1960 Ford Falcon Two Door Coupe on 2040-cars

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.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."

2016 Ford Explorer configurator reveals $30,700* base price, Platinum starts at $52,600*

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The a la carte menu for the 2016 Ford Explorer is ready for your... umm... exploring. The first page of the refreshed model's configurator reveals the lineup, including the new Platinum trim, and price increases for three of the carryover models. The base Explorer doesn't change by one red cent: it can still be had for $30,700. The XLT needs $33,400 (a $400 price bump), the Limited goes for $41,300 (a not insignificant $2,900 price increase), and the Sport requires $43,300 (a $200 increase). That new Platinum model goes where no Explorer MSRP has gone before, beginning at $52,600 (*all prices are subject to an $895 destination charge). However, since Ford has put almost everything in it, you can't jack the price up too much further unless you lose your mind in the accessories catalog. You can quickly head that way lower down the order, though. The Limited's price jump appears to be due to the voice-activated navigation system, which comes standard; it was formerly part of a $2,600 option package. The Limited goes up by just $995 when specced with the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost, which raises the power over the 2.0-liter EcoBoost it replaces to 270 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, but doesn't incur any fuel economy penalty. All-wheel drive tacks on another $2,000, safety features like active park assist and lane departure warning come as part of $3,000 Equipment Group A, and you'll still have another three pages of options to get through. On the other hand, if you just want to get your family bundle into an Explorer without spending a bundle, the base model doesn't offer any packages and only has one option over $200. Let the research begin.
