Up for auction is a 1960 Ford Falcon two door coupe.  It has the 144 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder motor with the manual 3 speed shift on the column.  There is no rust on the body.  The driver's side floor pan is rusted through in an area about 1"x4" at its lowest point.  The previous owner patched it with so it does not leak.   Other than surface rust on the bottom of the car, the only other area of rust is at the rear of the right rear wheelwell.  Both of these areas can be seen on the photos below.  There is no rust in the trunk or engine bay areas.

When I got the car both bumpers were painted dark green to match the wheels and interior trim.  They were in good shape with no dents so I had them, as well as the grill, chromed within the past 45 days.  All of the stainless trim around the windows and doors is in very good condition.  All of the glass has the original "Ford" logos.  The windshield does not have any cracks but is pitted from age.  The rest of the glass is in very good condition.  The pivot pins on both vent windows are broken but the windows will shut tightly.  The door glass rattles in the frame as the window tracks are worn.  The paint is good but not a high end paint job.  The tires are brand new and have less than 100 miles on them.  There is a spare wheel that does not have a tire mounted on it.  There is no jack or lug wrench.

The engine starts easily even on cold days.  It has a manual choke and soon settles into an even idle.  There are no hesitations or flat spots on acceleration.  There are small oil drops and a small coolant drop under the car after it sits for awhile.  The clutch works well with no grinding on upshifts or downshifts.  First gear is not synchronized.  The brakes have been recently bled and the pedal is hard when pumped.  However, the first time you hit the brakes, there is some distance before the breaks work.  Once it reaches that point, the car stops well and straight.

The interior is in excellent shape with newly recovered seats, new door panels, new carpet and a new headliner.  The gas gauge reads nearly 1/2 full all of the time and the temperature gauge did not move, although it was very cold the day I drove the car.  The car has one set of keys, an ignition key and a key for the trunk.  The trunk has a carpet liner.  The entire car is very clean including the trunk and engine bay.

Here's the story on why I am selling the car.  Last year I restored a 1964 Corvette coupe.  I took a 1957 Chevrolet 150 on trade plus cash.  I put the '57 Chevy on eBay but it did not meet my reserve.  The high bidder called me after the auction was over and wanted to trade cars.  I did not really want a 1960 Falcon but we eventually agreed on a difference figure that worked for both of us.  Now I want to sell the Falcon to cash out of my Corvette.  I have not driven the car very much but it appears to be a reliable car.  As I said earlier, it always starts on the first turn.  It drives well down the road and does not pull to either side.  The guy that traded it to me drove it often and said it never let him down.  I have a clear North Carolina title for the car in my name.

I have taken a bunch of photos of the entire car including the bottom and the can be seen at:  http://s188.photobucket.com/user/jerhofer/library/1960%20Ford%20Falcon?sort=3&page=1

The car is sold as is with no warranty.  If you have questions, please give me a call at 704-657-8320.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

2016 Ford Mustang SVT hides big power under its domed hood

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

With a number of 2015 Ford Mustang versions finally available to configure, the fun of speculating about next year's high-performance 'Stang can now begin. It looks like Ford has something seriously fun planned too. One of our spy photographers just snapped some fresh pics of the 2016 Mustang SVT, which is believed to be hiding the final body shape under all of that heavy camouflage.
Ford clearly doesn't want prying eyes looking at its new pride and joy. It would be hard to put much more obfuscation on a car than this one wears - it even has mesh baffles around the exhausts to conceal how many there are and panels over the wheels to hide their design. However, the Blue Oval can't keep everything a secret. The biggest clue that something special is hidden underneath is the massive hood bulge and vent in front of it. Clearly, whatever is under there is hungry for cool air. The shape of the camo indicates that there may be fender vents on each side, and there are also obscured outlets behind the front wheels likely to pull cool air through the brakes. At the rear, the concealment does its job, making it hard to observe any big changes. The fact that Ford wants it kept such a secret might indicate something, though.
A few photos of the interior show far less cover than the outside. You can easily make out the model's 6,500 rpm redline with a possible 7,000 rpm over-rev function. The big Recaro sport seats also look quite supportive.

Ford Mustang GT350R adds a lot more than just a new letter [w/videos]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Okay Chevrolet, the ball is in your court. Ford served up one hell of a rebuttal to the track-focused Camaro Z/28, introducing the limited-production Mustang GT350R, complete with over 500 horsepower, over 400 pound-feet of torque and freaking carbon-fiber wheels. Carbon-fiber wheels. Seriously. It's because of those 19-inch hoops, along with some other changes, that Ford was able to slice 130 pounds from the already lightweight GT350 Track Pack. The wheels are responsible for a 13-pound reduction in unsprung weight per corner, while the removal of such superfluous things like the air conditioning, stereo, rear seats, trunk carpet, backup camera and tire inflator accounts for the rest of the weight reduction. Along with the lower weight, Ford has thoroughly reworked the GT350's aerodynamics, adding a simply monstrous rear wing and diffuser, along with vented wheel wells, a new hood vent that both extracts heat and reduces lift. Beside the aero aids, Ford has shod the carbon-fiber wheels in ultra-grippy Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, just to guarantee the shiny side remains up. View 21 Photos Ford retained the standard GT350's 5.2-liter, flat-pane V8, Torsen limited-slip differential (complete with a 3.73 rear axle ratio), although as power figures haven't been published for the standard car, there's no way to know whether the GT350R received a power bump. What we do know, though, is that the GT350R will not be limited to the track. While that's certainly its natural habitat, owners will be able to register and drive this monster on public roads. Take a look at the official press release on the GT350R, available below. And also be sure to have a peek at both Ford's stock photos of the new car, as well as our full gallery of live images, direct from the Blue Oval's Detroit Auto Show press conference home at Joe Louis Arena.
