1965 Ford Falcon Futura 302 No Rust Straight Car on 2040-cars
Siletz, Oregon, United States
|
1965 Ford Falcon Futura. This is a straight Falcon purchased in Reno, NV. Dave was told by previous owner that it was the owner of circus-circus's car originally (no documentation though), and that he's the third owner. I believe this car has been garaged its whole life. I can say with certainty that it's been garaged the last 8 years.Dave built this car for speed, and was only allowed one pass at the Woodburn Oregon drag strip. It ran in the 10's and was told to get it back on the trailer until I put a roll cage in.
OK, Let's start with the engine. It has a 302 bored .30 over, trick flow iron heads, headers, 9 qt. Moroso oil pan, Weiand dual plane manifold, holley 650 cfm carb, Mallory distributor and wires, Earls fittings, hoses, and filter, x-system exhaust with supertrapps, driveshaft loop, three speed automatic transmission with B&M ratchet shifter, 4.56 gears with limited slip, and an eight inch rear end.It has heavy duty springs, traction bars, and battery mounted in trunk. The interior has stock headliner and rear seat in good shape for age. The front is two racing bucket seats with 4 pt. harness. It has after market guages mounted underneath the dash (check pics) no radio installed The exterior is rust free, and the body is pretty straight. (Once again, check pics) We tried to point out little flaws, but they're hard to see in the pics.The door locks, and the antenna are missing, as you can see in the pics. The tires have 95% of the tread left. Extras included with the car are straight rust free front left and right fenders, stock hood, and stock rear end. The car has a clear title. The only other item I've sold worth more than a couple hundred bucks, was Dave's 1940 Indian motorcycle a couple years ago. So, he told me he'd be willing to do a no reserve with low starting price. The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Dave did say, that if a bid is in, he'll honor it, and not end the auction. At end of auction 500.00 paypal deposit required, and we can make pick up or shipping arrangements. Any questions, and I won't be surprised if there are some, call Dave at 541-270-7699. You may have to leave message, but he'll get back to you. You can ask questions here, and if I can't answer, I'll get the answer from Dave. This is a nice car that won't disappoint. Odometer says almost 70,000, but may, or may not be correct. Please check out the video on youtube. On search put in 1965 ford falcon Futura 302 Thanks for looking. |

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
