For sale is a 1967 Ford Falcon Futura Wagon with a 289 V8. The car has A CLEAR NORTH CAROLINA TITLE in my name. It has 158,700 miles on it and it does run and does drive. It is optioned from the factory with the 289 V8, Automatic Transmission, 3.00:1 Rear Gear Ratio, Air Conditioning, Power Assist Ram Steering, Power Brakes, Power Rear Window, Luggage Rack, Front Sway Bar, Towing Package Rear Suspension, Day/Night Mirror, and AM Radio. The car is a highly optioned car within a low production run 1 of Approx. 4500 made so it would be a good candidate for an as is fixer upper driver, a full restoration, or a resto-mod car.

Please read on for more specifics of the car:

Body/Paint: The body is in fair condition with minimal rot with some surface rust all as pictured.-Specifically the lower portion of the tailgate, in front of the rear tire area above the outer rocker panels near the back doors, under the tail light, and some other small attention areas. The front and rear floors are solid and the big trunk floor is 98% with only a couple small pin holes in the rear corner about a foot towards the middle, and a foot forward from the back tailgate.(probably due to moisture sitting under the rear trunk rubber floor mat). The paint is original and it maintains its copper color, the wheels are black with painted silver dog dish hubcaps.

Interior: The interior is original to the car and showing some wear. The headliner should be replaced as well as the carpet and dash pad. The original bench seats are in good condition with the only blemish being on the drivers seat bottom as pictured. The original rubber trunk mat is also still in the car. The door windows all roll up and down as they should.

Electrical: The wiring harness and original wiring are present and work. All of the gauges except for the fuel gauge work, all of the exterior lights work as well. The blower for the AC or heater does not turn on. The AM radio does turn on and work but would need a new dash speaker. I had the power rear window motor disassembled, fixed and reinstalled so the window went up and down, but it just stopped in the full up(closed) position, not sure why now.

Running Gear:Original 289 V8 engine that runs. It was tuned up with new plugs, cap, and rotor also an oil change with valvoline oil and a motorcraft filter. A new Duralast Lifetime starter and fan belts were installed as well. A new fuel filter was installed as well as a mild carburetor freshen performed. The engine still retains a miss that should go away with driving it. I would go through engine and re-gasket it to make it 100% and reliable. The AC needs to be recharged. The heater core is bypassed. The radiator does have a decent leak and should be replaced. However the transmission was rebuilt by the previous owner and shifts properly. The rear end is a 9" and has a 3.00 gear.

Steering/Suspension: The power assist steering ram leaks and needs to be rebuilt. The steering components are original and have been greased where greasable. The suspension is stock and original with the optional towing package rear leaf springs and front sway bar.

Brakes: Optional power front and rear drum brakes with booster working properly. The brakes have been gone through with 4 wheel cylinders, hoses, and the master cylinder being replaced. I had new bearings and inner wheel seals installed in the front hubs while the brakes were being serviced.

Glass: All of the glass is original and not cracked.

Bright work: All of the correct original brightwork is on the car.

Exhaust: Currently has old duel dumps exiting under the car, but needs a full exhaust system put on.

Wheels/Tires: The wheels are 14" steelies with dog dish hub caps, with 4 decent tires.

Summary: The car is not the best I've seen, but by far not the worst. Keep in mind I have driven this car through all 3 gears up to 60 mph, and it was not just once or twice, so it does work under its own power. With its rarity and high options, clear title, running condition, and its ability to drive and stop, it makes it all worth the while. It is a cool car and I have not seen another one in person to date.

Disclaimer: The car is for sale locally. The owner has the right to cancel the auction at any time for any reason. No warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied with the car being sold in "AS IS" condition.

If you have any questions about the car at all, please feel free to ask and I will post them to the eBay page for everyone to see.

Thank you for your time and interest. Happy Bidding!

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
