1963 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery Base 2.8l on 2040-cars
Festus, Missouri, United States
Up for auction is a running 63 Ford Falcon Futura. The vehicle is a 4-door hardtop model, and has been a daily driver for 3 years. In that time, the engine and transmission have been replaced, as well as smaller parts such as windshield wiper arms, electrical wires to fix left turn indicator, battery bracket, etc. There is some surface rust on the bumper, but it is minimal. There is sun damage present on the dashboard, and a few small tears in the headlining. Other than cosmetics, the vehicle has been well maintained. The drive train is still good. These models did not have air conditioning, but the heater and defroster work well, and the car has triangular turning windows, and under-dash air vents. This is a manual-steering, single power-wheel, 2-speed Fordomatic. The factory radio does not work, but an after market radio has been put in. Speakers should be replaced. The mileage displayed in the info is just what the odometer says, I have no way of knowing the actual mileage on the body itself, or the engine in it now. The turn indicators both work, but the right indicator must be turned off manually, as it does not revert back after a turn is made. The rubber cover for the gas pedal is not currently installed, but is included with the car itself. This would make a great project car for those who have the resources, or a nice first car as it was for my son.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
