I'm selling my restored 1969 Ford Falcon. It's been a great car for me over the last year and a half, but I need something a little more fuel efficient. We've basically replaced everything in the car aesthetically and mechanically. This includes:

-New polyurethane paint job with original color
-Rebuilt engine with less than 5,000 miles on it since the rebuild
-Reupholstered seats to match original seats
-New carpet to match original flooring
-New headliner to match original headliner
-New stereo with Aux input and radio. The stereo face looks just like the original radio that was in the car.
-New harmonic balancer
-New alternator
-New high performance radiator
-New tires put on it a few months ago with probably a little over 80% of its life left on it
-New battery put in it yesterday
-New brake shoes put on about 1,000 miles ago
-New brake lines

It's still not perfect. The bumpers need to be re-chromed and some metal parts in the interior need to be repainted, but I have the paint for the interior if you want it. Other than that, just about everything is restored. It's been my daily driver for a little over a year now and it's been very reliable ever since we got everything fixed on it. It still has under 100,000 original miles on it. It's at 96,500 right now, but it is my daily driver so that number will slowly increase.

This car is perfect for anyone looking for their first classic car. Parts are very easy to come by because they are interchangeable with Mustang parts. It also gets pretty good gas mileage for how old it is. The 3.3L Inline 6 engine has been getting me right around 18-20 mpg when I drive conservatively. It's also a great attention grabber. Every time I drive this car, I always have somebody compliment it. So if you're looking for a reliable and good looking classic car, this is the car for you!

Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
