1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Futura. Convertible. Barn Find. Original. Patina. on 2040-cars
Brandon, Mississippi, United States
1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Futura convertible. Car is showing 95,000 miles. I do not have a title.. Bill of sale only. In Mississippi, in 1964, this car did not have to have a tilt for the original owner. To register it now I would have to have it bonded. I can get a clear title but it will cost aprox $200.00. This is a literal "barn find". I pulled it out of the barn that it had been setting in since the late 1980's. The guy that I bought it from bought it as a project. He removed the interior, replaced the gas tank and stopped. I had the brakes, master cylinder and lines redone. I had the carb cleaned and adjusted. I put new rubber on the original rims. And now its for sale. It will crank. It shifts out smoothly. It stops very well. Very original. Car has very little rust, the only spot I found was in the back passenger side under the rear seat. No carpet. gauges work. Has most of the trim. Convertible top works very well, smooth up and down. Check out the pictures. It is what it is. I've got a few people very interested in it.... I hope they are watching the auction. Reserve is $5000.00. NO buy it now. Feel free to email with questions. Thank you and good luck. |

Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
