1963 Ford Falcon Original Paint 2dr Futura Hot Rat Street Rod Gasser Nice Clean! on 2040-cars
Jefferson City, Missouri, United States
|
Here is a VERY nice and VERY original 1963 Ford Falcon Futura 2dr sedan. This car has been in our family for over 20 years. It has been in indoor storage the past 10 years. Original paint, interior etc. Never restored. Very clean non restored car. 67967 actual miles. My mother drove this car to shows and cruise nights for several years and it has won many awards. Has been setting for 7-8 years. It fired right up with a hot battery and fresh gas less than a week ago. Engine is a 170 CI 6 cyl and sounds like a sewing machine!! Trans shifts good, rearend had new bearings and seals shortly before being parked. Carb had been rebuilt, and could probably use a basic kit from setting, but it did fire up and run, just didnt want to idle well. Brakes also work, but are sticking also due to setting. I think it would be fine with just a wheel cyl kit and fresh fluid. Shoes are good. Tires are like new, but are at least 10 years old. Paint is all original, some typical chips and blems from a 52 years of age, but shines and shows very well. Under side of car is also very clean, just dirt and cob webs from setting. Interior is Excellent for its age, no tears, or damage other than a couple dark age spots here and there, great carpet etc. Very impressive original interior for a car of this age!!! Am radio works as it should, all guages etc also work. E brake, heater, wipers all work as they should. All good glass and seals. 1 small star in windshield, was repaired many years ago, but is visible. All suspension steering etc is still good and tight and works smoothly. Some extra parts include: grill and headlight rings, several extra carbs, extra guage cluster, extra matching hub cap, and some extra body trim, and 2 spare pass side front fenders, and possibly a few other parts I may have forgotten about. This is as clean of an original un-restored old Falcon as you could ask to find. In a short weekend it could be show and cruise night ready. Hate to sell it as it has been in the family a long time, but I can no longer stand to see it just sit. Someone should be out enjoying it. Feel free to call with questions at (573)338-5356. a deposit of 20% due within 48 hours of autions end, and full payment within 5 working days, unless arrangements are made prior to auctions end. I can store free of charge for 40 days as long as it has been paide for. $15 per day after, unless other arragements are agreed upon. I can help load onto a trailer etc, but arrangements are to be made by the purchaser. Im sure I may have missed something, or left something out, so feel fre to ask questions. If you have to ask your wife or girlfriend for permission, please have it BEFORE bidding!!! This car has been in storage for a while, and is NOT road ready, but easily put back on the road, so plaese keep that in mind. Thanks for looking. |

Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
Junkyard Gem: 1971 Mercury Comet 2-Door Sedan
Sat, Sep 10 2022When Ford introduced the original Maverick for the 1970 model year, Dearborn tradition required that a Mercury-badged version be created. That car ended up being the Comet, built from the 1971 through 1977 model years. Here's one of those first-year Comets in rough but recognizable condition, found in a Denver self-service yard not long ago. The Comet name had spent the 1960s affixed to the flanks of Mercurized Ford Falcons (1960-1965) and Fairlanes (1966-1969). Since the Maverick was the successor of the Falcon — sales of which went into an irrecoverable downward spiral once its sportier Mustang first cousin hit the streets — it made sense to move the Comet name over to the Mercury version. Nearly every American Mercury model ever sold was a U.S.-market Ford model with a different name and some gingerbread slapped on. Notable exceptions to this tradition include the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar (mechanically based on the Contour but with a unique body) and the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri (an Australian-built mashup of Mazda components borrowed from the Ford Laser). The Comet was by far the cheapest Mercury model available in 1971, though it was considered more prestigious than its Maverick counterpart. The price tag on the '71 Comet two-door sedan started at $2,217 (about $16,505 in 2022 dollars), while the '71 Maverick two-door sedan cost $2,175 ($16,193 today). Meanwhile, AMC would sell you a new Hornet two-door sedan for one dollar less than a Maverick, Chevrolet had the Nova coupe for a dollar more than the Maverick, and Plymouth offered the Valiant Duster for $2,313 ($17,220 now). Toyota had a Maverick competitor as well that year, with the Corona at $2,150 for the sedan and $2,310 for the coupe. Having driven every one of the aforementioned models, I'd take the Duster if I went back in time and had to choose one (as a 1969 Corona owner, I'm not a fan of the 1971 facelift, though the Corona's build quality beats the Duster's). The build sticker on this car tells us that it was built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant (where Transits and F-150s are made today) and sold through the Los Angeles district sales office (there was a DSO in Denver, so it's a near-certainty that this car didn't start out in Colorado). The paint started out as Bright Blue Metallic (it's neither bright nor metallic 51 years down the road) and the interior was done up in Medium Blue Cloth & Vinyl.
Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
