You are looking at a 1968 Ford Falcon Futura 2 Door Coupe. This is a no reserve auction that I am listing for my neighbor and I will get any and all info from him that you may need. This car is in a very restorable condition as it is mostly complete and a solid car to start with. The engine is a 302 possibly out of a mid 1980's Ford Mustang with an automatic trans. behind it. The motor runs rough but will run and drive. The motor needs to be timed, tuned and final installation touches done. Look at the pictures as the car pretty much speaks for itself. The frame has some rust around the rear leaf spring area that should be a pretty easy patch job, and there is some rust through in the quarters and trunk. The interior is white and black and seems to be complete except the drivers door panel, but needs to be reupholstered. The bumpers and some of the grille parts are inside the car. The wheels and tires are in good shape, and this will roll onto your trailer with no problems. The odometer is showing 36755.4 but the title says exempt because of the age of the car, so the actual mileage is unknown. Overall this is a great car to start out with for a rebuild project, or one heck of a nice drag car body! This car has an open Nebraska title. Feel free to contact Ryan at 402-310-329seven for any more information. A $200.00 deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction close, with the remaining balance due within 30 days. I will accept a personal or business check as long as it is received by me 14 days prior to vehicle pick up, but cash works best! This car will continue to be stored outside until you come pick it up. If your not picking this up yourself please give me a minimum of 1 weeks notice of when it will be picked up, and all contact info of the shipper. Thanks and good luck!

2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.
Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology
Tue, 20 Apr 2010In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
