1965 Ford Falcon Sprint. There's a pic of the door tag so you can break it down yourself if you wish.

This car is in amazing condition overall and it would be very hard to find one this nice; I know it took me forever to find this one!

Originally from California, moved to dry Eastern Washington some years later which is where I found it. 65,013 believable original miles. As far as I can tell about 6 owners.  I cannot prove the miles, but if you know cars and look at the condition on this one, I think you will agree the 65K is right. There are many elements to the car that indicate the dry life and low miles. For example, the original grill has appropriate wear for the mileage, and there are lots more "tells" as you look it over. Underneath, clean and dry, not detailed, this is an honest car!

Engine/Drivetrain:

Drivetrain all fresh/tight/ready to go. 302 is NOM, but sweet runner w/mild cam, just right for driving. Rearend has an upgraded 9" w bung added for easy lube changes. Mechanically there has been restoration and upgrades, the car needs nothing mechanically. Engine, transmission, rearend, brakes (front disc.), AC, exhaust, tires, wheels; all upgraded/repaired/maintained and fully functional.

Interior:

Near mint interior. Factory AC, works great, blows cold. If you come look at it and pay for it, I will agree to ship the car (to AZ, CA, etc.). Seats covers have been replaced, still has the original console, appears to be original carpet/headliner. E-brake works, has original handle. Turn signals, wipers, everything works! Interior needs nothing. I do have and will include with the sale the original steering wheel and all parts/springs/etc. to put it back on if someone so desired. On the drivers door upper portion, there is a dent. It looks like it took a hard elbow or something at some point along the way, don't know and no matter what, there are so many positives to the inside, this is minor, and could be fixed pretty easily too.

Body:

Near mint body. Has had one re-spray, jambs were not done, you can tell this is a black car from new, see pic showing door tag. All body panels and trim are original, there is no evidence of any accidents. Paint and panel fit/straightness is all very nice. The paint is older however, and there are 4 flaws: decklid has small rub-through, body seam from trunk on driver side has small cracking in the lead, roof and passenger door have small (50 cent size) areas of checking in the paint. Otherwise paint is very very nice and these four small imperfections are not noticed by anybody looking at the car. I know they are there and if you really inspect the car, you would find these 4 spots. This is a black car; obviously if the body was not cherry it would easily show right away. 

Overall:

This one is a nice mix of "original and unrestored" and "upgraded".  It is an honest car with amazing bones and must have been garaged most of it's life. Very tough to find an original like this. At the same time, the upgrades all are very tasteful and make sense/add value (disc brakes, factory AC retained, sweet motor/exhaust, etc.).  I don't see where an all original car could be bought and put in this condition for the price, not to mention the rarity of this car. Just finding a 65 Sprint that is unhacked and somebody would let go of is near impossible. It took me many years to acquire this one. If not for shifting circumstances in my life, I would not let go of this car. 

In closing:
I am a busy person with a lot of responsibilities every day at work and a Family to deal with too, so please try and contact me only if you are a serious buyer, I don't have enough spare time in a day to just chat about the car with everybody. Thanks for understanding that part, and thanks for looking!

Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013



The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
