You are looking at a restored 1961 Ford Falcon 2 door sedan.  This car has been mechanically and costmetically restored by the owner.  The owner is a very good friend of mine, I am helping him sell it, he has no computer skills.  He has owned this car for almost 40 years, he bought it when he was 15, it was his first car.  Over the years, it has been built into an incredible muscle car.  It looks, runs, and drives mint!  Here is a list of what has been done to the car:

Engine:

302 Windsor engine, completely re-built by local machine shop, bored .30 over to 306 cubic inches.  Crankshaft was cut, chamfered, polished, and rotating assembly was fully ballanced!  TRW forged pistons, 10:1 compression ratio, runs on pump gas.  Chrome moly rings,  Lunati hydraulic cam and lifters, High volume oil pump, Adjustable rockers, 351 Windsor heads, completely re-built, ported and polished, three angle valve job, Manley valves, screw in studs with guide plates, hardened push rods, double roller timing chain.  Edelbrock Torquer intake manifold, 600 Holley dual feed, double pumper, Mallory ignition, Accell electronic distributor, 351 exhaust manifolds (jet hot coated), custom dual exhaust with turbo mufflers.  Everything on the engine is proffesionally powdercoated, and it looks awesome.  You could eat off of this motor.  The motor has about 5000 miles on it since it was re-built and installed in the car.  It runs awesome!

Drivetrain:

4 speed manual transmission, completely rebuilt, all steel bellhousing, 11 1/2" high performance clutch and flywheel, completely re-built 3:55 ratio, limited slip rear axle.

Converted to 1 wire chrome alternator, battery was re-located to trunk, has new 3 core heavy duty radiator with electric fans, new Edelbrock aluminum water pump, has dual master cylinder with all new re-built drum brakes front and rear.  Drive shaft has high performance u-joints and was speed ballanced.  All 4 tires are new, high performance radials.

Suspension:

Completely re-done with all new ball joints, all new control arm bushings, heavy duty coil springs, heavy duty leaf springs, all new shocks!

Interior:

The owner spent over $5000 and had the interior completely re-finished by Top Stitch Upholstery Inc. They did all new seats, door panels, kick panels, carpets, headliner, everything. The dash board and the tops of the doors were all re-painted in basecoat clearcoat, and look better than new.  The floor pans were coated in bedliner spray, and look perfect under the carpets.

Body:

The owner of this car owns a body shop and has been painting cars since he was a teenager.  This car was stripped down to bare metal and completely re-finished.  The body is laser straight, and looks better than new.  The paint is DuPont basecoat/ clearcoat and it looks awesome.  The color is called Corinthian White.  I could not find one flaw in it, and it shines like new.  It has color coded bumpers, and grille.  The tail lights, door handles, emblems, were powdercoated also. 

 

This car is a turn-key muscle car that is ready for somone to drive and enjoy.  I drove it myself, and it runs and drives amazing.  It rides great, and has plenty of power for such a light car.  It is lots of fun!  It hits the road great, and sounds good too.  It's not too loud with the turbo mufflers, but it has a nice rumble!  It needs nothing!  I would be happy to show anyone the car, please e-mail me and we will set it up.

Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant

Sat, 20 Jul 2013

Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.

Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]

Sun, 16 Jun 2013

In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
