Customized 1965 Ford Falcon Hardtop on 2040-cars
Midlothian, Virginia, United States
|
ITEM You are bidding on a customized 1965 Ford Falcon hardtop. The car has won numerous awards including 1st place in the Modified category at the 2010 Falcon Club of America National meeting in Dearborn, MI. The car was built in SW North Carolina and has been driven less than 5000 miles since the restoration was completed. I've owned the car about 4 years and am the second owner since the completion of the build. The car is a great driver but is usually trailered on long trips to minimize damage to the paint. The car is powered by a rebuilt 302 CID SBF engine with a 4 barrel Edelbrock carb, a Dan Williams top-loader 4 speed transmission and a Hurst shifter. The engine breathes through Doug's full length headers, Flowmaster mufflers with the pipes exiting ahead of the rear tires. A narrowed 8" Ford open rear completes the drive-train. The exterior features a Crites fiberglass T-bolt style hood, side and rear trim and factory emblems have been removed and custom pin-stripping has been applied to the sides and rear. Paint is a Sherwin-Williams BC/CC. A stock steel hood painted to match the car is included with the auction. The build included a new radiator and hoses and an electric pusher fan mounted in front of the radiator. The fan has not been connected, but the sale includes a Ron Francis electric fan wiring kit and relay. The factory wiring harness was removed and a Ron Francis Bare-Bonz wiring harness was installed. The fuse and relay panel is mounted above the driver's side kick panel and the wiring harness is completely color keyed and labeled. The interior features Mustang bucket seats with custom upholstery, custom headliner, an engine turned Haneline instrument cluster with TPI instruments, a custom aluminum dash insert on the passenger's side, new carpet with dynamat underlayment, a Pioneer radio, a custom console and a Grant steering wheel. The windshield was replaced with the build and all new window seals, weatherstripping and window fuzzies were installed. The rear window has a blemish and another used rear window is included with the sale. The car rides on 17" Billet Specialties Fast Lane wheels and BFG G-Sport tires. Front tires are 205/50-17R and the rears are 245/45-17R. The rear wheel wells have been mini-tubbed and the rear springs have been relocated inside the rear frame rails. Subframe connectors have been installed. At one point, the car was being built as a drag racer but the prior owner purchased it and built it as a pro-touring style street car. The stock fuel tank had been removed, the trunk floor filled, a 14 gallon fuel cell installed and braces were installed in the trunk in anticipation of drag racing the car. The braces and fuel cell could be removed, a stock type gas tank could be installed and the trunk could be finished to match the custom interior if a future owner wishes. The prior owner had the car appraised in 2009 and it was valued at $35,000. Since owning the car, I have installed a new Optima red-top battery, a reproduction 5 blade fan and heavy duty shroud, both emergency brake cables, Beam seat belts, reproduction hood hinges, a new clutch kit, pressure plate, TOB, dual reservoir master cylinder and a Wilwood proportioning valve and had the car pin-stripped. The only issues with the car is a slight water leak on the driver's side, the blemish on the rear window, the passenger side courtesy light switch needs to be replaced ($10 part) and the heater fan has quit working recently. The heater fan has just quit working and I have not had a chance to locate the problem. I have a clear Virginia title for the car. The car is located in Richmond, Virginia. I've described the car as best as I can and I would urge interested bidders to inspect the car in person. Weather permitting, the car will be at the Ford Fever Classic show at Budd's Creek Dragway (Maryland International Raceway) on Saturday, November 9th for your inspection. Send me a message if you plan to see the car there and I will give you my cell phone number. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I have listed the car with a reserve and I will not reveal what the reserve price is. I will say that the reserve price is considerably less than the apprised value. Check my eBay rating and bid with confidence. SHIPPING If the successful bidder does not want to drive the car home, he will be responsible for selecting a shipper and for all costs associated with shipping the car to a new location. I will work with the shipper of your choice to coordinate pick-up. PAYMENT A $1000 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the close of the auction. Please don't bid if you must arrange financing or if you do not have permission from your wife to buy the car. Final payment is due within 7 days of the close of the auction. Final payment must be made with cash or a wire transfer to my bank account. If using a wire transfer, the car and title will not be released until my bank notifies me that the money has been credited to my account. |

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.
Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency
Wed, 27 Mar 2013You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.
