1962 Ford Galaxie Convertible on 2040-cars
Waynesboro, Tennessee, United States
|
1962 Ford Galaxie Sunliner, which is a convertible. Has had some body work done by amateur, a bit rough. Needs paint. Has a good running V8, probably the 352 but could be a 390, has a 2 barrel carb so I am guessing 352 because of year of car. Has a center console and stick shift automatic trans, bucket seats but I don't think they are original, so this may be an XL Sunliner, but probably not and someone added a console to make it a clone and lost interest. Shifter works, but needs adjustment. Engine runs very well, the brakes work, it does stop but needs adjusting, maybe shoes. Does drive and shifts well, but trans has slow leak. This car has an x frame chassis, what I can see looks solid, and car sits level. Tires dry rotting from sitting but hold air for a couple of weeks or longer. I bought a new top for it when I bought it 6 years ago, it is still in the box,in the trunk. Also rear quarter sheet metal for 1 side. Full set of decent hub caps, correct originals, and good set of skirts. I start up, and then drive this car a little at least once every 2 months. I bought this car about 6 years ago, intending to restore it. I replaced the dashboard, and the one I put in looks new. And then I lost interest. The windshield has a score in it from wiper blade, otherwise clear. All the side trim is gone, and at least one fender has been replaced. The rear quarters are rusted out, and there are small holes in trunk. Floor pans were apparently replaced by amateur, and are heavy sheet metal screwed down. Look at the pictures and judge for yourself. I am selling it as is, where is. Buyer pays shipping. True mileage is anybody's guess, this car is 52 years old !! I do have a clear Tennessee title. |

Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival
Mon, 19 May 2014There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]
Wed, 09 Oct 2013As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.
