1961 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan Custom California Classic Hot Rod Station Wagon on 2040-cars
Round Mountain, California, United States
|
1961 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan station wagon. This is a restored car with a completely professionally rebuilt 302 V8 and new AOD Automatic Overdrive Transmission with about 10,000 miles on the car since restoration. The 302 has a 2 bbl carb, runs strong and sounds great with the headers and side pipes. The AOD transmission is a really nice modern touch for this classic and we kept the shifter on the column. Radiator is new and this car will run all day in the summer without overheating. There's a nice temp gage installed under the dash. I get more thumbs up on the highway from this than any other car I've had. You just don't find these in this shape anymore without rust.
The paint is about 3 years old. There's no rust on this car anywhere. I included photos of the spare tire chamber and the area forward of the spare under the bed where you can see the original red paint and no rust damage. Vintage Cragar Keystone mag wheels. The rear wheel skirts were painted to match and are included with the car. I like the look without them but they can be put on easily. The molding, emblems and trim pieces are in really nice shape. All the doors and windows open and close as they should. The front bumper was re-chromed but all the other trim has its original patina. Grille is straight without any damage. Engine compartment was also restored and has a clean look. There's lots to show off on this car. Dash is original, not cut and painted to match the top as are the rest of the interior trim pieces. Rare electric window in the tailgate works great using the toggle switch on the dash. Floors were painted black and there is no rust. Seat covers are original. You can finish the interior to your taste or leave it as is. I have the headliner bows and they go with the car. All of the glass is original Ford Motor Co. script glass. Title is clear, in my name and there are no hidden DMV fees. Everything is current. Neat old classic wagon that was done right with style and can be driven home anywhere.

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
2015 Ford Mustang dealer order guide surfaces
Tue, 13 May 2014Details about the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang continue to leak out. In fact, at this point, it's more of a stream than a drip. Its option prices are already available, and now the full ordering guide is on the web for all of the trims thanks to the Mustang 6G forum. Ford is rapidly running out of secrets to keep about its new sports coupe.
The 21-page guide can be perused in the gallery below and contains all of the standard features, colors, options codes, descriptions. Generally everything you might want to know about the 'Stang is there, other than its price or power. It even shows off the available wheel designs.
The guide finally gives away the contents of the Performance Package for the EcoBoost and GT trims. The EcoBoost's package includes: A larger rear sway bar, new chassis tuning, larger brake rotors, 19-inch black wheels, retuned driver assistance systems, an aluminum dash panel, added gauge pack, 3.55 limited slip rear differential, larger radiator, heavy-duty front springs and spoiler delete. When the options pricing leaked, it indicated the package would cost $1,995. If that is the case, it seems like quite a deal.
Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
