1965 Falcon " Barn Find " old Super Stock Drag Car - Last raced about 12 years ago. Owned and built by the same person for over 25 years. I bought this from the original owners Daughter. Over $30,000.00 total invested in the car. He built it using all the best parts available for the time. It ran in the 10's with a 289 in it. I have no times with the 351 that is presently in it . What you see in the photos is what you get . This is as honest as I can be about this car. I have never heard it run and spoke very little to the original owner before he died . He built a 351 windsor with Cleveland Roush intake and heads . It has roller rockers and a nice carb. It has line lock and a reverse pattern with manual valve body transmission. The shifter is rachet . The gauges and all electronics are wired and ready to go. It has a rev limiter and as usual electric fuel pump. It has Wildwood rack and pinion steering and disc brakes. The front end is tied so when the front wheels come off the ground the suspension doesn't travel too much. It was professionally back halved and even has a place to hook a parachute on the rear end housing . Nothing was spared on this car. It does show it's age and the fact it was sitting. It can easily be cleaned up and raced again. The fuel cell is dry and lines disconnected to keep the fuel from jelling. The tires are dry rotted. The interior is nice and all the hard work is done. It has a snorkle style hood that is fiberglass , as is the trunk. Prior owner would get it running once a year to keep things working. The car is being sold with " A BILL OF SALE ONLY " . It never had a title for the past 25 plus years and I bought it with a notarized bill of sale from the original owners Daughter.. I will give this to the new owner at the time of sale. Now is your chance to get into racing CHEAP .. It needs minor work but is a great deal for someone wanting to race. It is a time capsule of racing nostalgia. Cash only at time of pick up. Must be picked up within 10 days of sale. I will not accept Postal Money Orders. ONLY cash or certified cashiers checks. My phone number is 814-349-5875 for any questions . If it doesn't sell I will put it in the garage till I either race it or find someone who appreciates all the time and money the prior owner invested in it. I am retired and do not need to sell the car : so please no " Low Ballers " need call me about the car. I may be inclined to sell it as a roller but only for a " FAIR PRICE " . Thank you

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
