This is a beautiful original Western Falcon Squire Wagon (81,xxx original miles) that underwent a restoration two summers ago. The engine is a 200 cid motor that has been rebuilt and has some trick aftermarket "go fast" parts on it to give it plenty of up and go power. Has a Clifford header exhaust on it and a two barrel carb with a GM distributor. These parts alone were $1300+ and it makes a big difference in performance. Dual exhaust help the motor breath nicely. The engine bay is completely detailed and shows great.
The exterior is a base/clear paint. The paint color is dark green metallic with 5 coats of clear had rubbed and buffed to a nice glassy finish. The paint also shows really nice at shows.
The interior was completely gutted and new custom color carpet added, and new leather 2010 Mustang adjustable bucket seats were added for a comfortable ride. The rear fold-down factory seat was taken to a custom upholstery shop and matched to the front buckets. When folded down., there is a wood deck that is in the back part of the interior making it really nice inside. New headliner, all rubber trim, door panels, chrome handles etc are all new. Custom console with gauges round off the interior.
This is a show winner at every show it attends and the last show I was parked next to a $100,000 built 68 Mustang and this Falcon had a crown around it the whole show...the poor guy next to me was a little pissed that my little Falcon Wagon was the hit of the show!...It's rare rare to have one in this condition. The floors are original and rust free as it the rest of the ford sheet metal.
The wood accents on the exterior were hand painted and cleared to make them have more of a "woody" look., and most people thing they are wood....(even though they are fiberglass) The rear back up lights are NOS units (do not work) and the rear window is electric and is controlled from the dash.
To see more on this beauty., I have built a website with a ton of photos and more descriptions. You can view the site at:
(EBAY WILL NOT LET ME PUT A LINK ON HERE TO MY WEBSITE WITH 80 PLUS IMAGES AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION of this falcon..., SO PLEASE EMAIL ME TO GET THE LINK, YOU WILL SEE A LOT MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS)
Don't let this one pass you by...selling only to fund the opening of our car shop...so need some start up cash...It's a shame that I built this car so nice and have to sell it sooo soon. I am kind of a perfectionist, and this car is detailed to the hilt. inside and out.
Thanks., Guy

Ford F-150 pulls semi truck through snow-clogged Chicago streets
Wed, Feb 4 2015Earlier this week, the Midwest was crippled by a massive snowstorm that dumped a foot or more of powder in some areas. The result was, of course, transportation gridlock. It's a fortunate thing for this stranded semi-truck driver, then, that a Ford F-150 EcoBoost stumbled upon him. Despite a tow rating of just over 11,000 pounds, the four-wheel-drive, turbocharged pickup managed to dislodge the big rig from a snow-covered street. Of course, the Ford didn't get the semi moving all on its own – watch the video towards the end and the semi was quite clearly spinning its rear tires. Still, it's an impressive feat that we've little doubt F-Series fans are celebrating. Related video:
GM being sued over imploding Bosch fuel pumps in Duramax diesel trucks
Fri, Aug 9 2019Texas-based law firm Hilliard Martinez Gonzalez (HMG) this week filed a class-action lawsuit against General Motors over an alleged issue with Bosch CP4 fuel pumps. The suit claims Bosch designed the CP4 pump to work with European diesel fuel, which is thicker than U.S. diesel. When GM installed that pump in the 6.6-liter Duramax engine used from the 2011 to 2016 model years, the lawsuit claims the thinner U.S. fuel didn't provide enough lubrication, allowing air pockets to form in the fuel pump. That, in turn, allegedly let metal rub against metal inside the pump, causing the pump to eventually disintegrate and "send thousands of metal shards into the fuel injection system and every part of the engine." The Detroit News reported on the most recent lawsuit filed in Michigan's Eastern District Court, but the case is another piece of nationwide legal maneuvering going on since at least last September. Every U.S. truck maker used the Bosch CP4 fuel pump, and HMG originally went after all of them, as well as Bosch. On September 30, 2018, HMG filed a class-action suit in Texas on behalf of eight plaintiffs. The law firm wanted to prosecute the affair under RICO — the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — and named 10 defendants: FCA US LLC, FCA North America Holdings, LLC, F/K/A Chrysler Group, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, N.V., Ford Motor Company, General Motors LLC, Robert Bosch GmbH, Robert Bosch LLC, VM North America, Inc., and VM Motori S.P.A. The firm filed another suit in Florida on Nov. 2, 2018, against the same 10 defendants, again under the RICO statute, this time on behalf of more than 30 plaintiffs. We don't know how many other suits might have been filed, but the two suits mentioned apparently didn't have legs — the courts dismissed both quickly. So HMG shifted its strategy away from the RICO angle, and focused its efforts on GM, filing suit in California on Nov. 20, 2018. Instead of trying to catch 10 fish with a small net, HMG wants to score one fish with a big net. The results have borne more promise for the plaintiffs. In July this year, a judge in California denied GM's motion to dismiss, noting "the alleged defect is central to the vehicleÂ’s function." This latest suit filed on Aug. 6 in Detroit singles out GM again. The Bosch CP4 is known to be problematic, however.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
