I am selling a 1964 Ford Falcon. The car was a shell with the frontend cut out when I purchased it. It turned out to be a 6 year project. I started by sanding body down to bare metal. I cut out all rust which was minimal. I purchased and installed a Rod and Custom Motorsport crossmember and tubular control arms along w/ steering shaft kit and purchased Flaming River u-joints. I did all bodywork and applied self etching valspar 440 primer. I purchased a 1977 Ford Mustang 2 Cobra and utilized the engine and C4 transmission, along with power rack and spindles and gas pedal and shifter. Engine was rebuilt and balanced by local speedshop. Bored to .030, new pistons and rings, bearings and crane 260h cam. Comp cams dual roller timing set. Heads were ground, all new valves, seals, springs and shimmed for height. Ford Racing stainless shorty headers which have been wrapped. Holley Contender aluminum dual plenum intake, Holley 390cfm 4160 model carb and KN filter and fuel pressure gauge. Edelbrock aluminum high volume water pump and new aluminum radiator w/ remote trans cooler. Flex-lite fan w/ therm switch preset at 180 degrees.Entire interior and undercarriage received 2 coats of POR 15 paint. Undercarriage then got 2 coats of 3m undercoating. Dash, trim panels, doors and engine compartment got 3 coats primer and 3 coats of charcoal gray acrylic enamel. Body received 3 coats primer and 5 med coats of Hotrod black acrylic urethane.

New heater blower motor, plenum and defrost ducts along w/ tubing. All brake lines, fuel lines and tranny lines have been replaced w/ stainless flex lines running to calipers. Auto meter gauges, 15 gallon fuel cell. All window, door, windshield and rear window seals have been replaced except 2 vent windows. New window fuzzies. I never got around to buying interior door handles but have original stainless trim pieces. Also never found a rear bumper and just made one out of 2x2 tubular steel when car was on jackstands.Also made custom front wheel well liners from newer car to eliminate rust above headlight pods. This car turns alot of heads. I did not build it to drive to a carshow and win awards. I built it to drive with minimal maintenance and run on regular unleaded fuel. I have aprox. 5000 miles on car since it was assembled. It also has BF Goodrich radial ta's mounted on Cragar superspoke wheels that are like new. This car fires right up, and drives great with no leaks. It is sold as is with no warranty, and buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the car.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford 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.

Ford cuts production at 5 plants, has big backload of cars including Mustang
Wed, Sep 20 2017DETROIT — Ford said on Tuesday it plans to idle five North American vehicle assembly plants for a total of 10 weeks to reduce inventories of slow-selling models. The plants affected include three assembly plants in the United States and two in Mexico, the company said in a statement. The vehicle models include the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ midsize sedans, the Ford Focus compact car, the Lincoln Continental and Ford Mustang, Ford Fiesta and the Ford Transit van. Ford said the Cuautitlan assembly plant that builds the Fiesta would be idled for three weeks. The Hermosillo, Mexico plant that builds the Fusion and MKZ and the Flat Rock, Michigan, factory that assembles Continentals and Mustangs will be idled for two weeks each. The Michigan Assembly plant that builds the Focus will be idled for one week, and the Kansas City assembly line that builds Transit vans will be down for two weeks. Ford did not give dates for the temporary shutdowns. The factories involved employ more than 15,000 people, according to Ford's website. The company did not say how many of those workers would face temporary layoffs. As of Sept. 1, Ford had 111 days' worth of unsold Mustangs, 87 days' supply of Fusions, and a 103 days' supply of Transit vans, according to Automotive News. Dealers had enough unsold Lincoln Continentals to last 162 days. Automakers aim for 65 to 70 days of inventory of most models. Ford and rival General Motors have wrestled most of this year to rein in high inventories of passenger cars as consumers have shifted to buying pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Production cuts slice into revenue, but also could help the automakers avoid deeper price cuts on vehicles they can sell.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively.
