On offer here is a beautiful, unrestored 1963 1/2 Falcon Sprint with a documented 31,721 miles on the odometer. This first year Falcon was launched in 1963 1/2 to showcase Ford's new Fairlane "Challenger" 260 which boasted an impressive 164 horsepower. These cars were produced in extremely limited quantity with only 10,479 produced and very few remaining today, especially in the unrestored state that this one is in. This is a factory original Sprint car as indicated by the following features: "F" code 260ci V8 engine with factory chrome oil filler cap, chrome valve covers with no oil fill holes, and extremely rare ORIGINAL chrome "double hump" air cleaner. The letters "F-A-L-C-O-N" on the rear tail panel. Futura hardtops had the letters "F-U-T-U-R-A" on the rear tail panel. You will see in coming pictures that the rear panel on this car has never been redrilled as is common practice with people making fake Sprints. The chrome side trim is un-painted in the ribbed section. Futura cars had the ribbed area of the side trim painted from the factory. Chrome interior windshield trim. Bucket seats and center console. "Falcon Sprint" horn ring with original recessed Sprint ensignia and wood-grain look steering wheel. "Sprint" badge on glovebox door trim. Non-padded dash with no trim holes for dash pad trim. "SPRINT" badge on front fender. "Sprint" "V8" badges on front fender. Futura cars with V8's got a "260 V8" badge. "Sprint" badge on rear pillar. Futura hardtops had a "Futura" badge. Factory Ford Chrome Wire Hubcaps. Futura cars had red, white, and blue stamped alloy hubcaps. Dash mounted tachometer. The tachometer in the car now is not the factory tachometer but I have the factory mount for it. The factory tachometers are readily available if you decide to replace it. Only 31,709 original miles as documented by previous inspection tickets and registration. Inspection ticket dates and mileages are as follows: June 1st 1973 - 16,591 miles December 28th 1973 - 22,842 miles June 13th 1974 - 27,663 miles June 11th 1982 - 30,859 miles December 19th 1984 - 31,002 June 20th 1996 - 31,077 miles June 16th 1997 - 31,111 miles February 23rd 1999 - 31,235 miles February 21st 2000 - 31, 299 miles March 7th 2001 - 31,333 miles Vehicle registration issued November 5th 2002 - 31,351 miles (stated as "ACTUAL" on registration) Current odometer reading as of March 14th 2014 - 31,721 miles This car is an EXCEPTIONALLY ORIGINAL car. and has been well taken care of its entire life. The car has had very little changed or replaced since it left the factory. The car has one older repaint in its factory color or Rangoon Red, one of the most desirable colors FoMoCo ever produced. The underside of the hood, door jams, underside of trunk lid, and inside of trunk still wear all original paint. Picture below is of an original underhood paint inspection stamping. The car features every piece of original, rust free sheet metal which it left the factory with. A small sample of the date codes present on this car's metal are as follows: The seats and door panels have been redone in the interior but, otherwise, the interior appears to be all original including the carpet. Every single piece of glass on the car is not only original Carlite Glass, but original glass to this car. The car retains every piece of glass it left the factory with. All glass is free of cracks or de-lamination. The radiator and water pump were recently replaced, however the ORIGINAL radiator and ORIGINAL water pump do come with the car upon its sale! The car runs cool and has NO LEAKS whatsoever. Shocks and tires were replaced approximately 10 years ago. The tires are still in as new condition and even still have the nubs on them. No dry rotting or cracking. The car recently received a set of 4 correct and near NOS Original FoMoCo Chrome Wire hub caps. These are what originally came on the car and it was not cheap to obtain a set this nice. The car also comes with original stainless steel fender skirts which are date coded 1960. The car also comes complete with original FoMoCo Dealer optional seat belts dated July of 1962! This car drives EXTREMELY well. There are no rattles or squeaks going down the road and no smoke from the exhaust. The car drives and stops straight and the doors shut like only an unrestored car's doors could shut! Overall, the car runs and drives like a car that has 31,000 original miles.

Autoblog Technology of the Year Award Special | Autoblog Podcast #758
Thu, Dec 1 2022This episode of the Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore, Road Test Editor Zac Palmer and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. The trio begin by discussing the 2022 Technology of the Year award. Ford's Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch hauling/towing tech as tested in the F-150 Lightning won this year. Why the Ford won, how testing went down and Ford's competition — including the GMC Hummer EV and Genesis GV60 — are discussed. After diving through the Technology of the Year award testing, the three take on this week's news. A mysterious vehicle based on the Corvette (that isn't a Corvette) is supposedly on its way. Audi is giving us "Performance" versions of the RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback. Plus, we discuss a recent study that provides data for the 10 longest lasting vehicles on the road today. After the news, the crew dive into the cars they've been driving this week. Greg's been behind the wheel of a Nissan Pathfinder, while Jeremy and Zac have been driving some plug-in hybrids, including the Lexus NX 450h+ and Autoblog's long-term BMW 330e xDrive.

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
