This Falcon was restored in the mid-eighties and was used as a show car for local car shows and annual national FCA events (in which it won trophies in stock class) without so much as a hiccup. When I bought the vehicle it had a pretty severe rear main seal leak after driving it from sitting with no use for a couple years when the previous owner could no longer drive it. The 144CID engine seemed tired so I replaced it with a good, extremely low mileage (appx. 5,000 mile) 170CID mill from my other Falcon. I went through the entire car to make sure it was in good tune and drove nicely. I installed an alternator in place of the generator, replaced the radiator, rear shocks, hoses, belts, carburetor, distributor, choke cable, worn column shift mechanism, repainted the steering wheel, and I'm sure I'm forgetting other bits and pieces I went through. It is very pleasant to drive. It starts, stops, rides, and steers as it should. *Be aware this is a manual three speed column shift, meaning the first gear in the transmission is not synchronized if you did not already now that.* It however, is not a perfect car. It is a driver, not a trailer queen. I'd give it a 6.5-7 out of 10 overall visually, and a 9 out of 10 mechnically with 1 being worst and 10 being best. It has an OK paint job, pretty nice trim, bumpers, and a very nice interior. The car needs the underside gone through if you want it 100% perfect. The front floor pans had an older repair job/patch done to them that is solid, but not correct. The rearmost part of the framerails were replaced with new metal. The torque boxes are getting scaly/rusted but aren't gone by any means. It has some very small filler/rust popping here and there in front of and behind the quarters. Just old bodywork and paint showing it's age. The quarters were replaced from the door opening back when it was restored. The car is very solid and can and is driven the way it is. The casual observer wouldn't notice the exterior flaws, and highly I doubt would notice the underbody issues. The underside of this Falcon is pretty good, don't get me wrong, I'm just picky and making sure I describe it as best and truthfully as I can. It is NOT a rust bucket, nor is it perfect. Just a nice looking, reliable, economical way to get into classic cars or just a nice car to take to shows or cruise around town in. If you would like any additional information or pictures, please don't hesitate to ask. I will gladly answer questions or take more specific photos if they are requested.

Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.
Ford S-Max Concept previews new look, technology for Euro seven-seater
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Ford unveiled today the S-Max Concept, which comes with a new, sleek look and loaded with innovative technology, such as a heart-rate monitoring seat. But if you're heart is set on a minivan sports activity vehicle (SAV) and you live in the States, don't wait for this one - it's a Europe-only product, and we don't expect that to change when the next-gen S-Max is released.
The styling follows Ford's global design language, looking a bit like an overgrown Focus hatchback with the company's signature grille, wraparound headlamps, steeply raked windshield and curved roof line. Ford also implemented details to make the S-Max look longer and faster, such as a feature line on each side of the vehicle and muscular-looking fenders. The engine isn't Ford's most powerful, but the new 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine should be potent enough with turbocharging and other efficiency related technologies.
Ford says the new interior, which seats up to seven people, features high-quality materials and fine detailing, such as an "ultra-soft" leather wrap for the instrument panel and leather and carbon-fiber details on the seats. Ford's Sync connectivity system with MyFord Touch makes the car a wireless hotspot, and there's a tablet docking station for second-row occupants.
Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update
Fri, May 19 2017Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android
