*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!!!

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot

Sun, 05 Jan 2014

A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.

2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.

Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?

Sat, Sep 23 2017

If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.
