 You are looking at a 1966 Ford Galaxie convertible that I am listing for a friend. He purchased the car earlier this summer thinking it would make a great driver for his wife - but alas she does not like the car. (she
does like it - but feels it is way too big for her to drive). So - as things have turned out he has decided to sell the car. In looking the car over it is solid with a newer paint job apparent. The black interior is in good
overall condition with no rips or tears. The carpeting is in great condition and the convertible top is newer as well. The top motors work great to put it up/down. Note that the rear glass is REAL glass NOT plastic
like most of the replacement tops use. There is an underdash stereo that my buddy has never used which is hooked up to speakers in the trunk with a booster as well. Note that the original push button factory radio
is still in place in the dash (so the dash was not chopped up to install an aftermarket radio in it) Wear items - such as pedal pads etc look to be original to the car and are not excessively worn, indicating a high mileage
car. The odometer shows 4286 but I would believe that the  odometer has turned over at least once (see mileage  in the listing header - no way knowing for sure what it really is). All the glass is in good condition.
The body is solid as stated and all the gaps are straight. The doors hang straight with no sag and the bottoms are good. Rockers, fender and 1/4 bottoms look good. Chrome still is shiny and not all pitted and all the
aluminum trim is in good condition including the grille. Note that the headlight trim and tail light chrome would need to be re-chromed for show, but they are great as they are for a really nice driver. Tires are newer
15 inch radials with nice wheel covers. The trunk appears as it should - with nice original carpet and spare tire cover. Running gear - 390 V8 big block. The engine APPEARS to have been out for rebuild - this is stated
because it does run great, has headers, late model HEI ignition, Edelbrock aluminum intake with Edelbrock 4 bbl. carburetor and it was detailed when out. We cannot guarantee this however!!!. Newer hoses and
belts have been installed along with a one wire alternator. Engine starts right up and runs great. Sounds great too through the headers and dual exhaust. Transmission works fine and provides nice smooth cruising.
Win the bid - fly in - take the train or bus or come with a buddy (or your better half) and drive this baby home..

Again - please note that I am listing this car for a friend. Should you have any questions or want more pictures please contact me through e-bay or call me at 269 795-2647. I will do my best to get back to you with

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
