Up for sale is my 1965 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible. It has been my project for the last year. It does run and drive good but needs some finishing. This is on older restoration done back in the 80's, and yes it does have filler in the usual places but looks good but is showing wear in the body and paint. The worst part of the paint is on the right rear quarter panel, a bottle of brake fluid spilled on it while it was in the barn and peeled the paint, otherwise there are scratches and chips from the junk in the barn. I did buff it out and it looks pretty good  but it could eventually use some paint. The windshield is cracked and needs to be replaced. It is a driver not a trailer queen but can be a show car by next spring. I do have the original 289 engine and C4 trans that go with the car if you want it. The 289 was stuck at a valve guide from sitting in a barn for over 25 years. This is an original V8 car with 5 lug suspension, not a converted 6 cylinder car. Some of the work I have done in the last year is: install engine and trans, all new brakes and hydraulic parts, gas tank and sending unit, inner rocker structures, new Edelbrock carb, duraspark ignition upgrade, new carpet, fiberglass bumpers. It still needs interior work, the seats are not original to the car except the top of the back seat. The front split bench is from a Falcon wagon and the base of the rear is also from the same wagon. It isn't a perfect fit but will work until a base is located.  Eventually it will need a repaint. It has headers and dual exhaust to the rear axle, needs tailpipes. The white top is in very nice shape with no tears, even at the pivot points. The power top works well but the pivots need oiling. I don't have all the white inserts that go between the trim. I suggest coming to see the car in person before committing to purchase. I consider this a drivable project. I am selling to pay a few bills and have another car that I would like to start on. Any questions please call me at (262)893-1763

Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.

Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
