mounted to a rebuilt C6 tranmission with a stage 3 shift kit built for high
performance. The Galaxie 500XL models were slightly different from the
Galaxie 500 models. The XL stood for "eXtra Luxury"that included
luxurious interior trim, console, and bucket seats for that "racing
feel". The 1969 Ford 429 4V Thunderjet Engine w/ factory 360+ horsepower - Low mileage motor that was rebuilt about 3000 miles ago - Has stock 1969 429 crank, camshaft, valvesprings, and pistons - It has the C9VE High Compression heads with Felpro 1018 head gaskets -

Engine and the Transmission function perfectly with no leaks. The car
drives well and has manual steering and manual brakes with 4 wheel
drums. The trim looks good, the bumpers are original and look
acceptable, and single outlet chrome lake pipes were added to the
vehicle. The frame is straight and in good condition. The body does have
some filler in the lower quarter panels, the floors are solid, and the
trunk had new sheet metal welded in years ago. There is a brand new set
of 17X8 Cragar S/S's all the around the vehicle with new z rated BF
Goodrich Tires on the rear. The rearend is a Ford 9 inch with a factory
3.25 gear. There
is a lot of new parts on the car such as a Tuff Stuff 100 Amp
alternator, dual 40 series Flowmaster exhaust, master cylinder, wiring, radio, carpet,
sound deadener on the floor, door panels, door switchs, dash bezels,
and a hood latch emblem. The car needs a 4 terminal single speed wiper
switch and a right AIR vent cable. All the dome and door lights work, and all the instrument lights light up like a Christmas tree at night. The fuel gauge works, the cooling gauge was disabled and switched over to a more accurate gauge, the oil pressure indicator light was switched over to a manual gauge, and a volt meter was added. The cooling system has a 160 thermostat, that holds near that temperature even on the hottest summer days. This is car is ready to drive and cruise! Its been garaged for the past 11 years I've owned it, and in that time it has never seen any rain. I have taken it to smaller local car shows, and it always stands out from the other cars. I enjoyed owning this car and cruising around for fun, but unfortunately I have to sell this car. If there are any questions, feel free to ask. |

Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.
GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings
Thu, 31 Jul 2014The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
