Beautiful American muscle car, the 1965 Ford Falcon Futura Wagon! Perfect beach cruiser, surf wagon and is mechanically sound enough to be an everyday driver. The motor is a rebuild from a 1971 Mustang and has 11,000 miles on it (was installed in 2005). This car has a clean title and no rust. It has new interior (headliner, windlace, carpet), new cooling system (radiator, hoses), drum brake system (new dual piston master cylinder, brake lines, new transmission, was painted in 2012 (no bondo). Front seat is from a 65’ Mercury Comet because original front seat was destroyed and I fabricated the new door panels, but other than that the interior is complete with all original finishes and moldings. Tires were bought in 2006 but they still have plenty of tread and are in good condition. The bumpers are original and should be re-chromed or replaced. This nearly 50 year old car does have a few imperfections on the body and in the interior but is in excellent condition. I also have maintenance records that date back to the late 1990’s.

Note: I am selling this for a close friend and I am not the owner. The description of the vehicle is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I've helped sell many vehicles in the past and always portray the condion honestly. Please bid with confidence. See my excellent feedback history. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction ending. Balance due within 7 days via a bank wire transfer.

From the owner, my friends son:

My dad mentioned to me that you wanted to know a little more about the history of the car. I am the fourth owner, it was originally purchased in Southern Oregon and stayed there for decades, the original owner gave the car to his grand daughter after he couldn't drive anymore and it stayed in Oregon. The third owner bought it from the grand daughter of the original owner and brought it to San Jose Ca. I bought it from him in 2007.

The vin number is 5H24C264558

Thanks again for your help, let me know if there is anything else you need me to do or if there is more information you need.

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.

Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
