1964 Ford Falcon Futura on 2040-cars
|
64 Ford Falcon Futura, 289, C4 automatic, factory power steering car (not hooked up), I believe it also had air conditioning at one time. Engine runs very nice, transmission works, but I haven't driven it down the road to see how many gears it has. I started rebuilding the brakes, new wheel cylinders, lines, hoses, and master cylinder. There is a fitting near the master cylinder that is leaking, so they work, but they are spongy. The windshield is cracked, but I have another one to replace it. The rear glass is not glued in, its just sitting there. Since the window weather strip holds the headliner in I didn't see any reason to install it until someone decides on a headliner. All the rest of the glass is in good shape. Windows roll up and down like they should in a 40 year old car. The wheels and tires are brand new! The grill is out of a 65 donor car I had, but I still have the 64 grill. It does not have a lot of rust, worst rust is drivers, rear floor pan. There is some rust in the trunk drop-offs. Torque boxes, frame rails, rockers, and trunk are all in great shape. Over-all its a great car and wouldn't take a too awful lot to make a great driver. |

Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII
Fri, 17 May 2013Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue
Tue, 28 May 2013We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod
Tue, 21 Oct 2014Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.
