1965 Ford Falcon Miles 102,860
I purchased this car about a year ago from an older gentleman in Georgia just as you see it. He had done quite a bit of work to it until medical problems shut him down. My intentions were to build it into the first car I ever owned which was a 1964 Futura V8 4 speed bench seat, blue on blue. A motorcycle wreck has changed my plans as well. I do not want this car just sitting for another year or two while I recover from back surgery, its had too much work and too nice to sit and start deteriorating.
About the car, it runs great and drives well also. When I purchased the car it had up to date tags and insurance certificate so he must have been driving it on a regular basis. Most of the body work has been done; there are still a few areas that need to be taken care of but nothing major. For a 50 year old car it is in great shape with no major rot.
The following information is from documentation he sent with the car that was performed in 2011 2012 by different shops and him:
Installed rebuilt 5.0 roller engine - Installed rebuilt C4 transmission - New transmission crossmember - New gas tank and fuel lines - New wiring harness - Keyless remote doors and trunk - Install Hurst Shifter - Install new exhaust system - New electric fuel pump - New radiator New Edelbrock 4bbl carburetor New aluminum intake manifold New starter, started solenoid, alternator, distributor, wires and plugs New motor mounts New air shocks on rear All new hoses and engine fan All new rear brakes, drums and cylinders New drive shaft and u-joints. It looks like front end work has been performed by the look of the tie rod ends and such.
Trunk and engine compartment have prepped and painted. The car has 4 new 175/70R/14 tires mounted on the newer style Magnum 500 wheels with the trim ring. Body lines are laser straight that I have tried to illustrate in the pictures. All windows roll up and down as supposed to and the interior is fairly new.
I have quite a few spare/needed parts pictured. The good thing about parts for the 64-65 Falcon, this was the platform the 64-65 Mustang originated. Other than the obvious body panels/glass etc. all of the chassis parts, engine compartment, window, door and interior parts are interchangeable. I will post pictures of all extra/spare parts I have that go with the car in the next few days.
In this description I have tried to illustrate the car to the best of my knowledge. Like I have said most of the work has been done there is still a bit to go but it wont take much to make a nice little hot rod out of this car.
There is no warranty offered or implied with this vehicle and I reserve the right to end the auction early because I have the car for sale here locally.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this ad. Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Ford's cars being held up in Chinese ports in trade tensions with U.S.
Wed, May 9 2018BEIJING Ford Motor Co's imported vehicles are being held up at Chinese ports, three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, underscoring how U.S. goods are facing increased customs scrutiny in China amid a tense trade standoff. The three people said Ford and Lincoln vehicles were facing unusual delays at customs, with officials asking for extra technical checks. Two of the people said U.S.-made models of some German carmakers, mainly SUVs, being brought into China, were also affected. Ford was being asked to do extra checks on emission components, said a China-based Ford executive familiar with the matter, asking not be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. China's customs agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The holdups add to a growing list of American products facing issues at China's borders, as officials try to avert a full-blown trade war. Some trade experts said they believe Beijing is sending a defiant warning to Washington in response to sweeping U.S. trade demands made on China last week. Reuters reported Tuesday that China had ramped up inspections of pork shipped from the United States, after the country's customs agency said it would step up quarantine checks on American apples and logs. The second person, a China-based industry official with knowledge of the matter, said the delays for Ford Β as well as some U.S.-made cars from BMW and Mercedes-Benz Β had been going on for the last two weeks. "Customs pretends there are technical non-conformities of some nature that won't allow them to clear these U.S.-made cars through customs, but the U.S.-China trade frictions must be the background to this," he said. "Although no one will officially admit it." Responding to a request for comment from Reuters, a BMW spokesman said that "U.S.-made BMW cars have not been delayed at the ports as of last week and before." A Daimler spokeswoman said it was "monitoring the situation closely" regarding ongoing trade talks between China and the United States, but that she could not speculate further on other matters. The third person said the Ford issue, which had been noted by the United States government, and other holdups facing American goods, were clearly related to the trade dispute. A Ford spokeswoman in Shanghai when asked about the matter said: "We are closely monitoring our situation at the port." She declined to comment further.
Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
