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.

This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

I'm not normally a pickup kind of guy, but the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor won me over nearly instantly. The street-legal trophy truck - there is really no other way to accurately describe it - is big, brawny and incredibly capable. Let's just say it's every bit the monster it visually portrays. I spent a week pretending I was one of Ford's Baja 1000 drivers, but lacking desert sand, I headed into the local mountains where a mild winter storm had dropped a couple inches of fresh snow on my favorite off-road park. The Ford was, for the most part, practically unstoppable.
Ford offers its SVT Raptor package on Supercab and Supercrew platforms with the five-foot, five-inch bed. The Supercrew I tested rides on a 144-inch wheelbase (about a foot longer than the Supercab). In addition to its cosmetic differences when compared to the standard F-150 - there isn't a young boy on the planet who doesn't think the matte black Ford grille is cool - the Raptor has a 73.6-inch track - nearly seven inches wider than the track on the standard F-150.
After upgrading the F-150 SVT Raptor significantly for the 2012 model year, there are only a few changes for 2013. The list includes standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Hill Descent Control, forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the new matte Terrain color (aka "Desert Storm") option seen on my test model.

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.
