1963 ford falcon roadster rat rod project

Let me start out by saying this is not my car. I am listing it for a friend of mine that doesn’t have a computer so any and all questions should be directed to him (roger: phone #231-865-7448)

DESCRIPTION: 1963 ford falcon roadster( no top)RAT ROD PROJECT CAR with a 351w out of a 1976 cougar (mileage unknown) and it is backed by a c-4 fmx 3-speed automatic It has a 5 lug ford 8” rear end w/3:00 open gears and a mustang II 5 lug front end with manual front disk brakes. Now this car was born a convertible back 50 years ago and the guy that Roger bought it from had used it for a parts car for the completion of his other convertible so when Roger got it most of the parts were gone but being the visionary guy that he is he built the car that you now see.

Now when Roger bought this car it was the body only. He installed a rear end out of a maverick with the 4-link and the mustang II front end so he could get it sitting on all fours again. He reinforced the original frame with 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 tubing to take the added torque of the 351(motor runs good with no noises or smoke) and put new sheet metal on the floors to make it solid again. He then went all the way thru the brake system and replaced everything to do with the brakes so it is all new from the master cylinder and the front rotors to all the lines to the rear drums everything is new. Then he installed the rear seat out of a dodge caravan and the front buckets came from a fox body mustang. The wheels are key stone classics and the tires are fair. He put in a new front windshield, mirrors,carpet, and made the console and door panels and side panels

He also put in a plastic fuel cell and re-wired the car so all the lights are in working order (but the new gauges still need to be installed and wired)

Included in the sale but not installed is the door glass (the driver’s side is cracked), both side rear windows are in the car and work great. It also includes (if you want to put it back to a convertible) some top bows and the header panel but it needs repaired on the ends do too rust and the windshield wiper motor. He also has 2 quarts of the white paint to go with it and some other parts (pictured but not the steering wheel pictured) that go too. Like I said this is a RAT ROD PROJECT CAR with no warranties or guaranties it has only been lot driven. But if your interested give Roger a call at 231-865-7448 and he can answer any questions about this build.

THIS CAR HAS ONLY BEEN LOT DRIVEN IT HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE ROAD SINCE COMPLETION!!! SO USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT AND BID ACCORDINGLY.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

Ford gets colorful with Mustang anniversary infographic

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Preparing to celebrate its 50th birthday, the Ford Mustang has seen a lot of vehicle trends come and go, and this especially goes for paint colors. Using historical production data, Ford has managed to create an infographic dating back to 1967 that breaks down the three top Mustang colors for each year as well as calling out some of the more interesting trends and colors over the years.
Over its five generations, the Mustang has been offered in a seemingly endless rainbow - from Playboy Pink in '67 and color-changing Mystichrome on the 2004 Cobra - but the most popular has always been red, which is the color of choice for 21 percent of all Mustangs ever made. Almost every year since 1967, red has been among the top three colors for the Mustang, but other popular colors have included blue, white, brown and, most recently, black. There are even websites and registries available for people owning certain-color Mustangs.
As the all-new 2015 Mustang gets ready for its debut later this year, there's no telling what kind of exciting and/or wacky colors Ford has in store. Click on the image above to see the full infographic (choose the "large" option for optimal viewing), or check it out in a smaller size along with the press release posted below.

Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.
