What you're bidding on is probably the 'cutest' car I own, yet unfortunately the most expendable. 


This 62 Falcon is the perfect starter-car for jr. car guys, or someone who just loves the body style and likes cruising with the six cylinder fuel economy.

Sheetmetal/Structure
The shock towers are solid - which is where all Ford guys check first. The front clip is solid. Floors have some superficial holes that have been cut out, and I will weld them in prior to anyone inspecting or purchasing car. Everything structural is sound. Floor is otherwise pretty solid. There's some bubbling on the bottoms of the quarters. Deck lid, trunk area, gas tank, etc, are all in good condition. 

Exterior
Body is semi-straight and semi-solid. The passenger door has a crease on the edge and the paint is doing the normal lacquer bubble all over the car. It appears to be grabber blue with the original blue peaking through on the deck lid. Grille is complete, no damage. Bumpers have some pitting, but still shine up some. 

Glass is all there, some clouding on the back window. 

Interior is a... well, I've straightened it out from the mess. The back seat is out of a later falcon, but it fits, and the front buckets look like minivan seats. It has an automatic shifter out of a Granada or Fox body. Someone tried to recover the door panels, but they're fairly straight and not stained or scuzzy. Needs headliner for sure. Also, I've got a brand new ACC rubber floor mat (carpet delete) and matching black wal-mart seat covers to match .


Mechanically - ran great when before parked. brakes are new, previous owner ran new lines, later 6 cylinder has electric ignition, idles smooth. Carb needs rebuilt and I will throw a kit in it before it leaves. Oh, I bought two new tires for it in 2008 before I parked it. they'd have like 7 miles on them. 

Like I said, it's no show car, but it's an easy project, no damage anywhere . Just tune it up and go.

Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.

Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
