Nice unrestored 1965 Ford Falcon. The car is a daily driver. Has the original black California plates, even has the original license plate frame from the Ford dealer in Mojave Cal. been in the high desert all it's life. I bought this from the second owner and have a stack of receipts back to 1990 when he bought it. It even has the original keys. The car had sat for the last 15 years, I bought it and prepped the engine and after rebuilding carb, changing plugs and fluids etc. it fired right up and runs like a champ. I had a new master cylinder installed as well as brakes and wheel cylinders cleaned and inspected, bearings packed and four new white wall tires installed and new shocks, new thermostat housing and thermostat. That is the original white paint but at some time in the past the left front fender has been replaced. As can be seen in photos there is a minor dent at the left rear corner and directly behind the right front fender is a ripple from when he drove off a curb. There is absolutely no rust issues, this is a high desert car. The interior is original and does show it's 49 years. The engine runs strong, no smoke or problems, engine has the factory tag stating 1965 289, has the C-4 trans, 8 inch Ford rear end and is the five lug bolt pattern and is a fun little car to drive. Previous owner told me it was a column shift car originally, he had it converted and was getting it ready for paint (that is why the engine compartment is blue) marital problems caused him to lose interest and it sat. Previous owner also had dual exhaust installed with low restriction mufflers and it sound good. The aftermarket radio is no-op due to the speakers deteriorated so I pulled them out. All the glass is good, no cracks, all lights and blinkers and gauges work heater works wipers work, the horn has a push button under dash. The hub caps are not original they are 1957 caps. I have put about 200 miles on it and it runs very well, a four barrel carb would sure perk it up but as it is it is quicker than a jack rabbit on a date. The chassis is the same as all the first generation Mustangs so upgrades are cheap and plentiful. These little Falcons are definitely on the rise as affordable performance Hot Rods. This is a nice rust free 77,000 mile car from the High Desert of So. Cal. The car has a clear and proper title and is current (no non-op or such). I do have it for sale locally and will entertain buy it now offers, but please don't email me asking my bottom line. My reserve is fair and may end auction early unless it hits the reserve first. I have fairly described the car but if you have any further questions I will answer and post them for all to see. Thank you for looking.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

Ford, Petty's Garage to build limited-edition Mustang GT from SEMA Show

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The customized vehicles on display at the annual SEMA Show are often just there to exhibit a company's wares. They are more an illustration of what's possible by picking the right bits out of a catalog, rather than a model available in complete form. Ford and Petty's Garage are doing something a little different, though, by putting a very limited run of the tuner's supercharged Mustang GTs up for order through Blue Oval dealers. The Petty's Garage Mustang GT made its debut with a host of other modded 'Stangs at the 2014 SEMA Show. It featured a blue-and-black two-tone paint job and a supercharged version of the pony car's V8 under the hood. Just 143 of them are now being offered to customers – 100 in Stage 1 trim and 43 in Stage 2 form. At a starting price of $62,210, Stage 1 buyers get the aggressive body kit from the show car, including a center-exit exhaust at the rear, trunk lip spoiler and a set of 20-inch wheels. Although the real meat of the setup is a supercharger, cold air intake and retuned engine calibration also help take the output up to 627 horsepower. Inside, customers get "The King" Richard Petty's signature on the dashboard. Shelling out $92,210 for the Stage 2 version adds bigger brakes from Wilwood, HRE three-piece wheels and the two-tone paint job from the SEMA show car. The boosted Mustangs can be ordered from Ford dealers, but at least one of the Stage 2 versions is already sold. Rocker and car enthusiast Brian Johnson of AC/DC bought the first one. FORD AND PETTY'S GARAGE TEAM UP TO BUILD LIMITED-EDITION MUSTANG GT Ford dealerships to offer 143 limited-edition Petty's Garage-tuned Mustang GTs; a Stage 1 version and an even more exclusive Stage 2 version will be available All Petty's Garage Mustang GTs feature Ford Racing/Roush supercharger boosting output to 627 horsepower*, as well as unique exterior and interior treatments including Richard Petty's signature on the dashboard AC/DC's Brian Johnson ordered the first Petty's Garage Stage 2 Mustang GT Â– the rock 'n' roll legend's first-ever domestic vehicle purchase DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 19, 2015 Â– Ford Motor Company and Petty's Garage are teaming up to build a new 627-horsepower* Mustang GT Â– a limited-edition fastback inspired by the popular Petty's Garage Mustang GT on display at last year's SEMA show in Las Vegas. "We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback about our Petty's Garage Mustang GT displayed at the SEMA show," said Jeff Whaley, Petty's Garage COO.

Three automotive tech trends to watch in 2018 and beyond

Thu, Dec 28 2017

Every year, technology plays a bigger and bigger role in the auto industry. To put things in perspective, 10 years ago iPod integration and Bluetooth were cutting-edge in-car innovations, and smartphones and apps weren't yet a thing since the first iPhone was only about six months old. And I can't recall anyone talking about autonomous cars. Compare that to today, with mainstream coverage of the auto industry dominated by autonomous technology, along with electrification and almost every move made by Tesla. These three topics were the most significant trends of car tech in 2017 and I believe they will continue to shape the auto industry in 2018 and beyond. Let's examine them. Full Autonomy Gets Closer to Reality While there were many developments this year that indicate we're inching closer to fully autonomous vehicles, I was behind the wheel for hours to witness one of them. In October I had the chance to test Cadillac Super Cruise on a 700-mile, 11-hour drive from Dallas to Santa Fe – and had my hands on the wheel for maybe 45 minutes max throughout the entire trip. Super Cruise is far from making the Cadillac CT6 or any GM vehicle fully autonomous, and has limitations such as functioning only on pre-mapped main highways. While it simply adds a layer of lane centering to adaptive cruise control, the technology will go a long way in making mainstream drivers more comfortable with letting machines take over. On a separate front, GM is pushing ahead with fully autonomous vehicles and announced last month that it plans to launch of fleets of self-driving robo-taxis in several urban areas in 2019. While most automakers are also in the race to make autonomous cars a reality, GM's turbocharging of its efforts appeared to be in response to Waymo, which announced just weeks earlier that its Early Rider Program in the Phoenix area would go completely driverless. The Early Rider Program launched last April, offering the public a chance to ride in Waymo's autonomous Chrysler Pacifica minivans. In this new phase of testing, Waymo is using its own employees as guinea pigs instead of the public while the vehicles operate without a human behind the wheel, and takes another giant step forward for fully autonomous driving.
