1965 Ford Falcon Miles 102,860 I purchased this car about a year ago from an older gentleman in Georgia just as you see it. He had done quite a bit of work to it until medical problems shut him down. My intentions were to build it into the first car I ever owned which was a 1964 Futura V8 4 speed bench seat, blue on blue. A motorcycle wreck has changed my plans as well. I do not want this car just sitting for another year or two while I recover from back surgery, it’s had too much work and too nice to sit and start deteriorating. About the car, it runs great and drives well also. When I purchased the car it had up to date tags and insurance certificate so he must have been driving it on a regular basis. Most of the body work has been done; there are still a few areas that need to be taken care of but nothing major. For a 50 year old car it is in great shape with no major rot. The following information is from documentation he sent with the car that was performed in 2011 – 2012 by different shops and him: Installed rebuilt 5.0 roller engine - Installed rebuilt C4 transmission - New transmission crossmember - New gas tank and fuel lines - New wiring harness - Keyless remote doors and trunk - Install Hurst Shifter - Install new exhaust system - New electric fuel pump - New radiator New Edelbrock 4bbl carburetor – New aluminum intake manifold – New starter, started solenoid, alternator, distributor, wires and plugs – New motor mounts – New air shocks on rear – All new hoses and engine fan – All new rear brakes, drums and cylinders – New drive shaft and u-joints. It looks like front end work has been performed by the look of the tie rod ends and such. Trunk and engine compartment have prepped and painted. The car has 4 new 175/70R/14 tires mounted on the newer style Magnum 500 wheels with the trim ring. Body lines are laser straight that I have tried to illustrate in the pictures. All windows roll up and down as supposed to and the interior is fairly new. I have quite a few spare/needed parts pictured. The good thing about parts for the 64-65 Falcon, this was the platform the 64-65 Mustang originated. Other than the obvious body panels/glass etc. all of the chassis parts, engine compartment, window, door and interior parts are interchangeable. I will post pictures of all extra/spare parts I have that go with the car in the next few days. In this description I have tried to illustrate the car to the best of my knowledge. Like I have said most of the work has been done there is still a bit to go but it won’t take much to make a nice little hot rod out of this car. There is no warranty offered or implied with this vehicle and I reserve the right to end the auction early because I have the car for sale here locally. Thank you for taking the time to look at this ad. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Mike

New York Mets outfielder turns spring training into his personal car show

Wed, Feb 24 2016

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is known for his wide range of talents. He can hit for power, average, has good speed, and is solid in the field. His car collection is equally versatile and diverse, and it's been on display this week at spring training. Every day has brought a different car, and it has his teammates and the media atwitter. Cespedes rolled up Wednesday to the Mets facility in Port St. Lucie in a Lamborghini Aventador. It's black with blue trim. Anthony DiComo with MLB.com tweeted this: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. ESPN's Darren Rovell tweeted the Lambo has a custom exhaust that cost $80,000 and shoots out flames. Of course, that's already old news. His Alfa Romeo showed up today, too. Apparently Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has been driving it. That's an ultra-rare 8C Competizione, brought to you by Robert Brender of SNY.TV. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Italian delights are stunning, but his Tuesday arrival was arguably the craziest: a Polaris Slingshot. DiComo captured this. It's customized with gaudy wire wheels, red accents, and Cespedes' No. 52 on the hood. Subtle. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Only in this fleet would Monday's ride appear pedestrian. It was 'only' an F-250. It was raised on huge wheels, had a custom grille, and towered over that Maserati behind it. Jon Santucci of Scripps newspapers observed it. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. At this rate, we should probably skip Geneva and get credentialed for Mets spring training. Cespedes signed a three-year $75-million contract with the Mets in the off-season. He's also played for the Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, and Detroit Tigers. Related Video: Image Credit: Getty Images Celebrities Design/Style Ford Lamborghini Performance baseball

National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
