1964 Ford Falcon bought car to restore but also have a 65 model V8 car so I'm selling this one. I have only owned the car for 6 months but I'll tell you what I know. Car runs and drives and stops. but I would not plan on driving it home. Since I have owned it I replaced the gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump and rebuilt the carb. Basically got it running and driving since it has been sitting a while. Manual brakes are good looks like most of the system was replaced not long ago. interior is as shown front carpet has been cut out floor pans have been replaced at some time. Car needs body work and has some rust bubbling up through paint. all glass is good and windows function like they should. Just had it aligned last week but steering is a little loose, no power assist but steers easy. C4 Transmission shifts good through all three gears however kick down has not been hooked up. Motor runs fine has a hooker header on it ( needs header gasket) and straight dual exhaust with glass packs, actually sounds nice. Was told motor was rebuild with a small cam in it and it does sound a little better than stock. I ran the numbers on engine and it comes back to a 1978 Ford 200 six so it is not original. I also have a 1967 289 engine that goes with it if the buy it now is chosen it comes with a rebuild kit as shown including intake and exhaust manifolds, crank and bore checks out good just hone the bores polish the crank a little and it should be good to go. Well that's about all I know You can call or text me at 276-619-4844 with any questions....John

I've have added some pic of undercarriage but ebay would not me add any more, as you can see the floor pans have had work done on both sides, spring hangers are good, torq boxes are fairly solid I picked the car up by them on the lift. If you need more I'll have to email them to you. I have had several people say the don't need the 289 motor so the buy it now without the extra engine is $3000.00 ..John

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list
Tue, 09 Jul 2013The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
