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.

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

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

Ford spotted testing new Focus RS at the Nurburgring

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford is expected to be launching a revised version of the Focus ST soon, but the latest snapshots from our spy photographers at the Nürburgring suggest that the Blue Oval is already working on an even more potent example: the new Focus RS.
Though the partially disguised test mule is wearing an ST badge (along with a Dewey sticker that makes us wonder what adventures Huey and Louie are up to and what manner of duck-tail rear spoiler they may be wearing), there are several tell-tale signs that something else is afoot here. There's a larger front air dam, bigger brake calipers, dual exhaust tips (instead of the central exhaust on the ST) and a reshaped wing protruding from the trailing edge of the roof.
That may all be well and fine, but what's under the hood? We don't know yet for sure, but word has it that Ford is preparing to port over the 2.3-liter turbo four offered in the new Mustang, where it packs 305 horsepower and almost as much torque - potentially retuned to produce even more for the top-of-the-line Focus, which could channel it all to the front wheels like the last model or pack an all-wheel drive system. The Global C platform on which the Focus is based does, after all, also underpin AWD models like the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC.
