Up for sale is a 1965 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible. I recently bought this car and have done absolutely nothing to it except vacuum out the debris in the floor and trunk I honestly don't know much about the car but I'm going to describe it as best as I can. This is a solid foundation to start with compared to most in this price range. Pictures were taken after I rinsed the dust off the car so there is some water spots on the concrete.
SBF V8 engine with a C4 automatic transmission. I have not looked for the engine block date code to verify year and if its the 289 or 302 but can if you like.
Stock manifolds with single exhaust which needs to be replaced.
Very clean and straight body black primer.
Solid fenders, doors, rockers, quarters, hood and trunk lid.
Solid trunk pan and floors. Small amounts of rust here and there but nothing major that I can tell.
All the glass is there but front windshield has a crack.
No bumpers
17" Bullit wheels
The tires are 245/45/17.
Gas tank, sending unit, convertible top and pump have been replaced recently.
Based off the data plate:
Model Series = Convertible
Engine = 289 Cu. In. V-8 (2V)

Upholstery Color = Black Sierra Vinyl
Date Born = 08 April 1964
Transmission = Dual Range Automatic - (C-4)
Axle = 2.80:1
DSO = Louisville
Assembly Plant = Lorain
The car starts, runs and shifts into gear.. I drove it around the block just to make sure. Looks to have fairly new plugs, wires, cap, and the coil is aftermarket. The interior is just the seats, no carper or door panels but the rear panels are still installed. The glove box is in tact. The lights checked out and all are working. The trunk latch is worn out and needs replacing $30. The generator has been upgraded to an altenator
. This is an easy project car which you can restore as you drive it. As I mentioned, I have not driven the car much to really comment on how it runs but it does start and shift into gear as it should. I just want to get what I paid for the car and would love to see it go to a good home. Please ask as many questions as you'd like and also let me know if you need more pictures. I can take pictures of whatever you need to see. If the car does not sell I will just give up the idea of restoring a Hardtop car and work on this one.A non-refundable $500 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the vehicle being purchased. The remaining balance is to be made via cash or a cashiers check.
I do not accept wire transfers or personal checks.
The car will be released to buyer and/or shipper once final payment has cleared at my bank. The only exception to that is CASH in person.
I am willing to work with pick or shipping arrangements for those who are not close to my location. However, you must contact me before you bid to confirm your plans with me so we are both on the same page.
For those of you who are curious why I am selling this car it is due to the fact that I was originally searching for a hardtop. I stumbled across this thinking the convertible would be more interesting which it would but, I cant stop thinking about my vision on doing a hardtop version. I do not want to work on this car and dump money into it and get to the end of the road and wish I had done a hardtop. My theory on this is, list this car once here with no reserve at a reasonable price. If it sells I will go after a hardtop, if it doesn't sell then I will start working on this one anyway since its already a good platform.

2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.
Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
