*NO RESERVE AUCTION!*

1965 falcon convertible. pretty rare car. Most falcons out there for sale are 64's.hard to find very solid old ford. It is currently a running, driving, registered car. It has just had a valve job, electronic ignition conversion, new fuel pump, new carburator, and battery. Just had a brand new set of whitewall tires put on it. We also just replaced the rear leaf springs and hangers with new bushings. Drives and runs pretty well but I would assume the rest of the suspension may very well be original. I wouldn't see a problem driving it home however it is still an old car so anything can happen. Has a power top that works very well. all lights, turn signals, etc work. The original radio even works still!! the worst parts of the car are the chrome is flaking off the rear bumper and the trunk lock is missing in action..lol The top works great and is all there but likely the original or a replacement a long time ago. it works but is in need of replacement if car was to be restored. From what I have found the pictures below show the only rust which is on the bottom of the inner rocker. probably a 2x6 inch area or so on both sides where it is thin. the trunk, floors, quarters and everything else look to be solid. Body is absolutely solid, doors do not sag when they are opened like most convertibles out there for sale. The car was originally the dark IVY green. Looks like it was repainted red a LONG time ago. it does have a cool patina to it and gets alot of attention when we cruise it around. All of the glass and top window is there and in place. The windshield has a rock chip in it but other than that the glass is in nice condition.

I have represented the car to the best of my knowledge and will meet any bidder for a preview no problem. On cars this old a lot of condition items are subject to each persons opinion. What I may think is horrible you may not. I try to make sure the car is well represented so the buyer will be pleasantly surprised when it arrives. The car is for sale locally and is subject to sale prior to end of auction. We offer transportation assistance for overseas buyers. Flat rate of $200.00 in addition to close price, to transport it the port of oakland ca. We also work directly with a excellent transport company(no brokers) for delivery in the states.

A deposit of 500.00 is due immediatly at end of auction for winning bidder! If you do not agree to this do not bid please. Please do not hesitate to call or message me with any questions. 916-740-9438

Thanks, and HAPPY BIDDING!!!

Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation

Sat, May 2 2015

Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.

Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.
