1965 Ford Falcon Futura 302 No Rust Straight Car on 2040-cars
Siletz, Oregon, United States
1965 Ford Falcon Futura. This is a straight Falcon purchased in Reno, NV. Dave was told by previous owner that it was the owner of circus-circus's car originally (no documentation though), and that he's the third owner. I believe this car has been garaged its whole life. I can say with certainty that it's been garaged the last 8 years.Dave built this car for speed, and was only allowed one pass at the Woodburn Oregon drag strip. It ran in the 10's and was told to get it back on the trailer until I put a roll cage in.
OK, Let's start with the engine. It has a 302 bored .30 over, trick flow iron heads, headers, 9 qt. Moroso oil pan, Weiand dual plane manifold, holley 650 cfm carb, Mallory distributor and wires, Earls fittings, hoses, and filter, x-system exhaust with supertrapps, driveshaft loop, three speed automatic transmission with B&M ratchet shifter, 4.56 gears with limited slip, and an eight inch rear end.It has heavy duty springs, traction bars, and battery mounted in trunk. The interior has stock headliner and rear seat in good shape for age. The front is two racing bucket seats with 4 pt. harness. It has after market guages mounted underneath the dash (check pics) no radio installed The exterior is rust free, and the body is pretty straight. (Once again, check pics) We tried to point out little flaws, but they're hard to see in the pics.The door locks, and the antenna are missing, as you can see in the pics. The tires have 95% of the tread left. Extras included with the car are straight rust free front left and right fenders, stock hood, and stock rear end. The car has a clear title. The only other item I've sold worth more than a couple hundred bucks, was Dave's 1940 Indian motorcycle a couple years ago. So, he told me he'd be willing to do a no reserve with low starting price. The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Dave did say, that if a bid is in, he'll honor it, and not end the auction. At end of auction 500.00 paypal deposit required, and we can make pick up or shipping arrangements. Any questions, and I won't be surprised if there are some, call Dave at 541-270-7699. You may have to leave message, but he'll get back to you. You can ask questions here, and if I can't answer, I'll get the answer from Dave. This is a nice car that won't disappoint. Odometer says almost 70,000, but may, or may not be correct. Please check out the video on youtube. On search put in 1965 ford falcon Futura 302 Thanks for looking. |

Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]
Wed, Dec 31 2014UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
