Up for auction is my 1964 Ford Falcon Futura. I have owned this car for about five years. I originally bought the car as an I6 automatic and, over the course of about a year, converted it to a 302 V8 5 Speed.

This car runs and drives great. The transmission shifts very smoothly and the engine generates great power. It's got a custom exhaust which is not too loud but will get your attention when you get on the motor. With the front disc brakes and larger drums the car stops very well. The car always runs at 180 to 185 degrees; never had any kind of cooling issues. The car has been "adult" owned; no racing nor has it been driven hard.

The following is a list of modifications I've made to the car since I've owned it:

302 of a 78 Ford Granada. Heads were rebuilt to accomodate a different cam
Comp Cams 278H cam
Double roller chain / timing gears
High volume oil pump
HEI Distributor w/Ford Racing Wires
Edelbrock 1406 carburetor (600 cfm) w/electric choke
Weiand dual plane aluminum intake manifold
Ford Racing aluminum water pump
Hedman Headers
Aluminum Radiator (180 degree thermo)
World Class T5 transmission from a "fox body" Mustang (5 Speed)
Ford Racing clutch, flywheel pressure plate
Hurst stick shift
8" Maverick Rear End (3.00 gears); rear end housing was powder coated black
Ford Grandard front disc brakes; new front hoses
New dual master cylinder
2.5" Exhaust w/Magnaflow Mufflers
Auto Meter gauges (tachometer, voltage, oil pressure, temperature)
New engine bay wiring harness
Newer Interstate battery
V8 steering conversion done (pitman arm, idler arm, center link, upper and lower control arms); larger diameter sway bar
New suspension (front and rear springs, tie rods, etc).
New driveshaft
Rear air shocks with external fill
Floor pans coated in POR-15 and Dynamat
Newer tires with a lot of tread
New interior front / rear panels, new carpet
Rear trunk mat and fresh trunk seal
All windows and chrome are on the car. The chrome is original, looks very nice, but is not show quality.

The following items are included in the auction but not installed on the car:

California Car Cover
Door seal rubber (enough for both doors)
Interior edging trim (e.g. trim which goes around the door openings)

The car is in good condition but there are some issues which I will note here:

The original color of the car was Wimbeldon white. A previous owner painted it the color it is now which is a brighter white. I would say the paint is a 5 out of 10. It is presentable but nowhere near show quality
The speedometer and odometer are not connected. The T5 housing is for an electronic speed
There is a small oil leak from the rear of the pan
There is a small leak from the rear end
The front windshield has a faint scratch from the passenger side wiper. There is also a small divet in the windshield at the bottom of the passenger side
The horn does not work
The blinker switch does not have a "reset" (e.g. when you turn the wheel the blinker will not go off - you need to move the stick back)
There is a slight bend in the rear bumper from a previous owner.
The letter "A" is missing from the rear deck. I refused to buy a Chinese made letter and was not able to find an OEM one to replace it.
There is a slight crease in the lower rear fender on the driver's side (you can see that in the pictures)
Driver's side door plunger needs to be reconnected; does not affect the operation of the lock
Small rip in the carpet on the passenger's side floor (about two inches)

For the high bidder a deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction. Payment must be received within 7 (seven days) of the end of the auction. The winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements including carrier and cost.

I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL AS A FORM OF PAYMENT. I WILL ACCEPT CASH, MONEY ORDERS, CASHIERS CHECKS AND WIRE TRANSFERS. ALL FUNDS MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS SHIPPED.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.

NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.
