Thank you for your interest and welcome to my auction for this very rare 1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible! 1961 Was a very distinct year for the Sunliner as it showcased the new signature round Ford taillights and last year of the mini-fins. In fact, these cars are so sought after Hagerty values a condition 1, 1961 Ford Sunliner Convertible the at nearly $70K!! Now, this is not a condition 1 car, however, it makes an excellent candidate for a full restoration project for those looking to put the time and money the car deserves and still see a return on investment if needed. And for those who want a weekend cruiser for your local car shows or simply drop the top on beautiful days...well this is a perfect candidate as well. This particular car has little things that make it quite unique and add to it's collectible value. It is so hard to find a 53 year old car with it's original keys! It has the original owners manual! It's also a 'X' Code Sunliner, meaning it came with a 352ci V8 from factory (I'm told this may not be the original motor). Included in the sale are original Ford Galaxie/Sunliner advertisements and brochures (see photos). As per the VIN, this is a factory black exterior with red vinyl interior and white top. The car was also came factory with the Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The Sunliner was the high-end model for the Galaxie line up and featured many upgrades such as: Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Top, A/C, and radio. All but a/c and radio are working on this car. As mentioned this car is a daily driver. The complete drivetrain including the motor, automatic transmission and rear end are in perfect working order. The interior shows very well, but does have wear and tear, such as the carpet, driver door panel and random interior finishes. The car does have a brand new top (no leaks). The exterior also shows well, but the car does need a paint job. It has fading in several spots. The car is not 100% rust free. Some rust is found on lower door panels and in the top of the trunk where it meets the convertible top (see photos). It's not rust that has eaten all the way through. It's still repairable. However, to my knowledge there is no chrome trims or moldings missing on the car (great news for those looking to restore). Several different parts, trims, moldings etc. are included in the sale (see photos). All main exterior lights are in working order, Wipers work, speedometer and odometer work. I have included as many photos possible to assist in our description. However, if you require additional photos and/or have any questions please feel free to contact me, Gaston via message or call/text (786) 486-7746.

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe
Tue, 01 Apr 2014There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.
