"THIS IS THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF"
Anyone familiar with the Humphrey Bogart movie "The Maltese Falcon" knows this famous line from the end of the picture. Well, this little Falcon is also the stuff dreams are made of! What we have here is a rare 1964 Falcon Futura with the original 260 V8 engine and 4 on the floor stick shift. It sports brand new white paint, and it runs as good as it looks.
Some of us remember a time when you could march down to your local car dealer and order exactly the car you wanted! That is what the owner of this car did! He wanted a high-performance hard-top, so he optioned this car for everything the Sprint package offered, minus the side moldings and Sprint badges. As a result, this is a rare car. According to the Falcon Registry, there were only 235 of these cars made, and having a V8, 4 speed stick, with bucket seats and no console makes it almost one-of-a-kind. Even more rare is that it still has the original 260 V8 engine. Most of these engines are long-gone, everyone wanted a 302! But the Ford 260 V8 has an amazing history in the auto world. This was the same engine found in the early "64 1/2" Mustangs, as Ford had not yet introduced the 289, not until later in '64. It was also the first engine Carroll Shelby used in his famous Shelby Cobra! And who can forget the car driven by Secret Agent Maxwell Smart from the TV show "Get Smart"? It was a Sunbeam Tiger with a 260! This was another hybrid car designed by Carroll Shelby that featured a hot-blooded American V8- the 260. For an engine that was produced for less than 2 years, it has an amazing pedigree!
Many fans of nostalgia drag-racing know of the notorious Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt. The white bodies, Thunderbolt lettering, and distinctive bubble hood scoop of these factory production racers are its best characteristic, while boasting a huge 427 FE engine and dual 4 barrel carbs. These legendary dragsters are highly sought-after. Even clones are commanding huge prices, at public auctions and on ebay. So this little Falcon- with its fresh white paint, hot 260 motor, stick-shift, and bubble hood scoop are reminiscent of a mini- Thunderbolt! At a fraction of the price!
Now dont go ordering a 347 stroker, this Falcon is truly a Show and Go car! The 260 in this trick little rocket is built! A hot cam, Edelbrock aluminum intake, and Holley 650 carb make it fast! Traction bars keep it straight, and the front end and brakes are tight. And if you decide to run some passes at the next nostalgia drag race, you can un-cork the headers with the trick threaded-pipe cut-out exhaust! See the photo! And also notice the aluminum driveshaft!
This car offers the best of both worlds- old-school looks, original engine and transmission, but with new paint and modern upgrades! Its a fast car that is fun to drive!
I have to mention that it currently has a T 5 transmission in it, which makes it a better hi-way cruiser because of the overdriven 5th gear. But I do have the original Borg Warner T 10- which has been re-built- to be included with the sale (No, the Ford top-loader trans wasnt introduced til later in '64!)
*The underbody is rust free and solid.This is a rust-free southern car- sold in Atlanta Georgia.
*Headers and full exhaust from front to rear.
*The interior is original and in very good condition.
*The car is fully street-legal.
I have tried to describe this nice little car to the best of my ability. I do have a clear notarized Kentucky title. The car is currently in Kentucky, zip code is 42066 if you wish for a test drive or inspection, or to calculate transportation.
This is your chance to own a rare piece of American high-performance car history!
This Falcon is sure to appreciate, while you enjoy owning and driving it!

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
Ford taps Canada-based Multimatic to build carbon fiber Ford GT
Mon, Feb 16 2015Ford has given Canadian firm Multimatic the nod to build the carbon fiber body on the new GT – The Blue Oval says it has worked with this company for 30 years. The global supplier provides parts and engineering to various automakers, and while based in Markham, Ontario it has 12 plants in Canada, the US, Mexico, England, and China. When announcing the decision at the Canadian International Auto Show, Ford says it chose them "because they have specialized equipment for carbon fiber production and expertise in carbon fiber assembly," and we've heard that the 600-horsepower coupe will be produced in a purpose-built facility at Ford's factory in Markham. Even better than that – for GT purposes and for possible hints at a Le Mans run – the Multimatic Motorsports division can be contracted for engineering and race team management. They currently produce the Boss 302R racecar in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, worked on the FR500C, and their Multimatic Motorsports Lola B2K/40 won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2000. The first models will roll off the line at the end of next year. Production numbers are rumored to be in the low hundreds, with a six-figure price tag around $200,000. They'll go into production in time for some sort of 50th anniversary celebration of the GT40 taking the the top three spots at Le Mans in 1966.

Man has surgery to remove T-Bird turn signal that's been in his arm for 51 years
Fri, Jan 2 2015In 1963, real estate agent Arthur Lampitt was driving a new Ford Thunderbird near East Peoria, Illinois on his way to an appointment when he collided head-on with a truck. A massive accident that was so bad that it was originally reported as a fatal crash, Lampitt suffered a broken hip and that became the focus of doctors' efforts. In fact, no one noticed the fact that the turn-signal stalk had been broken off the steering column and had lodged itself in Lampitt's arm. Fast-forward to around ten years ago, when Lampitt set off a courthouse metal detector because of a "slender object, about the size of a pencil" in his arm. Despite that unnerving discovery, the doctor who examined Lampitt said that since it didn't hurt, he needn't worry about it. This year, however, it did start hurting and the affected arm started to bulge. Lampitt decided to have the issue seen to, and suspected it might have something to do with his 1963 accident. When he looked through photos of the wreck taken by a friend, he noticed the turn-signal stalk of the Thunderbird missing and figured that was the culprit. After a 45-minute outpatient surgery, the surgeon verified it: a slim, slightly bent and corroded, seven-inch metal cylinder with a trumpeted end. The surgeon said a protective pocket had formed around it, which is why it could remain in Lampitt's arm so long, but it was still unusual - "We see all kinds of foreign objects like nails or pellets, but usually not this large." Lampitt, who is expected to make a full recovery, says he might make a keychain out of it, once he's done just holding it.
