  Here is a VERY nice and VERY original 1963 Ford Falcon Futura 2dr sedan. This car has been in our family for over 20 years. It has been in indoor storage the past 10 years. Original paint, interior etc. Never restored. Very clean non restored car. 67967 actual miles. My mother drove this car to shows and cruise nights for several years and it has won many awards. Has been setting for 7-8 years. It fired right up with a hot battery and fresh gas less than a week ago.

  Engine is a 170 CI 6 cyl and sounds like a sewing machine!! Trans shifts good, rearend had new bearings and seals shortly before being parked. Carb had been rebuilt, and could probably use a basic kit from setting, but it did fire up and run, just didnt want to idle well. Brakes also work, but are sticking also due to setting. I think it would be fine with just a wheel cyl kit and fresh fluid. Shoes are good. Tires are like new, but are at least 10 years old. Paint is all original, some typical chips and blems from a 52 years of age, but shines and shows very well. Under side of car is also very clean, just dirt and cob webs from setting. Interior is Excellent for its age, no tears, or damage other than a couple dark age spots here and there, great carpet etc. Very impressive original interior for a car of this age!!!  Am radio works as it should, all guages etc also work. E brake, heater, wipers all work as they should. All good glass and seals. 1 small star in windshield, was repaired many years ago, but is visible. All suspension steering etc is still good and tight and works smoothly. Some extra parts include: grill and headlight rings, several extra carbs, extra guage cluster, extra matching hub cap, and some extra body trim, and 2 spare pass side front fenders, and possibly a few other parts I may have forgotten about.

    This is as clean of an original un-restored old Falcon as you could ask to find. In a short weekend it could be show and cruise night ready. Hate to sell it as it has been in the family a long time, but I can no longer stand to see it just sit. Someone should be out enjoying it. Feel free to call with questions at (573)338-5356. a deposit of 20% due within 48 hours of autions end, and full payment within 5 working days, unless arrangements are made prior to auctions end. I can store free of charge for 40 days as long as it has been paide for. $15 per day after, unless other arragements are agreed upon. I can help load onto a trailer etc, but arrangements are to be made by the purchaser. Im sure I may have missed something, or left something out, so feel fre to ask questions. If you have to ask your wife or girlfriend for permission, please have it BEFORE bidding!!! This car has been in storage for a while, and is NOT road ready, but easily put back on the road, so plaese keep that in mind. Thanks for looking.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]

Wed, Dec 31 2014

UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.
