1964 Ford Falcon Futura 302 W/t5 (5 Speed) on 2040-cars

Year:1964 Mileage:75000

Santa Ana, California, United States

Santa Ana, California, United States

Up for auction is my 1964 Ford Falcon Futura.  I have owned this car for about five years.  I originally bought the car as an I6 automatic and, over the course of about a year, converted it to a 302 V8 5 Speed.  

This car runs and drives great.  The transmission shifts very smoothly and the engine generates great power.  It's got a custom exhaust which is not too loud but will get your attention when you get on the motor.  With the front disc brakes and larger drums the car stops very well.  The car always runs at 180 to 185 degrees; never had any kind of cooling issues.  The car has been "adult" owned; no racing nor has it been driven hard.

The following is a list of modifications I've made to the car since I've owned it:
  • 302 of a 78 Ford Granada.  Heads were rebuilt to accomodate a different cam
  • Comp Cams 278H cam
  • Double roller chain / timing gears
  • High volume oil pump
  • HEI Distributor w/Ford Racing Wires
  • Edelbrock 1406 carburetor (600 cfm) w/electric choke
  • Weiand dual plane aluminum intake manifold
  • Ford Racing aluminum water pump
  • Hedman Headers
  • Aluminum Radiator (180 degree thermo)
  • World Class T5 transmission from a "fox body" Mustang (5 Speed)
  • Ford Racing clutch, flywheel pressure plate
  • Hurst stick shift
  • 8" Maverick Rear End (3.00 gears); rear end housing was powder coated black
  • Ford Grandard front disc brakes; new front hoses
  • New dual master cylinder
  • 2.5" Exhaust w/Magnaflow Mufflers
  • Auto Meter gauges (tachometer, voltage, oil pressure, temperature)
  • New engine bay wiring harness
  • Newer Interstate battery
  • V8 steering conversion done (pitman arm, idler arm, center link, upper and lower control arms); larger diameter sway bar
  • New suspension (front and rear springs, tie rods, etc).
  • New driveshaft
  • Rear air shocks with external fill
  • Floor pans coated in POR-15 and Dynamat
  • Newer tires with a lot of tread
  • New interior front / rear panels, new carpet
  • Rear trunk mat and fresh trunk seal
  • All windows and chrome are on the car.  The chrome is original, looks very nice, but is not show quality. 
The following items are included in the auction but not installed on the car:
  • California Car Cover
  • Door seal rubber (enough for both doors)
  • Interior edging trim (e.g. trim which goes around the door openings)
The car is in good condition but there are some issues which I will note here:
  • The original color of the car was Wimbeldon white.  A previous owner painted it the color it is now which is a brighter white.  I would say the paint is a 5 out of 10.  It is presentable but nowhere near show quality
  • The speedometer and odometer are not connected.  The T5 housing is for an electronic speed
  • There is a small oil leak from the rear of the pan
  • There is a small leak from the rear end
  • The front windshield has a faint scratch from the passenger side wiper.  There is also a small divet in the windshield at the bottom of the passenger side
  • The horn does not work
  • The blinker switch does not have a "reset" (e.g. when you turn the wheel the blinker will not go off - you need to move the stick back)
  • There is a slight bend in the rear bumper from a previous owner.  
  • The letter "A" is missing from the rear deck.  I refused to buy a Chinese made letter and was not able to find an OEM one to replace it.
  • There is a slight crease in the lower rear fender on the driver's side (you can see that in the pictures)
  • Driver's side door plunger needs to be reconnected; does not affect the operation of the lock
  • Small rip in the carpet on the passenger's side floor (about two inches)
For the high bidder a deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction.  Payment must be received within 7 (seven days) of the end of the auction.  The winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements including carrier and cost.  

I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL AS A FORM OF PAYMENT.  I WILL ACCEPT CASH, MONEY ORDERS, CASHIERS CHECKS AND WIRE TRANSFERS.  ALL FUNDS MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS SHIPPED.

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

280-bhp Elemental RP1 revealed, now with bike-engine option

Thu, Jun 26 2014

The Elemental RP1 might be Britain's next big boutique roadster success story. Designed by a team with Formula One experience, it aims to mix road car drivability with racecar performance in a single, adaptable package weighing less than 1,000 pounds. It was first previewed a few weeks ago, but the secrecy has finally disappeared due to its upcoming debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The backbone of the RP1 is a carbon fiber and aluminum tub onto which the front and rear subframes bolt on. Inside, it has an F1-like, feet-up driving position that allows for additional underfloor aerodynamic aids to improve downforce. Despite its hardcore nature, Elemental says that it wants the car to be very user friendly. Buyers should be able to drive the RP1 to the track, adjust it with some wrenches, go racing and drive it home. The company even claims the storage areas to either side of the engine offer enough room for a helmet and other racing gear. Hopefully, buyers don't crash, though, otherwise they might be stuck. Elemental is adding two more engine options for the RP1, as well. In addition to the previously announced tuned Ford 2.0-liter EcoBoost with 280 horsepower, buyers can also choose a upgraded version of Ford's three-cylinder 1.0-liter EcoBoost or a model aimed at pure track use with a 999cc Honda Fireblade motorcycle engine. The 2.0-liter uses a six-speed sequential manual gearbox, and a limited-slip differential and alternate gear sets are available as additional options. The first RP1s built will be pure racers for the 2015 season, and the first road cars will follow in the early summer of next year. Pricing isn't set yet, but scroll down for more details and full specs of Britain's latest feather light car for road and track. Introducing the Elemental Rp1 Press Release: 23/6/2014 British sports car manufacturer, Elemental Motor Company Limited, today released further details of their new and innovative, road legal track car, the Rp1. The Rp1 is an open top, road legal, mid engined sports car that incorporates state of the art road and race car technologies. Designed, Engineered and Built by a team with decades of experience in the Formula One and Supercar industries, it brings the concept of a road legal track car firmly into the 21st Century. The Rp1 will be revealed to the public for the first time, this weekend, at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it will located in the Moving Motor Show tent "First Glance" display.
