost alot to have painted. Clear title in hand. Any questions please ask. Nothing to hide here. I have tryed to descripe this car as honest as possible. |

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth
Tue, 26 Nov 2013While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We expect over the next five years this full family of [utility] vehicles to really drive our growth as a company."
And Farley has the numbers to back it up, too. Ford projects overall automotive sales to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2017, but the company's utility vehicles are expected to boom by an impressive 41 percent during that same period. Much of that growth will be in China, where Ford estimates its utility sales will explode. "The biggest opportunity for us globally for utilities is in China," Farley said. "China utility growth is expected to more than double from where it is today to 2017, which isn't that far away." Most astounding is that Ford projects its own utility sales in China will eventually increase by more than 2,000 percent when smaller crossovers, such as the EcoSport and Kuga (sold as the Escape in North America), and the Edge and Explorer, are factored in.
Ford's VP also expects utilities to lead the way in the struggling European market. "With all the difficulties of the European market, there is one segment that has actually expanded in volume over the last several years even though the market is way down, and that's utilities," Farley told us. Ford estimates that their utility sales will grow 65 percent in Europe from 2012-2017. "The utility segment is projected to grow we think about thirty percent between now and 2017 in Europe, and we think we are going to grow twice that rate as a brand," Farley continued.
