A really nice 1959 Galalxy 500 4 door hardtop. Very solid New Mexico car. Excellent entry level classic car or great candidate for a resto-mod. 99% complete just minor things like the hood badge etc are missing.
Im selling this for a friend and will post more pictures shortly. solid floors and body, headliner is intact and in very good condition. If you want to get into the classic car scene but dont have 20K to spend this is the car for you. drive it as is or do what most people I know do, remove the original 55 year old engine and tranny and slip in a modern mustang 5.0 with AOD transmission or other engine of your choice for great gas mileage, parts avalability and ease of adding options such as air conditioning or power steering. was running when parked.
The "bad". has a cracked right rear side window, the windshield and back light are OK. the wires to the horn and turn signal in the steering column need to be repaired, the interior is usuable but depending on what your choose to do with the car may want to replace it. will probably need tires. has been sitting for many years so I dont think you could drive it until you flush the fuel tank and the usual things needed to get a 55 year old car back on the road that's been sitting for a long time.
the car is being sold at "parts car" price due to having lost it's storage space and has to be removed asap. also open to a trade this car is being advertised locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. questions? dean 505-414-0617

Ford Australia launches Falcon GT F 351, last of its line [w/video]
Sun, 15 Jun 2014It's always best to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and Ford Performance Vehicles is doing just that in Australia with the Falcon GT F 351. It's the most powerful road car the Aussie performance brand has ever made with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 471 horsepower (351 kilowatts) and 420 pound-feet of torque. It's joined by the FPV Pursuit Ute with the same powerplant tuned to 422 hp and 402 lb-ft. Sadly, the last F in this Falcon's name stands for Final.
The GT F 351 is a monumental way to go out, though. It harkens back to the old days of Aussie muscle Fords, and the 351kw output is meant to reference the classic Falcon GT and its 351-cubic-inch V8. In addition to the massive power, the F has the improved suspension from the R-Spec model and Brembo brake calipers.
FPV is building just 500 GT F sedans for Australia and 50 more for New Zealand, plus 120 Pursuit Utes. They feature a blacked-out hood and black stripes over the hood and sides, plus gloss black accents around the headlights, door handles and mirrors.
Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
