Up for auction is an original 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD hard top. The car has a very good running 390 4BBL equipped with A/C and power steering. The car runs and drives excellent, the engine has had a recent tune up, carburetor rebuilt, original Cruise-O-Matic transmission rebuilt, and the exhaust shortened to exit just behind the rear wheels on each side rather that straight out of the rear as seen in a couple of the pictures. The car was dyno tuned after all of this work was performed, the 390 produced 349.7 ftlb of torque and 229.7 Hp @ 4050 RPM (see dyno sheet in photos). Front and rear shocks, belts and hoses have all been replaced within the past year. The undercarriage of this car is very solid, there is surface rust in areas that the paint has worn thin and chipped off but nothing that will require any major work. The trunk has surface rust as well, very solid. The rear quarter panels should be replaced, the rust is through in one area of the drivers side but the main structure of the wheel well is fully intact. Some of the chrome trim has pits but is straight and complete. The interior is original with the exception of the carpet, it is a high quality replacement. There is one seam that is split on the driver side top of the seat back, the original color has faded on the tops of the seats as well. The steering wheel has a couple of cracks, and the part of the dash above the gauges has warped and cracked it does look good with a dash mat over it though. This car is stored indoors and driven in good weather, it always starts runs well and draws a crowd wherever it goes, it is a lot of fun to drive. We have enjoyed taking it to many local shows and rod runs, it is ready to be driven wherever it needs to go with confidence. We will require a $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of the auction closing, the balance due upon pickup or prior to. The car needs to be picked up here locally within seven days of auction close unless other arrangements are made. We can help with loading the car, or provide a ride from the airport. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 303-594-0670.

Ford recalls 90,736 vehicles due to engine valve issue

Sun, Sep 1 2024

Ford will recall 90,736 vehicles as engine intake valves in the vehicles may break while driving, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Saturday.Â The recall impacts certain 2021-2022 Bronco, F-150, Edge, Explorer, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with either a 2.7L or 3.0L Nano EcoBoost engine, the NHTSA said. According to documents posted by NHTSA and sourced from the automaker, "The engine intake valves may break while driving, which can result in engine failure and a loss of drive power." Following an investigation that started in January, 2022, Ford found 22 instances where "the engine intake valves fractured and fell into the combustion chamber of the engine causing catastrophic engine damage." The automaker's analysis continues: "Ford identified that the potential root cause of the failures was engine intake valve failure due to valves that exceeded the designed specification for hardness, were brittle, and more likely to fracture. Ford determined that this was due to the supplier’s grinding processes and the sensitivity of the intake valve material to grinding processes that were not within control specifications. The intake valve material was changed for vehicles produced after October 31, 2021." Fixing the problem will require replacement of the entire engine. "Dealers will inspect each vehicle to determine its cumulative number of engine cycles. For vehicles that do not meet the engine cycle threshold, dealers will accumulate high revolutions per minute (rpm) engine cycles per a service procedure. Engines will be replaced on vehicles that do not pass the engine cycle accumulation," Ford says.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
