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 The wiring harness has been replaced by a kwik harness.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 hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.
