 1962 Ford Falcon Futura - 2 door sedan - One Owner car - Purchased in Minnesota lived there for 6 months and moved to Augusta until now.  The car has been garage kept and is in excellent condition for it's age.  I have most of the service records for the car. 

The car is equipped with a 200 c.i. straight six with a 3 speed on the column.  The motor was rebuilt several years ago and has low mileage.  New radiator and fuel pump.  It runs and drives excellent, shifts smooth and has a very nice ride.  Recently driven 120 plus miles on highway at 65+ mph.  The car has a lot of torque with the 3 speed and 200 motor.  It has power on the highway and you don't feel like you are getting run over by the modern guys.  The car has new tires in great condition with original hubcaps. 

The exterior has been painted a few times over the years.  The paint looks good but does have some imperfections.  The hood has some small cracking of the paint.  There are a few nicks off of the paint on the rockers and minor places on the body.  The car has some minor dings but no major dents.  The top of the car is very nice and everything lines up really nice for a ford.  The car has never been in an accident and has no bondo or filler in the car.  It's extremely straight (scary straight).  The car looks really good from 15 feet.  I would give the paint about a 6.6 but very good driver quality.  The bumpers are straight no bends or anything.  The chrome is in great condition small surface rusting on the top and a little fade but the shine like crazy.  All the chrome trim is great shape except a small ding in the chrome on the drivers door near the seam - looks like someone bumped it with a car door.  All badges and logos present.  The trunk is in excellent condition with original style liner - spare cover and tool bag.  Surface rust in the truck but nothing major - easily treated and stopped.  The only rust I could find in the car is directly behind the driver seat and it's a few small places that someone put a small patch over inside the car (simple fix)

The interior has been redone some time ago but it's tasteful.  The dash and doors were painted back to factory color and are in excellent condition.  The seats, door panels, headliner and carpet were replaced.  They are in excellent condition and the interior shows really well.  If you want to take it back to factory this is the perfect car - all of the seat covers and door panels are available.  The headliner is all there has some stains but is in overall great driver condition.  Original visors in great shape.  The drivers window needs a little help going up and down but all windows do roll up and down.  The car does need new vent window seals, window scrappers and rear window seal.  The vent windows bring in a good amount of air through old seal.  The rear window is not leaking I just noticed that it probably could use a seal sooner or later.  The car has a aftermarket tape deck and two speakers in the back - nothing special but it's tunes.  Instrument cluster in good shape a few small imperfections.  Speedo works and gas gauge.  Temp sensor gauge does not - work on that.  The heat works it's just not that strong - i think on of the vents in the heater box is stuck close - working on that.  All lights and turn signals works.  The reverse lights have been unhooked.  The steering wheel is in fair condition and the horn works but the contact ring is messed up - needs to be worked on a little.  The emergency brake works but needs a little adjusting.

The car runs and drives excellent has good brakes.  It's registered, tagged, insured and daily driven.  Floats down the road while snapping necks. 

Overall this is an amazing example of a 1962 Ford Falcon Futura. This car could be taken in some many directions.  Drive it like it is or paint it and put the factory interior back.  It's really a straight and amazing driving car.  It has just two minor rust places. 

The car is being sold AS-IS with a Bill of Sale as required by the state of Georgia.  I do not have a Title to this car. 

The buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping and the arrangement of either option.

A deposit is required and the remaining balance should be paid within 72 hours of auction closing.  The remaining balance is to be paid in cash preferably.  I will not accept the remaining balance via paypal.  Arrangements to pick up the car must be made in a timely manner (within 72 hours of auction close).  I will do my best to make the transaction as simple as possible. 

Please email with any questions or leave a phone number if you would like to discuss the car. 

Please only bid on this car if you intent on purchasing the car.  And lowball bidders have been set up to be declined automatically.  Thanks in advanced.

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.

How did Ford keep the GT a secret before Detroit?

Mon, Feb 2 2015

True secrecy is a rarity in the automotive industry. Sure, companies try to keep their future projects under wraps all of the time, but usually a spy shot or blurry development photo leaks out. The complete lack of any hard details before its unveiling likely helped make the Ford GT one of the biggest stars of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Not only was it the favorite of Autoblog's editors, but the supercar scored a prestigious EyesOn Design Award, too. Rumors about the vehicle had circulated for weeks before the show, but no one really knew much about the GT until it rolled onto the stage for Ford's press conference in Joe Louis Arena. Amazingly, the Blue Oval kept things mostly a secret during the car's 14- month gestation period prior to its debut. According to Automotive News, the GT project began in late 2013 by a skunk works team, including six designers, that guided the supercar along from birth until the unveiling. Ford kept things clandestine by locking the vehicle in a basement storage room, and only the group members got a key to the lock. Much of the development was also done at night to further keep the secret, but occasionally the prototype was hauled outside on weekends to check it out in natural light. Because of the speed in getting the development done and for even more stealth, the designers didn't get input from the Blue Oval's other styling teams around the world. But that was somewhat of a double-edged sword. "You don't actually get to bounce opinions off people," Ford design boss Moray Callum said to Automotive News. "We were on tenterhooks ourselves until the first people saw it." Even now, there are still mysteries surrounding the GT. There's still no official word on the supercar's power; just that it's over 600 horsepower. There are also the persistent rumors going back months that the Blue Oval plans to take the GT racing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of automaker's Le Mans victory. Although, maybe this time the secrecy wasn't so good because we might have got a glimpse of the racer, recently. Related Video:

Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
