1964 Ford Falcon Squire Wagon on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
I just bought this wagon last week because I was going to make it into a surf wagon to take to cruises and shows while I'm building my wifes 1957 Buick Hardtop Riviera coupe. Come to find out, I am not really al lthat interested in the "Surf" theme after all and I think I would be happier with a coupe, so I am selling the wagon, no other reason, that's it.
I have a free and clear Florida title in my name, the car is registered to Florida, I have driven it this last weekend, it drove fine for what it is, a 6cyl, manual steering and drum brake wagon. The motor is a little cold natured, it does run fine once it warms up, the transmission works quite well, it is a 2spd I think, to be honest I never drove it over 45 MPH, so I'm not sure. The steering is a little sloppy, but the are not shakes, rattles or weird things happening in the steering as you drive, it tracks straight, does not shimmy when you hit bumps in the road, it brakes straight and does not pull to the side when you brake. No over haeting that I can tell, no snoke, no weird smells, I just went ahead and had the oild changed and the oil was clean, no worries on the motor or trans, and as stated, the brakews work well for drum manual brakes. I think the steering box needsto be adjusted to remove some of the play in the steering wheel. All of the gauges appear to work, the A/C blows cool, not ice cold, but I thin kit just needs to be re-charged. All the belts and hoses look good, the radiator and condenser appear to be in good shape. The fuel pump appears to work fine, but I think it could use some tightening of the fuel line, there is a small amount of leakage, nothing freaky, just needs some tightening which I will lokk into this weekend. The tires appaer to be newer, they are 13", they hold air and ride fine. The body is really pretty good for the age of the car. look at my pictures, I try to show what the bad spots are, the top of the rear quarters fenders have the paint flaking off, and there are two bad spots in the drivers side door and rear door. The pans are very good shape, the doors open and close very well, the interior is in good condition, a couple of small tears , but nothing horrible. All of the glass is good, rolls up and down, the rear tailgate glass does need help getting it up and down, but it does work, I think it needs some lubrecation. the carpet / mats are not great, they could be replaced, the fold down rear set works great, the rear spare and all of the jack and stuff is there, it does rattle a little when you are driving, I will tighten up the mounts, Overall the car is nice and well worth my reserve. I reserve the right to end the auction early because I do have the car listed locally. I will work with a buyer on shipping. I would be willing to deliver it myself within a 150 mile radius for the buy it now price. I would be open to trades for a good driver quality 1960 -1963 Falcon coupe, no 4 doors. And maybe a 1960 - 1965 Chevy II coupe. No motorcycles, boats, land or your Mom's Jewlery. I will be glad to try and answer your questions and Good Luck on the bids. |

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars
Thu, Mar 14 2024In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in. By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards
Fri, 18 Jan 2013This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
