SELLER REMARKS

Full-sized '60s luxury muscle is red hot in the market right now, and cars like this 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 hardtop are the reason why. Built with equal amounts of performance and comfort, full-sized cars like this can cruise cross-country effortlessly, and still dispatch lesser machines in the stop light grand prix.

The door tag says this one came from the factory in two-tone Ivy Green over Sauterne Gold and today this car wears a beautiful coat of that correct color combination. Laying flat on the straight sheetmetal, those earthy tones highlight each other nicely and show crisp reflections. All of the correct trim and emblems are present, giving it an authentic look while chrome bumpers grace the front and rear of the long car. The doors, hood, and trunk fit very nicely and shut with the authority you would expect from a late model European luxury automobile. Classic Magnum 500 wheels provide some muscular appeal and are wrapped in fresh white wall tires.

Inside, light ivy gold "Crinkle" vinyl and light ivy gold "Olympia" pattern cloth covers the front and rear bench for a very handsome look. The car underwent a restoration in 2003, however, the workmanship is so good and the materials are accurate that it definitely passes for a well-maintained original. The seats are firm and comfortable, with no splits or tears in the covers, and the matching carpets are excellent. A two-tier dashboard puts the speedometer and AM radio up high where they're easy to see, while the auxiliary and air conditioning controls are in their own pod just below. But for the sake of preserving the factory dash, an AM/FM radio and three Sunpro gauges measuring oil pressure, voltage, and water temperature have been mounted below.

Power comes from a 289 cubic inch V8, which powers the relatively lightweight Galaxie with ease. Dressed in Ford Blue with a black block and heads, it looks very period appropriate. It runs beautifully, typically firing up with a single turn of the key and idling with a smooth hum that fits the cars luxury/performance mission perfectly. Note the power steering and power brakes, which make this car a pleasure to drive, as well as the 3-speed automatic transmission which clicks through the gears cleanly.

This Galaxie 500 is a clean, honest car that will give years of happy motoring; it offers identical performance and more comfort than a Mustang, all for a fraction of the price. This is your chance if you've been looking for some muscular performance, classic looks, and luxurious comfort. Call today!

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Ford Ranger-based 7-seat SUV spotted testing

Wed, 29 May 2013

Ford looks to be working on a new SUV version of its global Ranger pickup truck. An early prototype of a seven-passenger SUV based on the Ranger has been spotted testing in Australia, and word has it buyers in the region could expect to see the model in showrooms as soon as 2014, where it could sail under the Endeavour or Everest badges. Ford Australia currently sells the Territory SUV, so there's some chance that this model could be a successor to that throne, as well.
Whatever it's called, the long-roof Ranger will feature a shorter wheelbase and more ground clearance than its pickup twin, giving the machine a bit more off-road functionality. (And here we thought we couldn't want the global Ranger any more than we already do.) While this particular vehicle sports a Territory back half grafted onto a Ranger front end, odds are a public reveal of the finished product could occur as soon as the second half of 2014, making it a 2015 model. Head over to Carsguide.com.au for a closer look.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
