Ford Falcon Futura Hardtop (project Car) on 2040-cars
Greenwood, Indiana, United States
|
This project was started over 2 years ago. The body is 90% complete. Extensive work has been professionally done including the following. New passenger quarter panel, 3 new frame rails (floor supports), new floor boards, . Other work also performed includes widened rear wheel tubs. The installation of a rust free cowl panel and deck lid. The fenders, doors, hood and rockers needed very little if any repairs. Hood has not been stripped. This vehicle also features a new 15 gal. fuel cell with sending unit. New 2" drop leaf springs. New custom built, welded in frame connectors. Stock 302 V8 and C-4 trans also included. It has an 8.8" rear axle. I have all the exterior stainless trim. I have all glass (windshield scratched). I also have the correct back seat. Bucket seats are included but they are not original. I installed the doors and fenders for the photos only, they need to be properly installed after edges are painted. . This vehicle still needs some very light body work and block sanding before paint. I will also consider partial or even trades for a professionally built, complete, high performance Ford 331 / 347 / 351 engine as long as paperwork is provided to prove it. I would also consider a posi unit for a Ford 9". Disc brake conversion kit and or front suspension for my 67 Mustang Fastback. This Falcon will make a great Street Rod, Custom or even a light weight race car for the right person!! |

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings
Mon, 29 Sep 2014While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
