1962 Ford Galaxie Hardtop on 2040-cars
Eastman, Georgia, United States
|
Have a good look at this unrestored, unmolested, low milage, one owner, 1962 Galaxie Hardtop. There are plenty of very nice restorations around but a car like this is very hard to find with only 41,682 miles on it. Everything on this car is original, the body is as straight as it came from the factory. The bottom of the rockers are rust free. This car was undercoated when it was new, not recently to cover up anything, but when it was new. You can see this from the underside of the hood and the wheelwells in the pictures. The only flaw I can see in the body is the right rear fender where you can see a spot of paint coming off. It looks like perhaps something fell on the top of it because there is no damage to the bumper or any of the tailight trim. Instead of spotting the paint it was painted up to the door so this fender has a little more shine to it than the rest. Buffing the rest should make it about equal. All the glass is amazingly good but does need the piece of rubber between the front and rear window glass replaced. There is a very minor dent in the rear bumper that you can see in the pictures. The front bumper is straight and only has some small blemishes in the chrome on the right corner. There is not a single rip or tear in the upholstery. The worst thing you can say about the seats is that they have faded just a little over time. The headliner is in great shape but does need the plastic lens on the dome light. The steering wheel is very nice but does have some of the color worn off. All the brightwork trim is very good and only needs some polishing on some of it. The carpet is good but is faded from light. The engine compartment appears to be all original and complete. It has not been cleaned up and has the 52 years of dirt and a little grease and oil. I could clean this real easy but this car really is a time capsule like it is so I will leave it up to the next owner to suite his taste. The car runs and drives good, Has a 352 cu in engine,the tires are good, has radio and heater, power steering,and cruiseamatic transmission that works good. Absolutly no rust in the floors or trunk, even the gas tank was undercoated. I have tried to mention every flaw I could find, which is not many, but please ask any question you have. If you would like to call, my number is 478-231-4848. I had to mark clear title to get it a list but it is sold with a Georgia bill of sale and a current registration. Cars older than 1963 do not have titles in ga. and a number of other states. It is easy to obtain a title in most states that require one with the bill of sale and reg. One can be obtained for a fee if it's needed in your state. If you are a -O- feedback bidder, please call before bidding.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?
Wed, 30 Oct 2013A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
Are you Ford's next Bullitt Mustang? [w/poll]
Thu, 27 Mar 2014Ford has a long history of offering special editions of its legendary Mustang. One of the most vaunted of those trim packages, though, has only been offered twice. The first time was in 2001, and then again in 2008. Yes, we're talking about the Bullitt.
Named for the infamous Dark Highland Green Mustang Fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 cop melodrama Bullitt, the car was famous for not just its pilot, but the high-speed chase it took part in during the movie. Now, we think we have images of the next Bullitt.
According to our spy photographers, the paint is a "dead-ringer" for the Dark Highland Green that has signified these special edition Mustangs. While we're inclined to agree, it's also worth pointing out that this shade looks very similar to one of the 2015's other new colors, Guard. We've yet to see one on the road (let alone in such dreary conditions), so it's tough to say for certain.
