1968 Ford Falcon Sport Coupe on 2040-cars
Bel Alton, Maryland, United States
|
This is a 1968 Falcon Sport Coupe. The cars original suspension has been removed and replaced by a mustang II font end with coil over shocks and sway bar with rack and pinion steering. The rear leaf springs have been removed and replaced by a pro ladder bar suspension with coil over shocks and adjustable ride height as well as a track bar. The fuel tank has been removed and a 12 gallon fuel cell installed in the trunk. The battery has also been relocated to the trunk. The wiring harness has been replaced by a kwik harness. The original motor and trans were replaced by a 429 built motor and a C6 built trans with a 2500 stall converter. This motor puts out right at 590hp to the flywheel. It has a comp cam and valve train, electric water pump, Weiand intake, demon 850 carb, HEI distributor with Taylor wires, and Sanderson headers. The fuel system is 6AN stainless line from the holley electric pump to the carburetor. The exhaust is flowmaster. The drive shaft is custom built as well and hooks to a 9" rear with a nascar 410 diff. The brakes are aluminum 4 wheel disc SSBC calipers and slotted rotors with power brakes. The emergency brake (Lokar) has been relocated to the center hump between the seats. The shifter has been relocated to the floor and is a B&M slap shifter. The dash has been fiberglassed and 3 gauges added to the center of it. All gauges are autometer. The interior is all new reupholstered seats and side panels. There is a new headliner too. The carpet and kick panels are new. That is the good. Now the not so good. The brake lines will need to be replaced due to contamination. I do have all new stainless lines that go with it. The emergency brake works but needs adjustment. There is some rust under the front cowl where the air ducts were. The wiper components have been removed. The body is in descent shape for its age with a little rust. Most of the rust is around the trunk where the seal goes. The back roll pan also has some rust where the rear bumper goes. The hood is fiberglass and needs hinges or hood locks to mount it. The dash will need a little more fiberglass work to the finish to complete it. The engine runs great, but the carb needs to be rebuilt. The trans shifts great. The rear axle splines and bearings are all new. The floor pans have been replaced and painted with POR15. There is a set of front 5 point DOT seat belts that will need to be installed. I love this car, but my financial state is forcing me to sale it. I have over 15k invested in this car. These vehicles are very hard to find. The only part missing is the rear bumper. I have more pictures if needed.

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates
Fri, 05 Sep 2014The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.
2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013
It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.
