1965 Ford Falcon Futura Project Car on 2040-cars
Carlisle, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1965 Ford Falcon, Futura. The car was originally a 6 cylinder automatic (H) code. The car was last registered for the road, in New Jersey, in 1990. The car was disassembled by the previous owner in 2008. The previous owner also started to chemically strip the paint on the rear quarter panels and then lost interest. I purchased the car with the idea of making it into a drag car. I was most impressed by the lack of rust on the inner fenders and fire wall. As far as the body goes the doors are rust free, even on the bottom edge, the front fenders are rust free, the trunk is rust free, the hood is 95% rust free and the rockers are rust free, the roof is rust free also. The bottom of the rear quarter panels had metal put in and the body work was pretty good until the previous owner tried to strip them. The drivers floor pan was patched with sheet metal so its solid but does not look original and the torque boxes need repair. The passenger floor pan has a small area that needs repair and the rear pans are solid. I have all of the glass although one door window glass is broken, the front bumper is straight and looks OK depending on what you plan to do with the car. The rear bumper has some surface rust and a dent that appears easily repaired by a chrome shop. Although it appears most of the trim pieces are there I can't locate the body side trim.
I put this car "loosly" together in about an hour and got the body lines pretty close. With some serious attention the car could pretty straight. It does not appear to have ever been in a serious accident. This car is being sold as a project car. There is some rust, but over all, its a solid car to have some fun with as a race car or rat rod. The original seats are in the car and are in good shape with no tears or mouse nests. I will deliver this car within a 200 mile radius of Carlisle, Pa. for $1.25 per mile. The price is $1,500.00. This is a great project with out getting into a high dollar muscle car. Check out multiple pictures and other services at Tannersclassics.com. The car is offered for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. |

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
2016 Ford Focus RS mule spotted on US soil
Tue, 17 Jun 2014Okay Ford, this is what we like to see. One of our intrepid spy photographers has captured a vehicle that we weren't even sure would see the light of day - the next Focus RS. While this is pretty clearly a mule based on the current Focus ST, as our spy points out, there are a number of giveaways about this hot hatch's true nature.
Indication number one that all is not right with this Focus is the heavily camo'd front fascia, which has been completely reconfigured for duty on the RS. It boasts significantly larger grilles that are meant to accommodate what is likely the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that's destined for the 2015 Ford Mustang. Considering that, then, we can expect around 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque from the hottest of Foci, although it's entirely possible that the production model could climb even higher, to around 330 hp.
The front fascia tweaks are complemented in the back by a modified rear bumper, which fails at hiding a pair of exhaust tips quite unlike the standard Focus ST's center-exit exhaust. Other obvious changes include the wheel/tire/brake package on this particular car. Larger 19-inch wheels are shod in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 235/35/19 while the brakes feature what we think are four-piston calipers, possibly from Brembo, up front.
Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]
Wed, 09 Oct 2013As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.
