I have a 1962 Ford Galaxie 500. I restored it over the winter. It has a 352 Big Block(not original), with a 2 barrel carburetor and a Cruise-O-Matic transmission. Power steering and power brakes. It's column shifted. She runs and drives beautifully and last year she was my daily driver. All the lights, tail lights, and blinkers work.

The brakes are good, tires are REALLY good(about 80-85% tread left). The tranny shifts great. No leaks from anywhere, but the power steering pump is a little whiny. I'm slowly building ambition to put a new one on it. The paint is fresh, but it's not great. It's good, but there is some slight orange peel.

All of the rust has been cut out and I welded in new sheet metal. The wheels and bumpers have been powder coated. The seats were reupholstered less than 3 months ago. The dash was repainted. New carpet. New headliner. The door panels are the ones I got with the car, they're not original. The armrests are still the original brown. The steering wheel is obviously not original, it's a classic Grant wheel I believe. It just makes it feel like you're driving an old hot rod. I disconnected the horn because I absolutely hate the sound of them.

The grille and rear fascia trim were painted black, it gives the car a really nice and aggressive look. I do have the rest of the trim the goes on the wheel wells and on the bottoms behind the rear wheels. All the gauges, dummy lights, air/heat, defrost, wipers, emergency brake, and dome light(I unpugged that though) work. I also bought a new USA-230 Radio for it and a kick panel kit that has speakers in them.

I also pulled the rear window to put a new seal in it and tint the window(5%) and the side windows have 35% tint on them.

There are exactly 4 things this car doesn't have to make it considered completely restored.

1. A trim piece that goes inside behind the rear seat at the bottom of the headliner. All it does is cover the bottom of the headliner where it attaches to the hooks.

2. A trim piece that goes along the bottom sides of the front seat to hide a couple brackets.

3. I don't have a lens for the dome light. It's just the bulb.

4. There is no gas pedal. Just the arm for it. It honestly never bothered me, but I know it should have lol

I am negotiable on the price. It's not firm at all. I am also interested in trading for a Harley, preferably a softail or bagger. I would also do a half trade/half cash. Let me know what you got or any questions. I'm pretty sure I included everything. I DO have a clean title for it. Feel free to call, text, or email day or night. Thanks for looking!

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.

Top Gear season 25 opens with a V8 roadtrip through America

Mon, Feb 26 2018

Great news for fans of BBC Top Gear: the first episode of season 25 is here. Viewers of BBC America will catch the season opener on March 3, and for the American audience this episode is definitely suitable watching. The episode has been dedicated to V8 sportscars almost in its entirety, as it's been wrapped around a Western roadtrip with a motorsport bias. The three hosts get to choose three V8 sports cars, with the basic idea of finding the best all-rounder. Matt LeBlanc goes for a Hennessey-tuned GT350R, Rory Reid chooses a Jaguar F-Type SVR, and Chris Harris shakes up the pack by selecting a McLaren 570GT. It's a nicely varied trio, with V8 power still showing what it's good for. There are various challenges along the way, just like there should be on a Top Gear roadtrip episode – even if the road surface itself isn't always ideal. But things smoothen out, all the way to a NASCAR oval and an airport runway; the flooded Bonneville salt flats aren't suitable for shenanigans, so substitutes have to be found. The trio also hit dirt roads, and have to evade a buggy-driving Ken Block during a "moonshine run to the border." Fans of Sabine Schmitz will be pleased to find her piloting a chain car racer, which consists of two American junk cars with a Honda CRX chained in the middle. It must make sense to someone. The Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment has been retained for this season. This time it's the British actor Rob Brydon driving the Toyota GT86, on a very wet lap around the show's Dunsfold Aerodrome track that must be a cult classic by now. All in all, the season 25 opener is exactly what it says on the tin. There's nothing out of the ordinary, but it still has excellent cinematography, V8 roar and some nice landscapes. Classic Top Gear. Cowboy duels, Sabine Schmitz chain car racing, @RobBrydon, a @kblock43 car chase and #TheStig The latest episode of #TopGear is available on @BBCiPlayer now. Outside the UK?

Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.
