1963 Ford Falcon Sprint Rare Car. Unique Body Style V-8 5 Speed on 2040-cars
Humble, Texas, United States
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. 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. |

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
2016 Ford Focus RS leaked ahead of official debut
Tue, Feb 3 2015We won't officially see the new Ford Focus RS until the Blue Oval shows it to the world at an event on Tuesday, but here it is ahead of time, courtesy of the folks at Evo. As you can see, this is one hot little hatch, and if Evo's story is to be believed, those aggressive looks will be backed up with some pretty serious performance. Power is said to come from Ford's 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine, though the magazine's estimate of 250 horsepower seems awfully conservative to us (considering that's less than the current Focus ST). If earlier reports are to be believed, we think the RS will come packing more like 300 hp, if not more. For the first time, the Focus RS will use all-wheel drive with brake-operated torque-vectoring, and Evo says that up to 70 percent of the engine's power can be sent to the rear wheels. Hitting 60 miles per hour will reportedly take less than five seconds. Otherwise, it's business as usual, with a mean-looking exterior complete with the necessary aero bits (notice that wing!), and inside, we can see a beefy set of Recaro chairs. That's really all we know for now, but stay tuned for more when the Focus RS makes its official debut in the not-too-distant future. Related Video:
Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]
Fri, 16 May 2014When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.
