Original V8/4spd Manual Trans. Black Plate Car I am pleased to offer this relatively low mileage 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible. Original V8 4spd. Manual Trans. A rather uncommon vehicle (only 4600 made in '63), this Sprint has a long history in the San Francisco Bay Area and has no major issues other than having being rehabilitated from a 20 year slumber. This Falcon was purchased from the original owner, and due to a shift in priorities, it is now available to the market. As a life-long West Coast car from a dry climate, it is as original, straight, and as solid as they come, without accidents. All sheet metal is original and straight, having excellent panel fit/gaps throughout. Sporting blue paint, it appears it had one repaint over the original for cosmetic purposes only. This car is exceptionally original and damage free showing only minimal wear. The car runs and drives well. The interior has not been abused with a few rips, and the top will need to be replaced. The engine bay is clean and correct. The car has been lightly driven since I've owned it and all systems are working properly. It is sold with a clear California title. Offered at a very fair reserve.

The car is very smooth at speed. The car responds quickly and accurately to all driver inputs. The brake system is in good order and the car stops well. The carb does not appear to be original. Body, Paint, and Chrome: This car has received a complete repaint in blue years ago for cosmetic purposes; it appears to be a shade off the original Midnight Blue. The paint is in decent shape and shows minimal wear; a few small chips here and there, and light scale from sitting under a car cover in a carport. The car has excellent eye appeal and always attracts admirers. It is extremely original. This Falcon has never had any serious panel damage or chassis damage, nor rust. Since the car has not had any adverse history and has such good body panels, the panel fit is excellent. The floors, torque boxes, rockers and quarter panels are rust free other than slight discoloration from air. The chrome shows age, has minor pitting, and is in decent condition. All lenses are present and in good vintage condition. The windshield and glass are great. Interior: The entire interior is original and correct. All gauges are functional and working correctly. The dash mounted tachometer is not present and did not come with the car. It is the only piece missing. The bucket seats show some age commiserate with use and have very rips. The carpet is old but not ratty. The top will need to be replaced as it has rips but it is complete and has not been abused. Wheels and Tires: The original matched set of steel wheels are clean and straight. All hubcaps are original and in very good shape. The car exhibits no shimmy or shake at speed. The Goodyear thin white wall tires are old and hold air but should be replaced. Summaration: This Falcon Sprint Convertible is a great little driver and pretty rare. It is extremely original and an honest car showing only wear from years of sitting under a car cover in a carport. It has only cosmetic issues and is a survivor. It runs like a top and is very smooth and strong in all aspects. This particular car has a consistent fit and finish throughout and will maintain it's quality for years to come.

Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns
Tue, Dec 29 2015Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes
Tue, 23 Apr 2013We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).
