I have decided to sell my 1961 FORD Galaxie Sunliner Convertible. It's a very nice Car with ZERO RUST anywhere.
The Floors are Flawless and have been protected with por-15, I just installed Thermo-tec Sound/Heat Insulation covering the complete floor. Also has Brand New carpet. The Rest of the interior is very good as you can see in the pics, Not Perfect but Very, Very Good. Keeping with the interior, It has a new glove Box, Homemade Center console to house gauges and the new radio (so the dash has not been cut for a newer radio), There is just a delete plate where the original would go. Has a full set of Stewart Warner Gauges, The Oil Pres, Amp, Vac all work. The Water Temp, Fuel Pres are not hooked up. The Auto Meter Tach just Stopped working and I haven't looked into it yet. Turn Signals,Tail,Head Lights, High Beams, Interior Lights, Gauge Lights All work. The heater is all there, water hooked up, doesn't leak but the wires are not hooked up and haven't fixed it yet. The front seatbelts are RACEQUIP 3" Lap belts, NO rear seatbelts. All the window roll up and down perfect and trim, weatherstrip, doors seals are great, doors just beautifully. Top goes up and down like it should and is in great condition.
The engine is a just rebuilt 390 with a 428 Crank making it a 410ci. There is maybe 300-350 miles on it. It has a mild cam, New Holley 4160 Carb, Pertronix coil and Ignition upgrade, New Wires, Plugs, Etc. Cast Iron Headers, Original adjustable rockers but now has hydraulic lifters, New Flywheel and New Ram Clutch. 2-10" Electric Pusher fans on thermo switch. New Starter, This engine is not even broke in yet and runs great.
The Transmission is a Borg T-10 4 speed that was just rebuilt and works like it should. I Do NOT have the Flywheel Cover and dust shield for the trans. Also has a brand new driveshaft from Carolina Driveline.
As you can see from the pics, The body is in great condition but is NOT perfect. There are some issues that need to be fixed. The driver Door looks like a Jack hit it (happened before I got the car) It's a spot about 4" long and you can see it in the pic. There are 2 spots about the size of a dime where the paint got chipped near the rear of the car/drivers side. The last area is pass side rear where it looks like someone leaned against it, kinda hard to see though. The Chrome is in great Condition, Only one piece of trim is damaged slightly and thats the pass rear quarter(2 small dings). The hood has a metal hood scoop that was there when I bought it, Nicely done and it's growing on me I have to say. The trunk is very solid, no rust but again, the previous owner put a fuel cell on the car and cut a hole in the trunk floor(about 6"x6") to refuel, Has been working with no issues though. Grille is great. Again, This Body is extremely solid, no Rust.
The wheels are new American Racing Daytona's 18" Rear, 17" Front, Tires have about 300-350 miles on them.
Front End has been completely rebuilt using MOOG ball joints, A-arm bushings, New Shocks, Poly Sway bar End Links, New Drag Link, Etc, Very Tight.
Take a look at the Pics, Please ask any questions you may have... It's not a perfect car but you can't get much cooler than this one. I start all my auctions @ $1.00 so all can get in on the action.
Also may be into trades, Trades +, 30's thru the 60's cars, Cobra Kits, 911, Let me know.
Thank you and good Luck

A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor to get 365-hp EcoBoost option
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Speeders beware, the police are going to be getting quite a bit faster. Ford has just announced that it will be offering its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 in the Explorer Police Interceptor. The new engine will be joining the existing 3.7-liter V6. The 365-horsepower, 350-pound-foot mill should be familiar to consumers as the powerplant that's found in the Ford Taurus SHO (and its LEO equivalent, the Taurus Police Interceptor) and the Ford Explorer Sport. It should also provide quite a kick in the pants to officers used to the naturally aspirated 3.7 and its 304 ponies and 279 pound-feet of torque.
The move to the more potent powerplant was born out of all the equipment officers need to carry on a day-to-day basis. These days, there's so much stuff that police need on a regular basis, that there's a genuine market for a faster Police Interceptor Utility, as it's known officially. The Explorer-based cruiser has already accounted for 68 percent of Ford's LEO sales in 2013, and that's with just the 3.7, and we'd only expect that number to increase once the twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6 is available. Ford won't offer up any indication of what the take rate will be on the new engine, but we're guessing it'll be fairly high.
The success of the Explorer PI couldn't have come at a better time for Ford. The decision to end Crown Victoria production was not a popular one with police, and combined with Chevrolet and Dodge diving into the LEO market feet first, Ford hasn't been performing as well as it's wanted to. The Explorer has been helping it turn around, though. And with the inclusion of the EcoBoost, Ford also has a legit competitor for the Chevrolet Tahoe on the big utility side of the police market.
