1969 Ford Galaxie Xl Barnfind Project Car on 2040-cars
Youngstown, Ohio, United States
|
For sale is a 1969 Ford XL special ordered with the optional 390 big block. This car is a nice starting point and isn't hiding anything. It has minor rust spots which are pictured. The worst is being the trunklid inner shell. I beleive it was replaced and the passenger quarter was fixed. Besides those two things being said, it still looks to be original paint everywhere else. What you see is what you get, this is not a bondo or primer bomb. The front floor pans have a small spot on each side which are pictured and everything else is absolutely perfect. The trunk pan is solid, the frame is nice and solid everywhere. The brakes work good too!!! They were all bled and cleaned. Did plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condenser, flushed tank and fuel system. It starts right up and purrs. It does need manifold and exhaust work. It has an idelbrock carb and intake. missing the AC compressor, but all complete otherwise. I do not have the original wheels and the carpet was trashed. The floors are all there for you to see, no dissapointments. All glass is in the car, no missing windows. This is a nice car to do your way. Has not been butchered and wont take too much to find the original parts to make it factory correct if thats the way your looking to go with it. Thank you for looking and happy bidding. Please, if you don't have at least 10 feedbacks, please call me before you bid, or it will be deleted. Tired of selling cars and not getting paid. Thank you. call A J @ 234-223-8759 if you have any questions.

Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.
