 You are looking at a 1966 Ford Galaxie convertible that I am listing for a friend. He purchased the car earlier this summer thinking it would make a great driver for his wife - but alas she does not like the car. (she
does like it - but feels it is way too big for her to drive). So - as things have turned out he has decided to sell the car. In looking the car over it is solid with a newer paint job apparent. The black interior is in good
overall condition with no rips or tears. The carpeting is in great condition and the convertible top is newer as well. The top motors work great to put it up/down. Note that the rear glass is REAL glass NOT plastic
like most of the replacement tops use. There is an underdash stereo that my buddy has never used which is hooked up to speakers in the trunk with a booster as well. Note that the original push button factory radio
is still in place in the dash (so the dash was not chopped up to install an aftermarket radio in it) Wear items - such as pedal pads etc look to be original to the car and are not excessively worn, indicating a high mileage
car. The odometer shows 4286 but I would believe that the  odometer has turned over at least once (see mileage  in the listing header - no way knowing for sure what it really is). All the glass is in good condition.
The body is solid as stated and all the gaps are straight. The doors hang straight with no sag and the bottoms are good. Rockers, fender and 1/4 bottoms look good. Chrome still is shiny and not all pitted and all the
aluminum trim is in good condition including the grille. Note that the headlight trim and tail light chrome would need to be re-chromed for show, but they are great as they are for a really nice driver. Tires are newer
15 inch radials with nice wheel covers. The trunk appears as it should - with nice original carpet and spare tire cover. Running gear - 390 V8 big block. The engine APPEARS to have been out for rebuild - this is stated
because it does run great, has headers, late model HEI ignition, Edelbrock aluminum intake with Edelbrock 4 bbl. carburetor and it was detailed when out. We cannot guarantee this however!!!. Newer hoses and
belts have been installed along with a one wire alternator. Engine starts right up and runs great. Sounds great too through the headers and dual exhaust. Transmission works fine and provides nice smooth cruising.
Win the bid - fly in - take the train or bus or come with a buddy (or your better half) and drive this baby home..

Again - please note that I am listing this car for a friend. Should you have any questions or want more pictures please contact me through e-bay or call me at 269 795-2647. I will do my best to get back to you with
an answer.

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake

First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
