We are moving and third baby forces sale of my beloved project car. I am a professional automotive painter, and this was my personal project until my son came along and we had to buy a minivan. Needless to say, for a multitude of reasons, I must sell the Falcon that I've put countless hours into. Okay, now on to details of the car.

I purchased this original California car back home in Modesto California about 8 years ago, brought it up to Idaho with me when I moved, and finally decided to tear into it. It wore it's original white paint, and had red interior. The only rust on the car was below the rear glass window, which I cut out and welded in new metal. That was it! The floor, quarters and doors are immaculate for a car of its age, and no major damage anywhere!

1966 Ford Falcon NOT RUNNING YET

Rebuilt 302, ZERO Miles on motor since rebuild. Mexican block(stronger with beefier main caps and ARP STUDS) Heads are reworked 351 Windsor heads for the larger valves(Stainless), Comp-Cams roller rockers, Edelbrock intake and carb, mild performance hydraulic cam with a decent idle. Aluminum valve covers.

Ford Toploader 4 speed transmission. Original factory shifter, tunnel hump, clutch pedal and linkage.

9 inch rear axle. The differential has a 3:1 ratio, Non-posi (open).

Wheels are stock 14 inch steel with old used tires, the rims in the photos were borrowed for the car show which I won 3rd in the "In progress" class. (The motor wasn't in at the time, and the other two cars that got 1st and 2nd were running already)

NEW disc brakes, stock 4 piston caliper, not the later Granada brakes.

NEW front suspension COMPLETE, including a 1 Inch sway bar.

Reconditioned steering box.

Tie rods are the old ones, haven't gotten around to replacing them yet, and needed to get the wheels connected to the steering wheel before the car show. I have a pair of either the inner or outer can't remember which, that are new and included.

All bodywork and paint was done by me in a professional bodyshop where I work. The car was completely stripped down to the bare steel and primed with an epoxy primer. The paint is BASF's UNO, which is a very high quality single stage (About $800 for the gallon of Red paint, not counting the primers, and the hardeners and reducers for all of it). The dash, and all interior metal parts are painted black base coat/clear coat with BASF's R-M paint. (Same paint Chip Foose uses, not to say I'm any bit as good as he is, just so you know it's good quality paint in case you haven't heard of it before). There is no body-mods, all emblem holes are still present. The only change I had made is cut the hole in the dash larger for an aftermarket stereo(Standard size), and filled in the hole on the top of the dash that was for the single speaker and the slotted holes used for mounting a dash pad. The defroster openings are still there to be functional. I smoothed out the top of the dash and is painted with a flattened clear coat. I used a flattened clear so there won't be so much glare from the sun as it hits the dash through the window. The lower section of the dash is still gloss black like the rest of the interior. All of the parts were painted separately off of the car as you can see in photos.

Paint code is Ford: E4 "Vermilion Red" Does NOT look orange in the sun.

I have a lot of photos showing progress of the car, more than I care to post on this eBay ad. I can eMail additional photos to anyone serious about purchasing this car.

This car is obviously not completely assembled. However I have all the original usable parts to complete it. Most still need some reconditioning (ie. Bumpers and seats), but all of the hard work is done to the car. I have a lot of spare parts that go with the car. So if you have the car shipped on a car hauler third party, you will still need to come by or arrange for someone to pick up all of the parts that go with it. I do not have the time to pack all the little and large parts separately. Everything should fit in a small uhaul trailer or a pickup bed.

Here are just a few thing that still need to be done:

Upholstery, including headliner, carpet, door panels and seats. I have the original door panels, misc trim parts and rear seat. The front seats are high back seats out of a late 70's era Camaro. I do not have the original seats, they were MIA when I purchased the car.

Weatherstripping (I have a new set of belt-line moldings, which is the set that goes in the door on either side of the glass)

Glass all needs to be installed. (There is no windshield, I will have my glass guy come by and install one once auction successfully ends and I receive a deposit.) All other glass is original and in good condition.

Exhaust system

Wiring and gauges(I have all the original wiring and a couple sets of original gauges)

Everything under the dash needs installed. (ie. wiring, heater, defroster, glove box innards etc..)

Bumpers re-chromed

Grille and headlight buckets

Fuel line and brake lines ran to the rear of car and gas tank installed.

Drive-shaft cut to fit and installed

Pretty wheels and tires (your personal preference,I won't make you pay for wheels that I like and that you might not, everyone has their own personal tastes there, so it comes with ugly stock ones to roll around on)

Tie rods changed out (I have one new pair, as mentioned above)

Clutch linkage connected

Misc odds and ends like door handles, gas filler neck, emblems etc....

The door latches are installed and work from the inside or from a rod through the hole on the outside where the handle goes. All panels and gaps are adjusted and open and close with ease as they should.

Any questions feel free to send an eMail, if you wish to speak directly please include your phone number and a time to reach you. Thank you for looking.

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.

Next-gen Ford Cobra Jet development underway, but will it be a Mustang?

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

Ford might be stepping away from the NHRA, but it isn't abandoning drag racing altogether. Hot Rod says that Ford confirmed a next-gen Cobra Jet factory drag racer is in the works, but the report also speculates that a new Cobra Jet could switch away from the Mustang nameplate.
Even though talk of a new Cobra Jet coincides with the all-new 2015 Mustang, the lack of confirmation for the dragster's platform leaves Hot Rod to guess that the car might switch to another platform - specifically a front-drive-based, unibody car like the Fusion or Taurus. We'd hate to think of a world with a NASCAR-ized dragster from Ford Racing, but it's also highly unlikely that the Mustang Cobra Jet would step away from its quarter-mile rivals like the Chevy COPO Camaro and Dodge Challenger Drag Pak.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
