   1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible 390ci V-8 Priced Right.     HI, I am auctioning off a really cool Ford Convertible. The ole Galaxie has a great running 390ci FE engine and the Ford-o-matic transmission shifts good also. The body is fairly decent with some dents, dings, and normal rust issues that come with a 1963 model vehicle. From what I can tell { and I've been all over this thing pretty good } structurally the car is pretty good. The frame is in really good condition and the body to frame supports looked really good also. The inner rockers are in decent shape. The inner rear wheel wells are good, floor pans has been replaced a long time ago, but the trunk floor and the side trunk floor drop downs needs to be replaced. The outer quarter panels are pretty rough from middle to down low and will need some metal repairs or replacement. The doors feel good and solid underneath and the front fenders look pretty good too. The inner front fenders is good, the front and rear A-arm cross members are very good, front and rear leaf spring perches are very solid, and the convertible X rail in the center of the frame is excellent. Please look at the pictures because the Galaxie will need some body work but it is a pretty good ole convertible that you can drive and restore as you go. The interior is pretty much all there but will need restoring or you can live with all the flaws and drive it like it is for awhile. The head light switch is missing and someone wired in a couple of flip switches and the lights do work. The convertible top covering is gone but the top bows and mechanics are all there { top pump, lift ram cylinders, missing the top switch on the dash } the lift rams are disconnected so you can raise and lower the top manually. The Galaxie has power steering and drives and rides good. The tires are fair and the wheels are just plain steel. The rear end is a 9" with no whine or noise and the brakes work good.This is a great convertible that needs to be restored but it is priced right for that lucky winning bidder. Please look at all the pictures and ask all questions and i'll get back to you. Cash payment and pickup of vehicle is expected within 7 days of auction close. Shipping and pickup of vehicle is the buyers responsibility. This Ford does run and drive but please take notice that it is an old car that needs restoring, if you live a fair distance away I would suggest hauling the convertible home. All items are sold as is, where is. Please look at my feedback and bid with confidence, good luck and happy bidding, thanks.

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

What 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!

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
