1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible. Only 4276 of the Falcon Sprint Convertible with factory 4 speed, 260 V8, bucket seats and console made. Original motor, transmission and rear end. Motor has been rebuilt and bored 30 over. Two barrel carb with electric points. Still has generator. Still has original tack mounted on dash. No air conditioner and no power steering. Was taken completely apart and placed on a rotisserie and sanded top and bottom in 2010. Had one little rust spot lower right quarter panel and was replaced with a patch panel. New top, new interior, new dash pad, new carpet and new windshield. All new rubber seals on windshield and doors. All chrome has been refinished. I have the original 13 inch wheels and wire hub caps that came with the car when new. I have put 14 inch smoothies on the car, they just looked better than the 13’s. Many new parts just too many to list. I have lots of pictures of car during restoration, and will be glad to send via email if requested.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival

Sun, 14 Sep 2014

To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
