I am selling this car for my father. He is 89 years young and has dementia. He built this car about 7 years ago to drive and enjoy. I helped with a lot of the work so I know the car well and I will be totally honest. The good : this was originally a 6 cylinder car and he put everthing from a 65 comet in it to convert it to a V8 car. It even has the Comet steering column and steering wheel in it. It has a 289 with a c4. The motr runs pretty good but it is a little cold blooded. once it warms up for a few minutes it does better. The car has only been driven about 30 miles over the last three years. The car gets a lot of looks and has overall good appeal. The interior has JC Whittney seat covers and door panels. There is a new black dearborn dash pad that was put on right before he stoped driving. The quarter panels were repaired welding in new patch panels. The windshield wipers and the am radio do work in this car. As does the dome light. The four tires on the ground were replasced about 2 years ago and still have the stubbys sticking out the top.
The bad : When the car was done, there floor pans were rusty and the rust was cut out. Instead of welding in new floor pans, he opted to screw down patch panels. He tared it in so it don't leak and the floors are solid. The drivers side rear frame rail had some rust and he cut it out and installed a new piece. He could afford to have the bumpers chrome plated so he opted to paint the existing ones. The bolts were welded to the bumper and shaved off for a cleaner look. The bumpers will unbolt so chrome ones can be put back on at a later date. The glass is all good but there is overspray residue on the front windshield. Not real bad but on a summer morning or evening it may come into play. The power styeering pump leaks. A new one can be bought for about $250. The rear end did come from another falcon that had a automatic transmission. It works fine. The front fenders do have some bondo in them on the leading edge from rust above the headlights but it is not easy to see. Again, i am trying to be totally honest here. The engine compartment is not detailed out but is presentable. The driver side valve cover started leaking resently and i haven't tried to tighten it down yet. It will need a new gasket I'm sure. The brake pads are good, but I noticed the master cylinder and wheel cylinders were rebuilt, not replaced. I would recommend whoever buys this car to upgrade to a dual master cylinder in place of the single.
I will answer all questions |

Watch Tanner Foust hustle the Fiesta ST 'round the 'Ring
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The last time we saw Tanner Foust at the Nürburgring he was sloshing an SVT Raptor from kerb to kerb. Sticking with Ford but swapping keys, this time the drift champion and Top Gear USA host goes to the opposite end of the manufacturer's tuner garage and plucks a Fiesta ST for 'Ring duty.
The 179-horsepower front-wheel-driver acquits itself well by the end of the video. But be warned, Foust doesn't set a 'Ring time and it's shot like a commercial... because that's what it is. Still, you can enjoy all two minutes and 31 seconds of it below.
Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
