 I bought this as a project to do with my kid.  Life has changed and it is not going to get done.  It is a driver at present but it is still a project.  It sat for 7 years till I decided to let it go.  The guy I bought it from died shortly after sending it to me so there was no sending it back.  It was not as described but he was sick so I just kept it and was going to help my kid fix it right.  63 Falcon Sprint.   A real one. That is the good news. Bad news is that it has been modified.  302 Roller Motor from an HO  .  Has a mild solid roller cam.   Sounds great.  Has great low end.  Electronic distributor.  (Ford).  Starts with one half turn of the crank.  T-5 five speed with after market shifter.  Growls some in 3rd gear but shifts great.  Has a scattershield.  Clutch unknown.  No chatter.  No slip.  Shorty headers.  Flowmasters  (quiet must be Deltaflows). 9 " rear.  31 spline axles.  Detroit Locker.  Traction Bars.  They work.  This thing will do a burn out till next Tuesday without much effort.  Griffin radiator, aluminum.  Electric fan.  Cable clutch. Brand new ignition switch.  Battery in the trunk. 

   Tires will do to move it around and do burn outs but don't go too far.  I have done the safety stuff already.  It has rebuilt alternator, new regulator,  all wiring fixed for the charging circuit and it makes 14.1 volts.  Fuel lines are replaced so no fuel leaks.    It has a new Holley 670 street Avenger.  Works great.  Holley red pump.  Pressure regulator.  7 psi. 
  Interior is very tired.  Has some kind of after market buckets in the front. Car looks orange in the interior pics because I used the flash. It really is red. Has the Sprint console.  After market gauges in the dash actually work. 

  I will answer any questions the best I can.  I did not get too deep into this so some things I don't know.  It really does run like a champ and it has good oil pressure, 70 psi.  And I have not been able to make it run over 180 degrees. 

  We are busy racing cars and I have 2 other "whole car projects" so this one is not going to get done by me. Someone find it a home!!  Good basics are here.  Ask questions before you buy.  I will tell you everything I know. 

Shipping is on you.  Cash or cashiers check US banks only.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

2015 Ford Focus ST gets sleeker style, improved dynamics

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

The Brits don't really have a major auto show these days. Not in a conventional sense, anyway, with stationary vehicles under floodlights in a closed exposition space. What they do have, you could argue, is much better: the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the public can view the latest machinery not only under an open sky, but in motion as well, speeding up Lord March's front lawn. And this year, British automakers are rolling in with some very enticing new metal.
In the past few days alone we've confirmed the McLaren 650S GT3 and MSO, Jaguar F-Type Project 7, Range Rover Sport SVR and Ariel Ace will all be revealed for the first time at Goodwood this weekend. Ford isn't, strictly speaking, a British automaker, but for all its history in the UK, it might as well. So it's chosen Goodwood as the site to unveil its refreshed Focus ST.
The upgraded Blue Oval hot hatch still packs a 2.0-liter turbo four with 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque driving through a six-speed manual to the front wheels, so we're not expecting much change in measurable performance. But Ford has given the new Focus ST a new front suspension setup and a new electric power-assisted steering rack that combine to promise improved handling.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
