Up for sale is my 1965 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible. It has been my project for the last year. It does run and drive good but needs some finishing. This is on older restoration done back in the 80's, and yes it does have filler in the usual places but looks good but is showing wear in the body and paint. The worst part of the paint is on the right rear quarter panel, a bottle of brake fluid spilled on it while it was in the barn and peeled the paint, otherwise there are scratches and chips from the junk in the barn. I did buff it out and it looks pretty good but it could eventually use some paint. The windshield is cracked and needs to be replaced. It is a driver not a trailer queen but can be a show car by next spring. I do have the original 289 engine and C4 trans that go with the car if you want it. The 289 was stuck at a valve guide from sitting in a barn for over 25 years. This is an original V8 car with 5 lug suspension, not a converted 6 cylinder car. Some of the work I have done in the last year is: install engine and trans, all new brakes and hydraulic parts, gas tank and sending unit, inner rocker structures, new Edelbrock carb, duraspark ignition upgrade, new carpet, fiberglass bumpers. It still needs interior work, the seats are not original to the car except the top of the back seat. The front split bench is from a Falcon wagon and the base of the rear is also from the same wagon. It isn't a perfect fit but will work until a base is located. Eventually it will need a repaint. It has headers and dual exhaust to the rear axle, needs tailpipes. The white top is in very nice shape with no tears, even at the pivot points. The power top works well but the pivots need oiling. I don't have all the white inserts that go between the trim. I suggest coming to see the car in person before committing to purchase. I consider this a drivable project. I am selling to pay a few bills and have another car that I would like to start on. Any questions please call me at (262)893-1763

Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test
Wed, Sep 29 2021The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
2013 Ford Mustang V6
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Secretary Trim, Evolved
There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Ford Mustang meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission. During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.
Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel of an entry-level pony is an entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly GT?
