My collection is primarily 1960's/70's European sports cars but I couldn't resist recently taking this fun Ford Falcon beach wagon/movie car in trade from another collector. This car doesn't really fit with my collection so I'm offering it up for sale now. Wow, does this Falcon get attention just driving around town.
This 1964 Ford Falcon 4-door station wagon lived it's entire life in Texas and Florida before being sold to the previous owner in Virginia a year ago. It is clean and rust free except for a very small (size of a nickel) surface spot on the lower end of the rear tailgate. I believe the car was originally all white but the lower part was painted gray. While the photos look great, this is not a show car- it looks lived in with a nice patina that I would keep if I was the next owner. In person the gray is a bit darker than shown in the photos- which were taken this week in bright sunlight. It is, in my mind, a very cool, very rare, surf wagon that will hold it's own next to all the VW Busses on your next cruise to the shore. I'd call it a 20 footer with the usual small dings and marks of a car that has been driven...that said, it would certainly not look out of place at any car show or cruise-in. Chrome is nice all around including the optional Falcon roof rack...The glass is very good all around. The interior, I am assuming, was redone at some point, but looks very original and is very clean. Carpet is dark gray and in very good shape. There are lap belts front and back. All gauges work except for the left turn signal. This wagon has an electric rear window which goes up and down as it should, but sometimes sticks for a second or two. All windows crank as they should, and all doors close tight. Tires are good wide whites with maybe 50% tread left mounted on standard 13 inch rims. The car runs great. It's not fast... but who is in a hurry? ...you're getting the very durable 200 CID 6 cylinder engine mated to the Ford Falcon 2 speed automatic transmission. The odometer and title have about 131,000 miles and I believe it to be accurate. All motor fluids were serviced last fall and less than 500 miles ago. Some nice extra's are included for the new owner: Original 1964 owners manual, 1964 Ford shop manual, the original cylinder head (red), Ford rear mats and a spare original Ford AM radio. The car currently has a neat repro (modern made to look old) am/fm radio with dash top speaker. If all that isn't enough, this Falcon Wagon has the added cache of having had a minor role in a famous movie- "The Rookie", starring Dennis Quaid in 2002. It's the true story of a Texas HS baseball coach who gets a second chance at the major leagues (Google it). In fact, one of the reasons the previous two owners resisted doing any additional cosmetic work on the car is that it still looks exactly as it did in the movie and why mess with a good thing. During a shot from the movie you can see the Falcon towing a small u-haul trailer. I was told the Disney company beefed up the rear end a bit as a result. Otherwise, the car was sold by Disney after use in the movie to an earlier owner in Florida, before it came to Virginia. There's a custom front license plate that you can see in the photo's identifying the car as the same one that was in the movie. Oh... the surf board doesn't go with the car but if you want it- let me know and we can work something out. Also listed for sale locally so the listing may be ended at any time. |

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles
Wed, Jan 15 2014We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
2015 Shelby GT bows in Scottsdale with 627 supercharged ponies
Mon, Jan 19 2015Between the base V6, the EcoBoost turbo four, the eight-cylinder GT, the monstrous GT350 and the new GT350R (to say nothing of transmission and convertible options), muscle-car enthusiasts have a staggering array of Mustangs to choose from. And now there's one more as Shelby American has introduced the new 2015 Shelby GT. Building off the success of the 2007 Shelby GT and the 2013 follow-up, the new 2015 model was just introduced at the Ford booth at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, AZ. It's based on the latest Mustang GT (whether factory fresh or commissioned from an owner's existing pony car) but upgrades with an enviable list of enhancements from Ford Racing Performance Parts, Shelby's own upgrades and top-shelf third-party components. For starters, the engine is supercharged up to 627 horsepower (with over 700 available through further upgrades). It's got 3.73 gears, a Borla exhaust, WELD Racing wheels, Michelin tires and Wilwood six-piston front brakes. Visual enhancements include a carbon-fiber body-kit (including a two-piece rear diffuser) and billet aluminum front grilles. Designed from the get-go to be sold around the world, the 2015 Shelby GT is certified for use in all 50 states and comes with a Shelby American CSM number registered in the company's registry, but all those enhancements don't come cheap: Shelby's charging $39,995 for the new GT, and that's just for the modifications. Add that to the $32k sticker on a Mustang GT donor and you're looking at over $70k – which is not only more than Ford itself is expected to charge for its own GT350, but more than Dodge gets for a Challenger Hellcat.

(CSBI:PK), launched the first global Shelby GT muscle car, which is based on the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT. One of the most popular cars in Shelby history the 627 HP 2015 Shelby GT was unveiled today at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in Ford Motor Company's booth. Shelby is now taking orders with delivery of cars planned for the beginning of the second quarter of 2015.
