1965 Ford Falcon Futura Factory 289 V8 Car on 2040-cars
Rockford, Iowa, United States
For sale is a 1965 Ford Falcon Futura. Came with the 289 v8 and c4 ultramatic transmission from the factory! The motor is currently out of the car, as we rebuilt a 302 to put in place of the 289. The motor is assembled and ready to be dropped in. 302 rotating assembly with 289 heads, head had over $900 worth of work, including, stainless valves, ported, all new springs and retainers, Comp Cams roller tip rockers, cleaned, heat treated and resurfaced. Has a Lunati Voodoo Cam package which included a .562 lift cam and lifters. HEI Distributor, Noisy Gear drive, new fuel pump, new oil pump, Edelbrock Aluminum intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb. Motor will run very strong and move this light weight Falcon around very good, should be a good for 300+hp! Motor is ready to be dropped back in! The Transmission is still strong and dont slip a bit! Overall the car is very solid, no holes in trunk or floor, no rust, and its not a bondo car, this is very solid all metal still. Inner front fenders have very small holes which is typical with the Falcons, Mustangs and Fairlanes. Interior is all original, its in very good condition still, needs to be cleaned, steering wheel is becoming weathered which is typical of these cars. Paint is 20+years old, but as you see from the pictures it still has a shine to it, but its not show paint. All the chrome is there, along with all the trim, glass is in excellent condition still as well. Has brand new Jegs pro star wheels, with new BF Goodrich tires all the way around, brakes are in good working order aswell. For the most part the car is still original, been in the family for 20+ years, always stored inside out of the weather. Doors shut solid and tight like when it was brand new, all the body lines are flawless, straight with no exrtra gaps, rare to find anymore. This is someones chance to get a huge head start on a restoration since theres no body work that needs to be done, and the car is solid through out, or throw the motor in and drive just the way it is. These are getting harder and harder to fine, especially 2 door hard top Futuras! Any questions feel free to ask, located at Rockford, IA! Thanks

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.
