*NO RESERVE AUCTION!*





 1965 falcon convertible. pretty rare car. Most falcons out there for sale are 64's.hard to find very solid old ford. It is currently a running, driving, registered car. It has just had a valve job, electronic ignition conversion, new fuel pump, new carburator, and battery. Just had a brand new set of whitewall tires put on it.   We also just replaced the rear leaf springs and hangers with new bushings.  Drives and runs pretty well but I would assume the rest of the suspension may very well be original. I wouldn't see a problem driving it home however it is still an old car so anything can happen.  Has a power top that works very well. all lights, turn signals, etc work. The original radio even works still!!        the worst parts of the car are the chrome is flaking off the rear bumper and the trunk lock is missing in action..lol   The top works great and is all there but likely the original or a replacement a long time ago. it works but is in need of replacement if car was to be restored.      From what I have found the pictures below show the only rust which is on the bottom of the inner rocker. probably a 2x6 inch area or so on both sides where it is thin.  the trunk, floors, quarters and everything else look to be solid.  Body is absolutely solid, doors do not sag when they are opened like most convertibles out there for sale.  The car was originally the dark IVY green.  Looks like it was repainted red a LONG time ago.  it does have a cool patina to it and gets alot of attention when we cruise it around.   All of the glass and top window is there and in place. The windshield has a rock chip in it but other than that the glass is in nice condition.


I have represented the car to the best of my knowledge and will meet any bidder for a preview no problem.   On cars this old a lot of condition items are subject to each persons opinion. What I may think is horrible you may not.  I try to make sure the car is well represented so the buyer will be pleasantly surprised when it arrives.  The car is for sale locally and is subject to sale prior to end of auction. We offer transportation assistance for overseas buyers. Flat rate of $200.00 in addition to close price, to transport it the port of oakland ca. We also work directly with a excellent transport company(no brokers) for delivery in the states.

 A deposit of 500.00 is due immediatly at end of auction for winning bidder!  If you do not agree to this do not bid please. Please do not hesitate to call or message me with any questions. 916-740-9438

Thanks, and HAPPY BIDDING!!!

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting

Tue, 13 May 2014

It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.

Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.

Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled

Wed, Apr 27 2016

The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles in North America to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codes Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission and include certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb.
