ITEM  You are bidding on a customized 1965 Ford Falcon hardtop.  The car has won numerous awards including 1st place in the Modified category at the 2010 Falcon Club of America National meeting in Dearborn, MI.

The car was built in SW North Carolina and has been driven less than 5000 miles since the restoration was completed.  I've owned the car about 4 years and am the second owner since the completion of the build.  The car is a great driver but is usually trailered on long trips to minimize damage to the paint.

The car is powered by a rebuilt 302 CID SBF engine with a 4 barrel Edelbrock carb, a Dan Williams top-loader 4 speed transmission and a Hurst shifter.  The engine breathes through Doug's full length headers, Flowmaster mufflers with the pipes exiting ahead of the rear tires.  A narrowed 8" Ford open rear completes the drive-train.

The exterior features a Crites fiberglass T-bolt style hood, side and rear trim and factory emblems have been removed and custom pin-stripping has been applied to the sides and rear.  Paint is a Sherwin-Williams BC/CC.  A stock steel hood painted to match the car is included with the auction.

The build included a new radiator and hoses and an electric pusher fan mounted in front of the radiator.  The fan has not been connected, but the sale includes a Ron Francis electric fan wiring kit and relay.  The factory wiring harness was removed and a Ron Francis Bare-Bonz wiring harness was installed.  The fuse and relay panel is mounted above the driver's side kick panel and the wiring harness is completely color keyed and labeled.

The interior features Mustang bucket seats with custom upholstery, custom headliner, an engine turned Haneline instrument cluster with TPI instruments, a custom aluminum dash insert on the passenger's side, new carpet with dynamat underlayment, a Pioneer radio, a custom console and a Grant steering wheel.

The windshield was replaced with the build and all new window seals, weatherstripping and window fuzzies were installed.  The rear window has a blemish and another used rear window is included with the sale.

The car rides on 17" Billet Specialties Fast Lane wheels and BFG G-Sport tires.  Front tires are 205/50-17R and the rears are 245/45-17R.

The rear wheel wells have been mini-tubbed and the rear springs have been relocated inside the rear frame rails. Subframe connectors have been installed.  At one point, the car was being built as a drag racer but the prior owner purchased it and built it as a pro-touring style street car. The stock fuel tank had been removed, the trunk floor filled, a 14 gallon fuel cell installed and braces were installed in the trunk in anticipation of drag racing the car. The braces and fuel cell could be removed, a stock type gas tank could be installed and the trunk could be finished to match the custom interior if a future owner wishes.

The prior owner had the car appraised in 2009 and it was valued at $35,000.  Since owning the car, I have installed a new Optima red-top battery, a reproduction 5 blade fan and heavy duty shroud, both emergency brake cables, Beam seat belts, reproduction hood hinges, a new clutch kit, pressure plate, TOB, dual reservoir master cylinder and a Wilwood proportioning valve and had the car pin-stripped.

The only issues with the car is a slight water leak on the driver's side, the blemish on the rear window, the passenger side courtesy light switch needs to be replaced ($10 part) and the heater fan has quit working recently.  The heater fan has just quit working and I have not had a chance to locate the problem. 

I have a clear Virginia title for the car.  The car is located in Richmond, Virginia.  I've described the car as best as I can and I would urge interested bidders to inspect the car in person.  Weather permitting, the car will be at the Ford Fever Classic show at Budd's Creek Dragway (Maryland International Raceway) on Saturday, November 9th for your inspection.  Send me a message if you plan to see the car there and I will give you my cell phone number.

The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  I have listed the car with a reserve and I will not reveal what the reserve price is.  I will say that the reserve price is considerably less than the apprised value.

Check my eBay rating and bid with confidence.

SHIPPING  If the successful bidder does not want to drive the car home, he will be responsible for selecting a shipper and for all costs associated with shipping the car to a new location.  I will work with the shipper of your choice to coordinate pick-up.

PAYMENT  A $1000 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the close of the auction.  Please don't bid if you must arrange financing or if you do not have permission from your wife to buy the car.  Final payment is due within 7 days of the close of the auction.  Final payment must be made with cash or a wire transfer to my bank account.  If using a wire transfer, the car and title will not be released until my bank notifies me that the money has been credited to my account.

Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
