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.

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?

Sat, 28 Sep 2013

Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Four minor accidents and no injuries are attributed to one of these conditions.

Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.
