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.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Ford's cars being held up in Chinese ports in trade tensions with U.S.

Wed, May 9 2018

BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's imported vehicles are being held up at Chinese ports, three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, underscoring how U.S. goods are facing increased customs scrutiny in China amid a tense trade standoff. The three people said Ford and Lincoln vehicles were facing unusual delays at customs, with officials asking for extra technical checks. Two of the people said U.S.-made models of some German carmakers, mainly SUVs, being brought into China, were also affected. Ford was being asked to do extra checks on emission components, said a China-based Ford executive familiar with the matter, asking not be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. China's customs agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The holdups add to a growing list of American products facing issues at China's borders, as officials try to avert a full-blown trade war. Some trade experts said they believe Beijing is sending a defiant warning to Washington in response to sweeping U.S. trade demands made on China last week. Reuters reported Tuesday that China had ramped up inspections of pork shipped from the United States, after the country's customs agency said it would step up quarantine checks on American apples and logs. The second person, a China-based industry official with knowledge of the matter, said the delays for Ford Â— as well as some U.S.-made cars from BMW and Mercedes-Benz Â— had been going on for the last two weeks. "Customs pretends there are technical non-conformities of some nature that won't allow them to clear these U.S.-made cars through customs, but the U.S.-China trade frictions must be the background to this," he said. "Although no one will officially admit it." Responding to a request for comment from Reuters, a BMW spokesman said that "U.S.-made BMW cars have not been delayed at the ports as of last week and before." A Daimler spokeswoman said it was "monitoring the situation closely" regarding ongoing trade talks between China and the United States, but that she could not speculate further on other matters. The third person said the Ford issue, which had been noted by the United States government, and other holdups facing American goods, were clearly related to the trade dispute. A Ford spokeswoman in Shanghai when asked about the matter said: "We are closely monitoring our situation at the port." She declined to comment further.
