WOW! Never thought I would be posting this car for sale but retirement is looming and we are looking to relocate to Costa Rica. So here goes. One of a kind. Call it what you want Retro Rod, classic. whatever. Most just call it COOL! 1963 1/2 Galaxie XL. This car is professionally tubbed with backseat and full interior still in car. 4.30 Detroit locker with 4 wheel disc brakes. Weld wheels and Hoosier tires. The car was subject to a rotisserie restoration a few years back with no expense spared. The moldings, grill and bumpers were chromed at a cost of 8K. A Crites AFX hood has been added. 427 badging on the fenders. Originally a 352 car. The underside is painted white as well. This was a ZERO rust Texas car when I bought it about 25 years ago. Outstanding XL interior with nice console. Tilt wheel, POWER WINDOWS (rare) and under dash AC unit. The engine is often mistaken for a SOHC or Boss 9. In reality it is a 4.6 modular motor that I pulled the fuel injection off of. I built a 2 four intake and mounted 2 Edelbrock 500's on. Polished Sullivan valve covers and MSD coil packs made to look like a distributor fire the MSD Mod 6 box. 1 wire alternator and power rack and pinion steering as well. T 45 % speed. This is truly a Saturday night Barrett Jackson car. I have the car for sale locally as well. It will not be cheap but in this case quality cost. Clear Colorado title in my name. Located 25 miles form Denver. Call Dan with any questions at 785 250 1789

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
