I purchased this original California car back home in Modesto California about 8 years ago, brought it up to Idaho with me when I moved, and finally decided to tear into it. It wore it's original white paint, and had red interior. The only rust on the car was below the rear glass window, which I cut out and welded in new metal. That was it! The floor, quarters and doors are immaculate for a car of its age, and no major damage anywhere!
1966 Ford Falcon NOT RUNNING YET
Rebuilt 302, ZERO Miles on motor since rebuild. Mexican block(stronger with beefier main caps and ARP STUDS) Heads are reworked 351 Windsor heads for the larger valves(Stainless), Comp-Cams roller rockers, Edelbrock intake and carb, mild performance hydraulic cam with a decent idle. Aluminum valve covers.
Ford Toploader 4 speed transmission. Original factory shifter, tunnel hump, clutch pedal and linkage.
9 inch rear axle. The differential has a 3:1 ratio, Non-posi (open).
Wheels are stock 14 inch steel with old used tires, the rims in the photos were borrowed for the car show which I won 3rd in the "In progress" class. (The motor wasn't in at the time, and the other two cars that got 1st and 2nd were running already)
NEW disc brakes, stock 4 piston caliper, not the later Granada brakes.
NEW front suspension COMPLETE, including a 1 Inch sway bar.
Reconditioned steering box.
Tie rods are the old ones, haven't gotten around to replacing them yet, and needed to get the wheels connected to the steering wheel before the car show. I have a pair of either the inner or outer can't remember which, that are new and included.
All bodywork and paint was done by me in a professional bodyshop where I work. The car was completely stripped down to the bare steel and primed with an epoxy primer. The paint is BASF's UNO, which is a very high quality single stage (About $800 for the gallon of Red paint, not counting the primers, and the hardeners and reducers for all of it). The dash, and all interior metal parts are painted black base coat/clear coat with BASF's R-M paint. (Same paint Chip Foose uses, not to say I'm any bit as good as he is, just so you know it's good quality paint in case you haven't heard of it before). There is no body-mods, all emblem holes are still present. The only change I had made is cut the hole in the dash larger for an aftermarket stereo(Standard size), and filled in the hole on the top of the dash that was for the single speaker and the slotted holes used for mounting a dash pad. The defroster openings are still there to be functional. I smoothed out the top of the dash and is painted with a flattened clear coat. I used a flattened clear so there won't be so much glare from the sun as it hits the dash through the window. The lower section of the dash is still gloss black like the rest of the interior. All of the parts were painted separately off of the car as you can see in photos.
Paint code is Ford: E4 "Vermilion Red" Does NOT look orange in the sun.
I have a lot of photos showing progress of the car, more than I care to post on this eBay ad. I can eMail additional photos to anyone serious about purchasing this car.
This car is obviously not completely assembled. However I have all the original usable parts to complete it. Most still need some reconditioning (ie. Bumpers and seats), but all of the hard work is done to the car. I have a lot of spare parts that go with the car. So if you have the car shipped on a car hauler third party, you will still need to come by or arrange for someone to pick up all of the parts that go with it. I do not have the time to pack all the little and large parts separately. Everything should fit in a small uhaul trailer or a pickup bed.
Here are just a few thing that still need to be done:
Upholstery, including headliner, carpet, door panels and seats. I have the original door panels, misc trim parts and rear seat. The front seats are high back seats out of a late 70's era Camaro. I do not have the original seats, they were MIA when I purchased the car.
Weatherstripping (I have a new set of belt-line moldings, which is the set that goes in the door on either side of the glass)
Glass all needs to be installed. (There is no windshield, I will have my glass guy come by and install one once auction successfully ends and I receive a deposit.) All other glass is original and in good condition.
Exhaust system
Wiring and gauges(I have all the original wiring and a couple sets of original gauges)
Everything under the dash needs installed. (ie. wiring, heater, defroster, glove box innards etc..)
Bumpers re-chromed
Grille and headlight buckets
Fuel line and brake lines ran to the rear of car and gas tank installed.
Drive-shaft cut to fit and installed
Pretty wheels and tires (your personal preference,I won't make you pay for wheels that I like and that you might not, everyone has their own personal tastes there, so it comes with ugly stock ones to roll around on)
Tie rods changed out (I have one new pair, as mentioned above)
Clutch linkage connected
Misc odds and ends like door handles, gas filler neck, emblems etc....
The door latches are installed and work from the inside or from a rod through the hole on the outside where the handle goes. All panels and gaps are adjusted and open and close with ease as they should.
Any questions feel free to send an eMail, if you wish to speak directly please include your phone number and a time to reach you. Thank you for looking.

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer. Scroll down to read the all the details.

Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
