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 adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.
